How do I dislike thee? Let me count the ways. 1) Blackhawk, played by Lyle Waggoner, dances across the snow, daintily keeping his left hand out of danger. (He may have just dropped in, as there are no footprints anywhere.) 2) Olaf blows him a kiss while cranking out armpit farts. 3) A skull in a wreath is apparently driving that jet-bobsled. 4) Somehow the two wolves neither burn their feet nor lose their balance while standing on the cowling of the machine guns. Scratch that: the wolf on the left is somehow suspended above his cowling. Maybe he's using his outside paws to push the sled along. 5) What is meant to be the front runner looks like a horse's hoof turned in, making it even more difficult to figure out what the hell that contraption is. 6) The symbol on the sled stands for Von Gross. You can tell that, right? I see the "V," but the rest of that curlicue might as well be a letter in the Cyrillic alphabet. 7) The cute little smoking jackets. Definitely what mercenaries would wear. BTW, I admire George Evans's art, but this is proof positive that (a) anybody can have a bad day and/or (b) Vinnie Colletta is the worst vandalizer of art since the guy who took a hammer to the Pieta.

Poor Vinnie, he always gets the blame... He's got broad shoulders.

Shanna the She-Devil begs to differ. Well, even a broken clock's right twice a day. Love the detail in her face.

Coletta was capable of doing good work. He just usually didn't.

Vince Colletta deserves an awful lot of the scorn heaped upon him. But he did a lot of great work. Some of those Tales of Asgard stories are incredible, even if he did once erase the head Kirby drew on the King of the Giants.

Never understood the appeal of Humerto Ramos Seriously, who tried to pull his head off and how did Spidey survive? I think it's a fun exaggeration of how he is turning his head in shock and surprise.

Exaggeration and distortion has a long tradition in cartoons and comic books. It's very unfair to consider an artist who lives that tradition on a level with a talentless hack like Liefeld.
