Fantastic Four Annual #19 inked by Joe Sinnott Avengers Annual #14 inked by Kyle Baker

In 1985, John Byrne pencilled two annuals that were released in the same month. While Roger Stern wrote the Avengers story and Byrne wrote the FF story, the two storylines converged in a truly unique crossover that uses the same breakdowns for both stories, albeit with different letterers, colorists, and most notably, inkers.

One may be hard-pressed to find two inkers with more contrasting styles: Joe Sinnott, one of Marvel’s all-time greats who gave a gorgeous polish to Kirby’s FF, provides classic, crisp, and clean lines; while then-newcomer Kyle Baker brings more texture and expression to his faces.

When I these books came out, I remember laying the two books open to the same pages, examining how much an inker contributes to the process.

In retrospect, it reminds me of this page from Comics Scene magazine in which they showed how four different inkers can affect the same pencils (by Mike Zeck).
