Both have a similar plot (thief tries to rob a department store, mannequins drink the thief's blood) This tale has a different ending but is just as effective as Ditko's tale was.JMR777https://www.blogger.com/profile/03538238702295526065noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1489622848939498705.post-54811160225399874762019-02-19T06:26:01.135-05:002019-02-19T06:26:01.135-05:00That's wild, especially that manic last page! ...That's wild, especially that manic last page! Even the lettering is all askew!<br /><br />A cursory check through the internet showed stuff by William Payne in French, which might suggest he was from majority Franco-phone Quebec. The examples of his comic strip work also feature a different art style than this, making me think that he had maybe grabbed a bunch of American comics as guides for entering the Anglo-phone comic book market.
