It's also ironic that you complain about credit, when you've been signing your name to the work of others with your alleged "restorations".
Look for the HRK below the comics code symbol.
Is this a work product done for a DC collection of some sort?


Nah. He was doing this kind of thing for that Silver Age Index site, and now for his blog.

Tracing over some of the blacks to make them blacker (not to mention inconsistent with the rest of the cover image) warrants "artistic" credit, evidently.
... and what also amazes me is that he cannot see how bad his restoration work really is, I am sure the original scan looks less distracting than the patchwork quilt he has turned them into

Stan Lee, 1968:

" ... And we talk it out. Lately, I've had Roy Thomas come in, and he sits and makes notes while we discuss it. Then he types them up which gives us a written synopsis. Originally-I have a little tape recorder-I had tried taping it, but then I found no one on staff has time to listen to the tape again later. But this way he makes notes, types it quickly, I get a carbon, the artist gets a carbon...so we don't have to worry that we'll forget what we've said. Then the artist goes home...or wherever he goes...and he draws the thing out, brings it back, and I put the copy in after he's drawn the story based on the plot I've given him. Now this varies with the different artists. Some artists, of course, need a more detailed plot than others. Some artists, such as Jack Kirby, need no plot at all. I mean I'll just say to Jack, 'Let's make the next villain be Dr. Doom'... or I may not even say that. He may tell me. And then he goes home and does it. He's good at plots. I'm sure he's a thousand times better than I. He just about makes up the plots for these stories. All I do is a little editing... I may tell him he's gone too far in one direction or another. Of course, occasionally I'll give him a plot, but we're practically both the writers on the things. "
