Same thing goes for figures 2 and 2A. Both depict a character reacting to a punch in the jaw. While 2 is a perfectly elear, under-standable sketch, it simply isn’t done in the Marvel style. It doesn’t have the vitality, the movement, the sharply curved center linę of 2A. See how much looser 2A is—see how the legs are bent and thrusting baekwards as the arms jut forward. See how the head follows the center linę, completing a graceful, fluid curve. Now that’s Marvel!
