There's a quote from Moorcock in Whelan's WonderWorks collection acknowledging that Whelan had painted muscles as the marketplace demanded but that he'd captured his internal struggles and actually painted him as an albino, which several previous artists had not.
I'm partial to the Whelan depiction myself, Gould's style doesn't click with me.
