Gottfredson-inspired artwork can be found a lot in Italy since the 50s
(Scarpa, De Vita) and in Denmark since the 90s (Ferioli).
IMO, *most* of these are much better than Denmark's Murry imitations.

I've seen many good stories spoiled by bad artists...
(e.g. Pete Alvarado on Dick Kinney, or Bob Gregory on Bob Gregory).
And to my eyes that's worse than a badly written story
with beautiful art.
