I can't agree with you more, Local. As much as I love comic books and the beautiful finished art within, the original penciled artwork is where it is at for me. You get all the heart and soul of the artist right there in front of you. There is no question about his talent.
Some artists vastly improve with a good inker behind them. Some artists suffer because the tracer isn't up to the task. But with pencilled artwork, you see for yourself if the guy has the chops to run with the big boys. More specifically, I would say Jean-Jacques Dzialowski has those chops. His pencils are wonderfully detailed and jump off the page. Makes me wish I still read Batgirl!
