I think he did<BR/>a Mary Marvel story or two during<BR/>this time as well, with equally<BR/>delightful results.<BR/>As a long-time inker for Curt Swan's Superman in subsequent years, he was not my favorite<BR/>embellisher. But DC was giving one<BR/>of their stalwarts steady work,<BR/>and the days of JERRY LEWIS and<BR/>BOB HOPE were long gone.<BR/>Even later, Bob Oksner became an<BR/>instuctor at the Joe Kubert School,<BR/>after my time there, darn it!<BR/>From what his bio offers, he sounds<BR/>like he would be a most interesting<BR/>person to get to know!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
