Sergio Oliva, when asked how close Lee Priest came to Sergio’s trademark pose. “Well, he tried, but you know it is a mile away from the original one.” End of quote. Priest has a smaller frame and may have had more muscle, proportionate to his frame, but Priest has Lee-Labrada-like skeletal proportions, in that his head is disproportionately big in comparison to his entire body and his upper body is disproportionately longer than his lower body, though these proportions are not as extreme as Labrada’s. Whereas Sergio came closer to, what artists refer to as, ideal proportions.
