There are a number of great comic artists who are great despite weak drawing skills. One thinks of Wally Wood (whose drawing style Harvey Kurtzman described as stiff and wooden, but who is nevertheless beloved for his fabulous imagination, creativity and humanity) or Will Eisner (who is lauded for his marvelous cinematic style and his humor but whose drawing is yeoman at best). I guess there's no one formula for greatness, and I guess that's a good thing. I agree with you on both counts, Charley– the drawing and the writing.
