It seemed that it was Sago's lot to do knock-offs (at least his best known stuff), which is probably why he isn't as well known as some. Still, well done stuff, as you say. <br /><br />Jeez, now that you mention it, AM even has posture and facial expressions of MM, doesn't he? I kept seeing a Milt Stein simularity with the odd angled panels. Good eye, my friend!

An exact replica of MM down to the Terrytoon-looking villains and secondary folks.

It happens to be one I do not have. The issues seems to be in great shape, most of the Atomic Mouse issues I have collected have not been so.
