Manhunter was one of the earliest comics I regularly bought and I absolutely loved Doug Rice. Honestly I liked all these artists as a young man outside Gula, who I didn’t know.
Hansen especially was a talent comics should have spent more time nurturing.
I loved Doug Rice’s work on Dynamo Joe back in the day!
