Since everyone involved is now long dead it would be impossible to know for sure. <br /><br />In those days it must've been a real task to get out a 64-page comic book every couple of months...wrangling all the artists, the writers, deadlines, press time, etc., so I can see where inconsistencies might pop up from not having enough time to pay attention to every detail. <br /><br />I also might be wrong in assuming that Briefer wrote everything he signed. Maybe different writers turned in scripts he illustrated, as well, and consistency suffered.Pappyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01977289662431694607noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31723906.post-32150539177602998132014-04-05T01:09:48.303-07:002014-04-05T01:09:48.303-07:00When I see that sort of inconsistency, I usually a...When I see that sort of inconsistency, I usually attribute it to someone making decisions who didn't see the work as <i>more</i> than <i>just</i> a commercial venture, and didn't have much respect for the readers.<br /><br />I'd guess that Briefer created the new origin story without anticipating that the earlier story were going to be reprinted in the same issue, but that an editor either didn't give a d_mn, or found himself up against an unanticipated budgetary constraint.Daniel [oeconomist.com]https://www.blogger.com/profile/06763094285750736837noreply@blogger.com
