Small technical problem

January 26 2004, 3:43 AM 

Whenever the JLA scans are downloading for me, the very bottom of the image doesn't appear and the remainder "stretches" to fill the space, resulting in an image that's both incomplete and distorted.

This is something that's happened elsewhere a few times before, and it always seemed to correct itself -- but it's still happening here. Is there any particular way to fix this problem? (In case it matters, I'm working on a G4 Power Mac.) Thanks...

The pages look great!

John,

I've been a long time fan, since the late 70's, of your work.
You were one of the artists that inspired me to want to draw comics for a living.
Thank you for posting up your pencils to the JLA work.
I've been curious as to what your pencils looked like and didn't think they would be so tight considering Jerry Ordway is doing the inking.

Having seen your pencils and Jerry's inks it seems to me that Jerry is doing more finishing than inking. I say that because when I see the finished pages I see more of Jerry in them than you.

Did you expect that? Have you thought about just doing breakdowns since Jerry really is adding a lot of his own style in?

I think the finished product looks great and am looking forward to picking up the issues.

On a side note, you might not remember, but I had dinner with you and John Beatty when you were down for a convention in Orlando a few years back. It was a great time!

I know what you mean, but as that other JB will tell you, I'm sure, what Ordway is doing is redrawing , not "finishing". What I turned in were finished pencils. Finishing is done -- as the name implies -- on unfinished pencils, aka breakdowns.
