When Casper the Friendly Ghost's artist visited the Marvel Bullpen, Marie Severin remarked, "They don't know it, but this is the best artist that ever walked through these doors." Was she right? Jim Thompson (A People's History of Comics; Eisner Hall of Fame judge), Alonso Nuñez (executive director, Little Fish Comic Book Studio; Eisner Hall of Fame judge), Mark Badger (artist, DC/Marvel; creator of Badgetoons), Mimi Pond (cartoonist, humorist, author of Do Admit: The Mitford Sisters and Me), Bruce Simon (cartoonist/writer, co-author of Hoo-Hah!), Steve Leialoha (artist), and Andrew Kunka (professor, USC Sumter) look closely at the Eisner Hall of Famer's greatest covers from Casper the Friendly Ghost, Wendy the Good Little Witch, Hot Stuff, Little Dot, Little Lotta, Stumbo the Giant, and Richie Rich in a master class on color, brushstrokes, design, direction, character expression, and the art of the gag.
