Pardon my ignorance- What does Mike Sekowsky have to do with Lichtenstein? Also- is there anyone in the comics community who doesn't hate Lichtenstein? I seem to recall Spegielman hating on him, and I can't think of a reason to respect him. From wikipedia: Artist Dave Gibbons said of Lichtenstein's works: "Roy Lichtenstein's copies of the work of Irv Novick and Russ Heath are flat, uncomprehending tracings of quite sophisticated images."
sidenote- it was interesting that the most noticable changes Lichenstein made were to change brunettes into blondes.

Thanks for the explanation. I might have respected Lichty if he gotten Egg-Fu hung in an art gallery.
