Dates and expansion both good and hook fact confirmed. Unfortunately there appears to be plagiarism issues as a spot check of another fact found the following:
- Article: Stan's artwork was inspired by his idol, Alex Raymond, the Flash Gordon artist.[3]
- Source: Stan's artwork was inspired by his idol, Alex Raymond, the Flash Gordon artist.
- Rest of article needs to be thoroughly checked before promotion. --Allen3 talk 14:27, 28 October 2011 (UTC)
There is further plagiarism in the article. Another example:
- Article: "The brothers prepared high-quality bromides (black and white photoprints) of the sample art pages, which Stan hand-tinted using coloured inks."
- Source:[1] "The brothers prepared high-quality bromides (black & white photoprints) of the sample art pages, which Stan hand-tinted using coloured inks."
Other sentences are far to close to the sources as well. This needs to be vetted closely.--Cúchullain t/c 21:19, 4 November 2011 (UTC)
