art chantry : i used to do illustration like that back in the 1970's. i stole the style from some guys working in the 1930's, who were stealing it from some guy's from the 1900's who were ripping off some guys from the 1870's and so on and so on. nothing original about this stuff, especially frank miller. he is just managed to exploit it better than most. he is all. there is nothing all that unique
