As I remember, Fuchs was still considered the top illustrator, who most other illustrators admired and were influenced by the most, even well after the 60s'. <br /><br />Looking at Tauss, Buckham, Whittingham and Wohlberg's technique reminded me of Fuchs's late 50s' and early 60s' style, but Fuchs kept changing, while most of these illustrators were still working with what Fuchs had started earlier. <br /><br />As Robert Heindel, a good friend of Fuchs wrote, "Bernie's brilliance was that he could take the same assignment that everyone else got, and do something special with it." <br /><br />Regardless, I think they were all accomplished illustrators, and fit in well with the British magazines.<br /><br />Tom WatsonTomhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13237565169344311948noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18907156.post-56145036546397146102010-07-21T14:35:54.149-04:002010-07-21T14:35:54.149-04:00The colors are gorgeousThe colors are gorgeousCameron K.

These artists really did take what their predecessors did and improve on it.Kyle Henryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01089373828546640424noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18907156.post-69728167517748858902010-07-21T13:19:46.230-04:002010-07-21T13:19:46.230-04:00This series of posts is neat-o; I ordered a copy o...This series of posts is neat-o; I ordered a copy of the book.
