Notes: I've put a question mark here, but to me it is quite obviously Morisi. Once you 'get' him, it's quite easy to see the differences between him and George Tuska. Tuska has a certain type of broad chinned faces he keeps using. Morisi has a way of having his characters stare with an open mouth, his thickline inking is so stiff, you suspect he used a thin pen and just drew over the line many times instead of using a brush and he does weird (and sometimes very clever) things with panels in panels. All these features are visible here. - Ger A.
