Reader Sergio Lopez asked me the other day about this, and I’m inclined to say “Not a Dylan reference!,” but I’m curious about other people’s take on the scene. What do you folks think (it’s from the finale of Born Again)? (click to enlarge)

Anybody who thinks the penciled version of that panel looks better than the one that Vince Colletta inked has no business commenting on art. Kirby’s pencils are a tangled mish-mash, thank God that he had Colletta to make sense of them. – Blog Commenter Henry Moreno (4/20/09)
