Me either, Jerry.

Question: I do NOT recognize the Sherman/Abel Santa & Soldiers' pic... is that from a story I have missed...?!?!?!?!

I think it is incredible that Sherman's art even retains much of it's Sherman 'zing' under the heavyhanded inking of Abel, who tended to... well, alter ALL of any artists' pencils that he inked into a distinctly Abel look. Not even he could entirely eradicate Sherman's style.

Also telling: 14 issues he worked on (not couting the tabloid's SECRETS section)?

Like Cockrum, he made a huge impression in a fairly short run.

The santa & soldiers pic is the Legion vs the Toyman from the 1978 DC calendar.

I agree. Bob Mcleod was the best inker for him.
Their work together looks nearly three dimensional!

I love the extreme close-up on Element Lad's eyes in the image above.
Astonishing detail!

I've always had a thing for super-heroes captured in tubes. See also: the Giant-Size AVENGERS issue where Kang has Mantis, Scarlet Witch and Agatha Harkness in tubes, and the original JLoA vs. Libra tale where he captures in entire JLA in individual tubes.

Sherman does great heroes-in-tubes!
