Bibliography needed

I came here looking for answers that require a fairly complete record of work done. How and why did Abel become incompatible with artists like Swan and Colan? He worked well enough with Colan on Tales of Suspense, so why was his work on Dracula such a disaster? Something he learned between stints for Marvel changed him away from adapting to the styles of the artists he was inking. Can't tell what, because I don't know what he inked at DC besides the Legion of Super Heroes, by which time the damage seems to already have been done.

Besides, any artist needs a thorough record of reference. Thetrellan (talk) 20:47, 8 July 2023 (UTC)
