Stories

Notes: Remember I also mentioned the Earl James Jeanie story in WILLIE #17? The name "James" was snuck onto a newspaper in the city dump on page 6? Well I just looked at it again and realize the name Berg is on the other side of the newspaper! This story is a James/Berg story! That's why it doesn't look as slick as that other James work, which is superb. The stylized James pencils are buried under boring Berg inks. - Doc V.
Notes: Cindy/reading Miss America.
