Gene's "blur motion" renderings is a part of his signature style.
Gene loved to draw action scenes.
Gene had many complaints from the people assigned to ink his pencils because he drew so much detail. Eventually, he would no longer be assigned inkers and the colorist would simply work with the Gene's penciled shading.
Gene went out of his way to draw what no one else had drawn, inadvertently setting the bar higher for his fans to follow.
Gene felt that fighting scenes should be hard to follow since a real fight would not be much easier to follow.
The writers assigned to Gene often had trouble figuring where to put text and sound effects as Gene's pages were filled with details.
