Deleted Jail Panels

[Luca Boschi]

Hi, all, and Daniel expecially...

Well, thanks for involving me in this discussion...

It's true, from when I've seen the two panels for the first time, reading
that story reprinted into an old "Albo della Rosa", I think that Buettner
could be the *possible and logical* answer for this puzzle.

Well, no. Maybe that in ZP # 100 I wrote one or two lines about, but not a
whole article, since ZP # 100 has not real articles inside, only an index,
with comments, about stories, covers and so on.

Surely, I think that it was a "rough" and quick, last-minute-work. If
actually Buettner got his holydays, or was ill, maybe he wasn't able to do
the job... And maybe also that Dan Noonan (I also like his art very much)
was passing thru there to bring Miss Packer some pages he made for another
comic book, so he was compelled to change the two panels before leaving.


Even if Buettner was a very clever artist in doing animal no-feathered
characters, I think he wasn't trained enough to draw ducks,even if some
covers by him are marvelous. But not all, IMHO.
In the meantime, often Dan Noonan made "fast art", full of personality, but
without being so careful in details. So, he can be a good candidate, too.
Honestly, I can't judge if the two panels were made by the first or by the
second.

It makes sense. 

Thank, bye,
