At least it sorta looks right, unlike the Yaffa edition, where the good Kree Captain appears to have been covered by some featureless green blob. Has he been slimed, "Ghostbusters" style? Colouring aside, the reproduction of the original art on the Yaffa cover looks much cruder than the earlier Newton - much of the fine details appears to have been lost, although it's not glaringly obvious until you compare the two. It's an interesting contrast - thanks! Mark Cannonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12697876173788829560noreply@blogger.com
