This has been bugging me for years. Does anyone know why the Third Man HOUDINI reissue art is different than the OG? Ignoring things like font and ink color, there's rather extreme discrepancies like both kids hands are redrawn (with fingernails this time), the girls' left arm is redrawn, the boy's shoe is redrawn, the colored stripes in the background are different, and perhaps most telling, there's no Kozik signature in the right corner anymore.
I have the two lined up (almost) exactly here for folks to see the most extreme differences easily, circled in yellow. But there's a ton of subtle differences throughout. This clearly isn't the original art, but what is it? And why wasn't the OG used?
