Dick Giordano was better known as an inker (and editor), and it was an article
in The Amazing World of DC Comics about his inking that introduced me
to thinking about line weights, about how a thin line on the top (or better-lit side)
of a drawn object (or person) and a thicker line below (or in the shadowed side) made
the object (or person) have a more realistic, three dimensional feel. Oddly, I had never really noticed
that before, but I noticed it constantly thereafter, and saw that Giordano was a master at it.
