True.
I knew I wanted to use a Jordan from each phase of his career, and AD&D was the system I preferred the least (still D&D mind you), so...
Keep in mind that the man could still drop 40 at this point of his career, so it's not much of an indictment, if any.
Funny enough, I took your pics in a totally different way. In the first one, you have Jordan standing, looking very intensely at what's in front of him. By 4e, we have a back shot, pulled back away from his face - a more birds eye view of the action.
Each pic kinda evolves from that front view of Jordan planning to the 4e bird's eye view shot. This is an interpretation of the editions I can get behind.
