"It is often said that good comic art should not be so detailed as to slow the pace, but equally must be accurate and vivid to conjure scenes real enough to live in the reader's imagination. Steve's art managed these traits perfectly, sacrificing flashy page layouts and complex panel constructions for the sake of concise storytelling."
