Hey, Alex! Thanks for the review- I was the inker and cover artist on this book- it was done 34 years ago- we were all at the beginning of our comics careers- Mitch went on to do a lot of work for DC Comics and Dark Horse, and Roland became an editor for Malibu’s Ultraverse line, and has recently started up his own line of comics called Silverline- The veterinarian Demon knew Cat and Mouse from tye first issue, when Mouse brought a wounded Cat into the veterinarian clinic to be cared for- and I know the rebuttal to that- “If that’s so, then why wasn’t it even mentioned once in this issue?” And to that I’ll just have to reiterate that it was 34 years ago and we were all rookies then- we’ve all had lots of on-the-job training since then, that’s for sure-
@stevenbutlerstudios thank you so much for letting us know some of the stuff you did. I did particularly like the covers the most and yeah I could tell most of the things I had issues with were simply from being younger. Were you given the opportunity to do the pencils for the whole book? I'll definitly be reviewing more of these types of books, people really seem to enjoy them.
Mann published his Silverline books back in the late 90s. I discovered this line several years ago and was able to find all the comics published. They are dated but still a fun read. Also, I don't know who owns Cat & Mouse but I don't believe it's Marvel since Mann published a third volume of Cat & Mouse recently.
Hey Alex! Steven pointed me to this! Wow! This one was at the bottom of your stack, huh? :) Thank you for the review and the mostly nice things. ;) As Steven pointed out, this was early in our career--actually my 2nd ever published book. Seeing that splash on page 3 makes me cringe! LOL Nick, the letterer, had never lettered a comic either, but--at the time--we really thought it fit the style of the art/story. Looking back now, I can absolutely see it is often hard to read. Mitch's pencils/storytelling just got better and better and I think we really jived from 8-12, and his storytelling really became top notch! It's actually NOT a Marvel comic--it was and is a creator owned comic (like a lot of the Aircel/Eternity comics). In fact, we just completed crowdfunding a 4 issue mini-series last year and are getting reading to work on another! Again, thanks for taking the time to review the comic!
@brolandmann awesome! I hope you don't take my criticisms too hard I 100% know that all the issues I had were due to inexperience. I I really do love your art, we all grow and get better. It's also cool that you get to keep your creations and marvel didn't swallow it up (though a cat and Mouse show on Disney would be epic!)
I have that comic, remember buying it when it first came out😊

No sir, I was the inker on this book- Mitch Byrd was the penciler-
