I tend to believe that one of sterankos biggest influences was Milton glaser. Great vid thx 🙏

One of my favorite episodes. Very much so enjoyed this. So much better to see the facial expressions with the video. I feel Groth was just being honest from the point of view of a young gun in the game. I admire both Steranko and Groth. Thankyou Alex and Jim for this.

I love Groth because he shits on everything which always makes me laugh. I disagree with his opinions often and this video is no exception. Steranko is the shit.

I'm gonna have to check out the whole interview because out of that context, Groth comes off a little bitter here.

[@williampardlow5988]

Was it Guido Crepax that Groth mentioned at the end of the video?

question: steranko says he was mistreated by schwartz. groth: well he mistreated me. Well maybe groth can thank schwartz. groth: steranko was making the same ol crap marvel was famous for with a new dressing. Well of course, he wanted to BE published by marvel. no kidding.

[@ComicBookHistorians]

Mistreated by Samm Schwartz. But treated well by Julius Schwartz.

[@mariosimoni2841]

@@ComicBookHistorians of course, he was referring to Samm. Julius? Steranko worked for him once, and only once www.mikesamazingworld.com/mikes/features/creator.php?creatorid=1281. I see you are referring to the Steranko-Julius S. meeting Steranko talked about.
