Actually that picture would not strictly be post crisis as none of those guys at the time, except Clark (and possibly mind reader J'onnz), would have known Bruce was Batman.
Its a fantasy picture pure & simple with no indications it was pre or post Crisis!
In those Avengers pics, is that an indication there are two Avengers teams?
And the guy with the red glasses, is that Wonderman harking back to his safari jacket costume days?
That was always my fave Wondy costume!

No you argumenative poof...I meant that the cover was created for a tpb of Secret Origins issues, which came out Post-Crisis. Bolland has gone on record talking about how Barry's non-interaction with the rest of the group, and their subsequent lack of noticing him, was a subtle gesture to the fact of his death. That's all...

Not being argumentaive, just pointing out that though the picture might have been drawn post-Crisis the picture itself was not post crisis.
If Barry is sposed to be dead in that picture then it could only be set during the crisis!
As I pointed out, Bruce would not be known post Crisis, and Barry wasnt dead pre-Crisis!
Bolland's one of the best, no doubt.
Of all the DC characters, I always thought that his style was best suited to Batman. Ironically, however, at least as far as covers go, it seems like he's spent more time drawing Supes and Wondy.
The new Sandman...
The new Shazam...

Growing up, Simon Williams was my favorite Marvel character. I always found it cool that, while everyone was running around in spandex, here's this guy wearing generally normal clothes, and sunglasses. Not to mention, he was Superman without all the massive power levels, flight, or Boy Scout morality. Awesome character. Hope they do a lot with him in the new series...

Yeah, but, his WW always seems...flat. And, he's just not the Superman artist for me. Batman, and the Gotham Universe, is very much his forte'...

His time teamed up with The Beast during his Avengers days was awesome as well!
Here was this ultra powerful guy who always doubted himself, and was trying to crack Hollywood, teamed with a wisecracking genius.
It was such a mismatched team, yet worked so perfectly!
No doubt. When Busiek and Perez restarted the Avengers title, they had planned on re-teaming Wondy and Beast...but the fucking X-Offices wouldn't let them use him...
I hate to say it, but Perez draws PG's breasts too small. They're the same size as nearly every other female superhero that he depicts.

Weird that he's suddenly gained prominence, then. He must be Marvel's replacement for Thor (or Hercules). Maybe Herc bites it in the final Civil War issue?
He's gained prominence because Michael Avon Oeming took an interest in him, which means Bendis took an interest in him, which means the donkeyfucker has to sign off on him in Avengers (probably as payback for forcing Wolverine down Bendis' throat).
There was a recent, very shitty Ares series too.
I think that's the "interest" Michael Avon Oeming took, of which I spoke earlier.
when did Black Widow get a breast reduction?
A little Amalgam Age.

During the Frank Miller run of Daredevil she was fairly flat chested. As was Elektra.
Perez always drew her with basketballs in her shirt.
Yeah, I remember that. I'm just noting that a flat chested Widow is not without precedent.

No Dan Jurgens is enough Dan Jurgens...
I've always found Jurgens to be a solid artist, especially when coupled with the right inker. If I have a quarrel with his work its that he spends too much time trying to be a(n ultimately mediocre) writer instead of honing his skill as a penciller.

Gotta say, while this is a nice piece of work (I have even snatched it as my desktop wallpaper), there certainly seems to be some neglect in this.
Firstly, why Superman in the original league?
Shoulda been someone like GL or Canary doing the bridge over as Supes was retroactively not that active in the early years! (but I guess that is the only way they felt they could use the magnificent 7 as the bridge characters)
The only appearance of the Flash is the Barry picture in the original league, no appearance of Wally at all (he coulda appeared in either the Giffen era or the magnificent 7 era)!
The Giffen era league features only a handful of JLA characters despite having probably the most members during that era.
Why no JLE or JLTF represented?
I wouldnt expect everyone to appear, but there coulda been a much better mix than this (Captain Atom only lead a team).

It was probably an artistic choice not to include every version of the League. I think it may have weakened a really good pic trying to shoehorn everyone in. As it is, you have the big 7 linking the various eras of the League that makes me wish I didn't decide to wait for the trade. It's odd though that Wally didn't make it in or the silver age Hawkwoman for that matter. Those two being included would have made this perfect for me.
And could Supes now have been an active original member? I haven't been keeping up but it seems like DC has very much embraced the silver age as it concerns Superman. Has this been officially changed?

He was a pretty nice fella. I brought the book for him to sign and told him about the statue I had just got(B/W Batman series) He said he'd sign it for me, so it take pride of place now on my shelf.
I also got Zombie Guy to do a sketch - bit of a gay tosser. I got the impression he really doesn't like the superhero comics or fans.
David Finch did a cool Moon Knight sketch in my Moon Knight Premier HC - a good guy, I think his wife fancied me, afterall, she does have a thing for baldies and I'm the best at being bald!

To Kamphausen, then we went to see the Batman:Dark Knight preview!
I think he was jealous because I was more bald then he is! But he is fatter and vastly more talented.
I can't wait for the collected Batman/Grendel - one of the best cross-overs I have ever read. I'd never read Grendel beforehand and this is what crossovers are about, bringing characters to a new audience.
I went into Grendel overload - I really loved the Hunter Rose character but didn't care much for the rest of his legacy.

Yeah, Arthur Suydam! Manager, I thought it was his boyfriend. He did a ton of other shit also!
He was supposed to do an exclusive signing for VIP members but turned up an hour late.
Silver Armadillo(Frantas brother), LLance and I waited in artist alley for half hour, then when we were next in line, he got up and fucked off.
He had this cool Zombified DC Crisis prints on show. When we asked if it was for sale he said no. Then we saw him handing them out. We asked for one and then he said we had to make a 20 bucks donation. Why couldn't he have said that straight away.
And finally when we did see him - I wanted him to sign my Zombie book, he wanted 20 bucks! Silver Armadillo told him to fuck himself....., but I ponied up.
I am such a fool!
it's a Top Cow promotional piece for various stuff they've got coming out. I just thought it was nice looking.
a comic drawn by Martin Emond. I'll have to see if I can dig up the name.
I seem to recall reading that Power Girl was supposed to be a tongue-in-cheek, semi-serious send-up of other comic heroines. Correct me if I'm wrong. But it would explain moments like these...
no, Peeg was created in the seventies as an attempt at a "strong female persona" (her personality, not her muscles). originally, her breasts weren't as big as they're generally depicted today. I think Bart Sears was the first artist to really make them HUGE in JLE. others just followed suit.
the Adam Hughes pics are mostly Hughes having fun not only with Peeg, but also his image as the "babe" artist.
Either way they are not bad at all. Thanks for correcting me - I wasn't really into comics until Chewy got me to start posting here, so I've had to learn a lot of stuff on the fly.
yeah, it's easy to get the wrong idea. she was supposed to be a "feminist" type originally, but was pretty cliche. her increasing breast size has become something of a joke over the last several years, but she's kind of popular. I think it's the outfit and general look of the character (not just her large boobs, although I'm sure that's it for many.)
i remember reading somewhere that every issue he just kept drawing them bigger waiting for someone to say something but no one ever did...
[Power Girl] was created in the seventies as an attempt at a "strong female persona" (her personality, not her muscles). originally, her breasts weren't as big as they're generally depicted today.
What it boiled down to was that Power Girl was, for all intents and purposes, originally drawn by Wally Wood (the first couple of issues had Ric Estrada layouts, but for all intents and purposes it was Wood's art). Wally Wood is widely recognized as one of the masters of comic book artwork. He's also famous for busty female heroines and, as a result, the sole female member of the mid-70s JSA had huge knockers. Wood was also sort of an odd guy so I wouldn't doubt he slowly made 'em bigger.
Later artists on the book (primarly Joe Staton) didn't draw her so chesty. But the impression of her being especially well-endowed lingered with readers of Wood's run (I know it did for me). This is what probably led Sears and others to start making it a character trait.

Later artists on the book (primarly Joe Staton) didn't draw her so chesty. But the impression of her being especially well-endowed lingered with readers of Wood's run (I know it did for me). This is what probably led Sears and others to start making it a character trait.
I remember it being much smaller in the JLE era, they even covered her legs. It was JSA were she got back in the bathing suit and the circle was made larger.
One of my favorite pictures..
...and then another...
just had to pull out some superman stuff when they show the batman didnt you germy...
It doesn't always have to be about the Bat-Man.
Ah, one of my favorite things; dead Superman.

i dunno. i've never been a fan, but i just think this particular picture is horrible. proportions are off, there's very little detail (particularly for "the king of detail"), everything is flat and relatively anti-dramatic. it has much more of an "upcoming artist" feel to me, versus that of a supposed legend.

marvel sucks!
It looks like Captain America is reading his lines from the inside of his shield.
interesting. I don't agree, but interesting.

and isn't that just the beauty of art for ya...
It looks like Captain America is reading his lines from the inside of his shield.
it kinda does. how bout that?
He's practicing for the upcoming movie. It's a doozy, from what I hear....
Perez was off during most of the 90's, but his stuff in The Brave and the Bold has been great.
Cool.
they look like porn comics.
Both covers suggest fucking afterwards.
Not that there's anything wrong with that.....
Yeah, they kinda do - Rio definitely does a lot with pinups and the like, so most of his stuff has a lot of sex appeal - but unfortunately, the stories and the interiors of the comics fail to deliver what the covers promise...
He looks surprisingly good in red...
surprisingly? fuck you ungrateful motherfuckers. see if I pose for you again.
Al Rio - one of my favorite artists - his stuff is beautiful - how he isn't more famous and popular is beyond me.
because he doesn't do a lot of mainstream work for Marvel and DC.
I remember when he started working for Chaos! and Brian Pulido was talking him up and said "he's got about five different art styles" and I was thinking to myself "no fucking way. that's ridiculous." but after seeing more of his work, and not just the Campbell influenced, sexy stuff, it's true. he really does have a lot of different art styles besides his regular one.
I also have an original sketch by him of one of my characters.
he's also done actual porn comics in Brazil. there's a little bit of trivia for ya.

Ha! After URG's comment, I thought there would be a comment about how hairy Grimm is or something... though, JM, I have to say that I woulda thought Grimm would have chosen a different costume than Red Riding Hood for D*C...

I agree. but that's just the mentality of the majority of the fans: "if it ain't Marvel/DC, it ain't worth looking at/bothering with."

Purgatori 1-7. he also did some Gen13 at Wildstorm immediately prior.

Awesome. Loved Tangent. What's this from?
That is the cover for Justice League of America #16 coming in December.
okay, y'all have been good this week. here's some DC for ya.
original Superman portrait from the DC/National offices d. 1940
this was just too cool not to post.
one of my all time favorite comics. the cover alone kicks multiple kinds of ass. sadly, the second part of the story wasn't as good as the first. but still, damn good buildup.
another great one. Dr. Fate's origin with art by Mcfarlane.
simply a great pic.
aweshome Flash issue with Jay Garrick recounting his honeymoon.
another kickass pic.
I'm Captain Marvel, bitch!
one of the last good JSA stories.
That Superman one (before Jay and the JSA) is from an Adventures issue isn't it? I remember seeing Bullock's (??) style in other issues, I hated it at first but it's grown on me. Kind of like Cooke, it's retro.
I don't know, I just snatched it. but the whole art deco look has always fit that character well.
Pro actually got me this for Christmas one year. I still have nowhere large enough to display it.
kool Mignola Deadman pic.
and a nice Deadshot.
Doc Magnus rocks!
just cool.
aweshome pic. I actually read this issue tonight. Ellis is really doing some great stuff on this book.
Sorry to cut in Grimm.
Sweet ass Wolverine vs. Ghost Rider.
I read the first hardcover of Invincible a couple months ago. I can't remember the last time I enjoyed a comic that much.
Sorry to cut in Grimm.

That picture is practically dripping with '90's....
Because I just finished the second hardcover.
Next hardcover coming in November!
Robert Kirkman is AWESOME. I'm amazed he hasn't gotten more work from Marvel or DC....
He's doing a couple projects for Marvel, otherwise he's spread across Image right now.
hello, Snarf? Marvel Zombies? hello. . .
he was also doing Marvel Team-Up for a bit, which I picked up when Scott Kolins was on art.

There's no loyalty among bald men.

I'm just trying to find more 80's and 90's stuff.
You left out the best TPBs in the new solicitations:
JLI is a HC with issues 1-7. Instead of releasing that again, they should get to work on the 51 issues that haven't been reprinted!
Shoot. I can't make the av look like the original picture.
What are you trying to do? Use the thumbnail version for your avatar?
Screw it.It's not so bad the way it is.

Yeah. I had the picture as my av for the last week or so.I saw yours and tried to use it to replace mine. I than tried to resize it using my HP image program. For whatever reason that didn't work so well.
I just used your new picture and I think that's as good as it will get. I think it's a good picture even if it is a little blurry...
Thanks for the help.

Jay was vibrating when the pic was taken.
So that's why Joan married him!

Try using that. You probably gotta resize it or something.
Spidey looks confused because neither of these women have nipples.
"...the hell am i supposed to put my mouth...hell with this,i'll just stay a virgin... "
Almost looks like he's giving them the finger
I never seen this title before? Is it just a spoof on House of Mystery or is it a legitimate comic series?
Gold Key went all out for thier covers

That Superwoman's got some super boobs.
i wonder what dc's cash cow property is...
Bisley is the stuff.
His Bat-Man work is some of the best there is...if you like the stylized versions. I like his work, along with Sam Keith and Kelley Jones.
Keith is nice. Jones can eat shit and die.
What...? You don't like the ears?
I don't like the lazy proportions on the people. Their flesh crawls around and morphs between panels (see specifically the Two-Face 2-parter in Batman back in the day). It's retarded.
I feel you...
His Bat-Man always has a 74 pack in stead of a six and from the side, looks like he has 43 ribs. But, I don't see that much of a difference between his work and Bisley's...other than than Bisley has better line work and is more defined than Jones. They are both grossly out of proportion and take crazy liberties with anatomy.
That said, I still like their versions.
Uschi, who's your fave mainstream Bats artis? Who does the definitive Batman and Joker to yuo?
But Biz stays with his own sense of logic, you know? Kelly Jones is all over the map.
Batman is Norm Breyfogle. I like his gestural quality. It gives a lot of action to the image. Batman puts on the cowl and the human vanishes, replaced by a creature of motion and fluidity and scary and shadow. There are others, maybe a handful, but I never really bothered to learn their names.
Joker? I am more open with my Joker artists. Breyfogle is great at rendering him, but fails to capture any madness. His is the wrong sort of Joker. Alex Ross draws a beautiful Joker though. That "Justice" thing that came out? OH my god yes. Just want to gobble it up to enjoy it all the more. But I also absolutely adore the Biz Joker, all grossness and twisty and weird. Batman: Lobo is my favorite comic of all time due to this. Then back in Gotham Central there was a storyline called "Soft Targets" where Joker sniped people X-Mas shopping and then turned himself in and then blew people up anyway -- he was drawn very "Conrad Veidt" and that makes me melt. I also have some random War Games issue where Joker was drawn looking exactly like David Bowie. Hawtt. Then the Chuck Dixon version from Joker: Devil's Advocate -- as represented in Kwink's avatar. Tasty. Especially in that bright orange suit with the neon green tie and pitch black dress shirt... mmm.
Anyway, time to stop playing nice. People might get ideas.
Let me emphasize: Jones is a phenomenal cover-artist. It's the interiors, where he needs consistency, that he fails at.
Batman is Norm Breyfogle.
marry me...
Anyway, time to stop playing nice. People might get ideas.
heh
What...? You don't like the ears?
kelley jones and scott beatty were a pretty damn good team. not anywhere near my favorite, or anything i'd call a "definitive" look, but i really quite liked their approach.
they were working the batman title around the time when DC finally used the good paper and computer coloring (i'm thinkin... batman 519?). the two of them would make some super high-contrasted splash scenes, where the colors (sorry bastie) and their digital might would run wild to separate from (sorry bastie) the blacks.
for example:
always a favorite of mine.
plus, his "back asplode!" image depicting the fateful bane vs batman moment is one of the more iconic comic images of the past, oh, 25 years
which, by comparison, makes jim aparo's in-book scene look like ... fucking clown shoes:
Great covers, Sonhaven! They make me wish I wish I was an ultra gazillionare and had every Batman issue ever written from Detective # 27 to present day.

My geekiness is finally rewarded!
For Batman...I hate to say it because it's really cliched....but, I really loved Jim Lee's work...
Don't get me wrong. I started actually reading
Detective when Norm Breyfogle was on it. But, there's just something
gritty-yet-graceful about Jim Lee's Batman. That's just me, though...
Jim Lee is my favorite as well. Its a shame the Hush ended up crappy but the art was always great. I really want to get a poster of the last issues cover.
If there was a comic hall of fame Jim Lee would be in it...........but then again I guess so would Stan Lee.....oh well
goddamn, Cassaday's aweshome.

Grimm, is that guy in the black outfit flying high overhead supposed to be Cannonball? If so, he sure has changed since I last read X Men!
and yeah, that is an awesome pic!

Thanks, Grimm.
I'm just used to seeing Sam Guthrie enshrouded by a protective force field, as he was drawn in the New Mutants...
yeah, I always think of those SienkIcan'tspellhisname covers.
Those covers are freakin' awesome!
I had several of those Senkowiczs issues in my wall for years.
Very inspiring to see them every day.
Man, I remeber that old Tomb-of-Dracula-Werewolf-by-Night-Son-of-Frankenstien-70's-stuff. When I was 10, this one comic store used to have a ton of that junk in the .25 cent stack. I used to rack up....probably why I'm not quite right today...too much chease in the brainpan...oh well..
Whatever happened to the Marvel Knights Werewolf By Night? It was an interesting read and then they just stopped printing it....Does anybody know the story there?
Yes, Frank Cho is good. I hear he's done with New Avengers, might Liberty Meadows be back on track?
Whatever happened to the Marvel Knights Werewolf By Night? It was an interesting read and then they just stopped printing it....Does anybody know the story there?
Werewolf by Night, Volume 1 ran for 43 issues during the 1970s. Issue #32 is notable for containing the first appearance of Moon Knight. Five 'Giant-Size' editions were also published during this time. Jack Russell also co-starred with Tigra in Giant Size Creatures #1, which was Tigra's first appearance.Jack Russell was dormant for most of the 1980s. The character's appearance was radically revamped in Moon Knight, Volume 1 #29. He guest-starred in various issues of Spider-Woman, Volume 1, West Coast Avengers and Doctor Strange: Sorcerer Supreme.Werewolf by Night was later revived in the pages of Marvel Comics Presents, where he appeared irregularly from 1991-1993. He also made regular appearances as a supporting cast member in the pages of Morbius the Living Vampire from 1993-1995. A letters page in an issue of Morbius mentioned that a Werewolf by Night mini-series by Len Kaminski and James Fry was in the works, but the mini-series was never published.Werewolf by Night, Volume 2 ran for 6 issues in the late 1990's. The series was written by Paul Jenkins and penciled by Leonardo Manco. After the book's cancellation, the story was continued in the pages of Strange Tales, which also featured the Man-Thing. That volume of Strange Tales was canceled after only two issues due to poor sales.In early 2007, Marvel published a one-shot entitled Legion of Monsters: Werewolf by Night, with art by Greg Land.

who's the artist who did the Frankestein pics?
Doug Mahnke. it was from Morrie's 7 Soldiers group of books. one of the better ones, too.
wait - wasn't he an artist on JLA?
yeah, he did JLA for a bit.
wow. this looks much better than the work he did there.
yeah, a lot. he's on Stormwatch: PHD now and his stuff looks pretty good there, too. read the first trade about a week or so back.
Mahnke reminds me a bit of Rags Morales. Both are really, really, good artists who have styles that are better suited to non-superhero books.
Yeah, I agree with you WRT Mahnke. As for Morales - he's talented, but I just never liked his art.
I liked his Hawkman work because it had a bit of the old Kubert look to it, but that was the exception.
Never saw it - like a lot of people, I only became familiar with him after IC.
OMG - I just saw your sig line...
and thanks for the pic.
Weapon Plus Though during the 1940's the existence of mutants was unknown to the general public, a few individuals were aware of the coming of Homo Superior, and that they had the potential to replace baseline humans as the dominant species of Earth. Thus Weapon Plus was created to address the so-called mutant problem. What was ignored by everyone involved in Weapon Plus is that its mastermind, John Sublime, was actually the host body for a sentient bacteria present on every living creature on the planet, save for mutants, who were genetically immune to the Sublime infection.
The first nine installments of Weapon Plus were partially successful. Weapon X produced a number of agents, though it branched off and even became opposed to Weapon Plus's interests. To prevent subsidiary programs from going rogue, Weapon Plus directly oversaw the creation of the last living weapons operating in the clandestine facilities of The World, employing Bolivar Trask's Sentinel technology.
Throughout the decades, Weapon Plus has used increasingly more extreme methods to create its supersoldiers. Captain America was enhanced to peak human levels. Weapon X employed genetic alteration, brainwashing and memory implants. The latest creations were bred specifically to become mutant-hunting weapons much deadlier than Sentinels.
Weapon One Project: Rebirth, headed by Professor Abraham Erskine (given Reinstein's name as a cover identity) managed to produce Captain America (Steve Rogers). However Erskine was murdered moments after Rogers was successfully empowered, the refinements he introduced which made the process successful lost with his death. With his demise, Josef Reinstein took over the American program.
Two other subjects, Clinton McIntyre, a.k.a. Protocide, a failed experiment who was placed in suspended animation and was revived in the modern era by AIM, and the first mutant experiment designated Queen seem to have occurred prior to the serum being tested on Steve Rogers.
Reinstein's early attempts to refine the formula resulted in African American super soldiers (most prominently Isaiah Bradley). Three hundred African-American soldiers were taken from Camp Cathcart and subjected to potentially fatal experiments at an undisclosed location, as seen in Truth: Red, White and Black in an attempt to recreate the Super Soldier formula. Only five men survived the original trials; hundreds of test subjects left behind at Camp Cathcart and the camp's commander were executed by US soldiers in the name of secrecy, the families of the three hundred were told that they had died in battle. Isaiah Bradley was the lone survivor.
Although there were many later attempts to recreate or reverse-engineer Project: Rebirth's Super-Soldier Serum, none are known to have been involved with Weapon Plus except for the attempt that resulted in the creation of Isaiah Bradley's son Josiah X. Weapon Plus considers Captain America as its most successful creation, despite the fact that Rogers has been at odds with the United States government a number of times. It should be noted that Project: Rebirth was retroactively made a part of the Weapon Plus after WWII when Weapon Plus was actually formed.
Weapon 2 through 4 Weapons II-IV experimented on animals. It is unknown if the experiments succeeded in creating a living weapon. Grant Morrison only touched lightly on this element of the Weapon Plus project during his tenure on New X-Men, but later explored the theme of animal-based weapon development in other projects such as the DC Comics publication We3.
Weapon 5 and 6 Weapons V and VI employed various ethnic minorities as test subjects.
Weapon 7 Weapon VII, aka Project: Homegrown, experimented on human soldiers during the Vietnam War. Some of the known participants who died in Project: Homegrown included Andrew Perlmutter, Michael Labash, John Walsh, James MacPherson and fourteen other unknown recruits. The only known successful subject of Project: Homegrown was Nuke, who had armored implants under his epidermis and was addicted to powerful steroids. Logan, who would later become one of Weapon Plus' victims, kidnapped Nuke as a child, and oversaw his conditioning.
The United Kingdom also had its own version of Project: Homegrown, aka the Black Budget, which managed to create the team known as the Super Soldiers: Dauntless, Gog, Dreadnaught, Revenge, Victory, Invincible, Challenger, and some other unnamed super-soldiers.
The Mercy Corporation, an off-shoot of S.H.I.E.L.D. that worked on super-soldiers and eventually broke off, also had its own unit of super-soldiers, using a serum similar to previous derivatives of the Super-Soldier Serum from Weapon I. Their agents included Jack Reno, Keel, Kyle, Agent Villarosa, Agent Davis and Agent Milo.
Weapon 8 and 9 Weapons VIII & IX experimented on criminals and psychopaths.
In Wolverine: The End, by Paul Jenkins, it was revealed that Weapon IX was, in fact, Wolverine's older brother John Howlett (first introduced in Origin), long thought deceased. However, due to the inherent instability in the possible futures depicted in Marvel comics, it is unknown if this is regarded as canon.
Weapon 10 Weapon X, tenth in the series, is the X-Man Wolverine, and this project would spin off into its own series of subjects.
Weapon 11 No individual with the 'Weapon XI' moniker has been seen, but John Sublime has mentioned it. A likely candidate for Weapon XI's true identity is the Hound (a mutant with the power to hunt and kill other mutants), who was transformed by the Hound Program of the US government into a techno-organic killing machine. He battled the government-sponsored incarnation of X-Factor after massacring scientists at a US government research facility, nearly killing Sabretooth in the process, but was stopped by Polaris, who was forced to use her power at its full limit. He was later after Shard, but was destroyed in an explosion after being defeated by her and Bishop.
Weapon 12 Weapon Plus created Weapon XII (aka Huntsman, real name Zona Cluster 6) at the England-based facilities of The World. He was the first living weapon created employing artificial evolution and nanosentinel technology. Weapon XII was "accidentally" unleashed on the Channel Tunnel and fought X-Corporation members Cannonball, M, Darkstar, Rictor, Siryn and Multiple Man. Weapon XII was eliminated by Fantomex with the aid of Jean Grey and Professor X, but at the cost of Darkstar's life. Huntsman was created to be part of the Super-Sentinels, a mutant-hunting team of superheroes with a base in a Weapon Plus space station. This team, a brainchild of John Sublime, was intended to be a publicity stunt to make the genocide of mutants much more acceptable to the public.
Weapon 13 Weapon Plus created Weapon XIII Fantomex, whose real name is Charlie Cluster 7, also at The World. However, Fantomex rebelled against his creators. Like in the case of Weapon XII, Fantomex's powers derive from Nanosentinel technology.
Weapon 14 In New X-Men #154 (May 2004), Grant Morrison's last issue of New X-Men, the telepathic quintuplets called the Stepford Cuckoos were identified as Weapon XIV. The Stepford Cuckoos link to Weapon Plus has finally been addressed in the Phoenix: Warsong miniseries, written by Greg Pak, which explores unresolved storylines from Morrison's New X-Men and Pak's Phoenix: Endsong.
Weapon 15 So far, the last creation of Weapon Plus is Weapon XV, aka Ultimaton, designed to be the Super-Sentinels' grand powerhouse. He dies when Wolverine destroys the Weapon Plus space station that was designed as the Super-Sentinels HQ's.
Weapon Plus to become mutant-hunting weapons much deadlier than Sentinels.
Weapon One The art is reminiscent of Cassaday's stuff...

Weapon 8 and 9 Weapons VIII & IX experimented on criminals and psychopaths.
In Wolverine: The End, by Paul Jenkins, it was revealed that Weapon IX was, in fact, Wolverine's older brother John Howlett (first introduced in Origin), long thought deceased.

Weapon 10 Weapon X, tenth in the series, is the X-Man Wolverine, and this project would spin off into its own series of subjects.
Weapon 11 No individual with the 'Weapon XI' moniker has been seen, but John Sublime has mentioned it. A likely candidate for Weapon XI's true identity is the Hound (a mutant with the power to hunt and kill other mutants), who was transformed by the Hound Program of the US government into a techno-organic killing machine. He battled the government-sponsored incarnation of X-Factor after massacring scientists at a US government research facility, nearly killing Sabretooth in the process, but was stopped by Polaris, who was forced to use her power at its full limit. He was later after Shard, but was destroyed in an explosion after being defeated by her and Bishop.
Weapon 12 Weapon Plus created Weapon XII (aka Huntsman, real name Zona Cluster 6) at the England-based facilities of The World. He was the first living weapon created employing artificial evolution and nanosentinel technology. Weapon XII was "accidentally" unleashed on the Channel Tunnel and fought X-Corporation members Cannonball, M, Darkstar, Rictor, Siryn and Multiple Man. Weapon XII was eliminated by Fantomex with the aid of Jean Grey and Professor X, but at the cost of Darkstar's life. Huntsman was created to be part of the Super-Sentinels, a mutant-hunting team of superheroes with a base in a Weapon Plus space station. This team, a brainchild of John Sublime, was intended to be a publicity stunt to make the genocide of mutants much more acceptable to the public.
Weapon 13 Weapon Plus created Weapon XIII Fantomex, whose real name is Charlie Cluster 7, also at The World. However, Fantomex rebelled against his creators. Like in the case of Weapon XII, Fantomex's powers derive from Nanosentinel technology.
Weapon 14 In New X-Men #154 (May 2004), Grant Morrison's last issue of New X-Men, the telepathic quintuplets called the Stepford Cuckoos were identified as Weapon XIV. The Stepford Cuckoos link to Weapon Plus has finally been addressed in the Phoenix: Warsong miniseries, written by Greg Pak, which explores unresolved storylines from Morrison's New X-Men and Pak's Phoenix: Endsong.
Weapon 15 So far, the last creation of Weapon Plus is Weapon XV, aka Ultimaton, designed to be the Super-Sentinels' grand powerhouse. He dies when Wolverine destroys the Weapon Plus space station that was designed as the Super-Sentinels HQ's.

Awesome. A robo-Dakota.
Weapon Plus Though during the 1940's the existence of mutants was unknown to the general public, a few individuals were aware of the coming of Homo Superior, and that they had the potential to replace baseline humans as the dominant species of Earth. Thus Weapon Plus was created to address the so-called mutant problem. What was ignored by everyone involved in Weapon Plus is that its mastermind, John Sublime, was actually the host body for a sentient bacteria present on every living creature on the planet, save for mutants, who were genetically immune to the Sublime infection.
The first nine installments of Weapon Plus were partially successful. Weapon X produced a number of agents, though it branched off and even became opposed to Weapon Plus's interests. To prevent subsidiary programs from going rogue, Weapon Plus directly oversaw the creation of the last living weapons operating in the clandestine facilities of The World, employing Bolivar Trask's Sentinel technology.
Throughout the decades, Weapon Plus has used increasingly more extreme methods to create its supersoldiers. Captain America was enhanced to peak human levels. Weapon X employed genetic alteration, brainwashing and memory implants. The latest creations were bred specifically to become mutant-hunting weapons much deadlier than Sentinels.
Weapon One Project: Rebirth, headed by Professor Abraham Erskine (given Reinstein's name as a cover identity) managed to produce Captain America (Steve Rogers). However Erskine was murdered moments after Rogers was successfully empowered, the refinements he introduced which made the process successful lost with his death. With his demise, Josef Reinstein took over the American program.
Two other subjects, Clinton McIntyre, a.k.a. Protocide, a failed experiment who was placed in suspended animation and was revived in the modern era by AIM, and the first mutant experiment designated Queen seem to have occurred prior to the serum being tested on Steve Rogers.
Reinstein's early attempts to refine the formula resulted in African American super soldiers (most prominently Isaiah Bradley). Three hundred African-American soldiers were taken from Camp Cathcart and subjected to potentially fatal experiments at an undisclosed location, as seen in Truth: Red, White and Black in an attempt to recreate the Super Soldier formula. Only five men survived the original trials; hundreds of test subjects left behind at Camp Cathcart and the camp's commander were executed by US soldiers in the name of secrecy, the families of the three hundred were told that they had died in battle. Isaiah Bradley was the lone survivor.
Although there were many later attempts to recreate or reverse-engineer Project: Rebirth's Super-Soldier Serum, none are known to have been involved with Weapon Plus except for the attempt that resulted in the creation of Isaiah Bradley's son Josiah X. Weapon Plus considers Captain America as its most successful creation, despite the fact that Rogers has been at odds with the United States government a number of times. It should be noted that Project: Rebirth was retroactively made a part of the Weapon Plus after WWII when Weapon Plus was actually formed.

you should read We3. quite good.
thankee sir! the glory of google and wikipedia.
beautiful arent they....
I've been waiting for a long time for someone to explain the whole weapon thing. All I knew before this was Captain America was the first and Wolverine was the tenth.
I had to idea We3 had anything to do with it. I'm gonna have to make a library run tomorrow.
yeah, I was kinda curious about it, too. so I wikied it and thought it might make an interesting post. . .
While interesting, your post is basically the reason that I stopped reading X-Men. Too much bullshit, ret-cons and continuity glitches over the years. Just too complicated to follow.
And how can you not like Gene Ha? I think his work is great.
Did you ever read Top 10?
yeah, it is an example of way too much crap to keep up with.
yeah, I read some of top ten. hated the art. HATED it.
I had to idea We3 had anything to do with it.
I don't think it does. I think the author was saying that Grant took the idea of animal supersolders mentioned in the Marvel books and ran with that idea to create a separate, independent, creation in We3
I dig Weapon 13.
We3 rocks.
Gene Ha is awesome.

I didn't know they had a Dr. Who comic.....pretty cool
Yeah, dunno if it's released yet, just saw the image off comics continuum.
Is that the same guy who does the Calvinesque Franklin Richards comic?
Probably, he does the G-Man strips also.
And if you like those, these comics should be in back issue boxes everywhere.

i normally dont like ross's batman (too... human, maybe?) but the joker and harley are awesome. and, i guess, of all the pics, even the bat idn't too bad here.
I love that fucking suit.
Some Todd McFarlane for you before he spawned......This is the biggest pic I could find of Detetive Comics 575...always liked the look of it.
yeah, I remember that Action annual. Supes and Bats against a southern vampire girl by Byrne and Art Adams.
That annual had a cool ending....the cops and Bats standing around a bunch of corpes...Bats cape opens to reveal a wooden hammer and stakes as he tells Gordon "You and your men may not want to see this...but it needs to be done before sundown."
That was a great issue

You're right! Mcfarlane did 576-578...Davis did the 575 cover
I sit corrected
I remember that story. Wasn't it so controversial that it was retconed in and out of Bat continuity over the years?
Perez is still the master.
superman gonna get raped?
Grimm, did you pick up the Nocturnals hardcover that came out recently? Amazing stuff. How Brereton slid under my radar is beyond me. I'll be picking up vols. 2 and 3 when they come out.
it hasn't come in yet. Diamond's had "issues" getting this out to places.

To Urg, From Santa:
Kind of ironic that Ben's Santa and Johnny's holding the menorah, given that the Thing's the Jew. Unless, of course, Johnny's laughing, pointing and making the Menorah as some sort of anti-Semetic comment.
Heh. I didn't even think about that.
I remember this image being a bit controversial back when it first came out because I guess some little kids thought that the comic depicted the "real" Santa being killed:
Still, it's one of my favorite Superhero Christmas stories, in no small part to the fact it introduced me to the John Stewart Green Lantern.
"Dan Didio had approached me and said that, for him, the archetypal image of Guy Gardner was a cover that I'd done for Andy Helfer years and years ago[Green Lantern #196]," Chaykin said. "He felt that was the pivotal image in his head to what the character was all about - as a character, not necessarily as a drawing, but as a character."
x-mas fan art:
My DC Christmas images are usually these happy Neal Adams pieces where Batman is usually tickled pink about the holiday.
Wolverines middle claws have got to be the length of his whole arm
Nice art - who's the artist?
new piece by Dell'otto(sp?) I found recently.
Love his stuff, but when I think of his art, I usually think of his
Darkness stuff. He was the only reason I was reading that book, and then they stopped it and I think they're up to vol 3 or 4 with the reboot. But his work on that book was worth the title.
There was a pic he did where the darkness was coming out of his chest a la
Alien style that was phenomenal, but I can't find a decent shot of it...
yeah, I've seen that pic.
since he's been at Top Cow, they keep teasing more Pitt.
Nice art - who's the artist?
Simone Bianchi... he did the
Seven Soldiers: Shining Knight mini with Grant Morrison before signing on with Marvel to do the next run of
Astonishing X-Men.
His style looks familiar. If he's taking over Astonishing, where is Cassiday going? Any idea?
I haven't heard, harl. Anybody else know?

A new Joker GN coming up this year by Lee Bermejo (Hellraiser covers):
That makes sense. They need to put out something that corresponds with the upcoming movie. And since I believe Bermejo was somewhat involved in the design of the movie Joker...
...it would only be smart to have him do the book.
I will pretty much pick this one up. My only hesitation comes from the fact Azz is writing. I don't rate him very highly...
Well, I actually just read Ush's thread about the GN, and found out I was incorrect about him designing Ledger's Joker. However, the coincidence is interesting...
Same gal that did the fan-art x-mas greeting:
Well, this is actually all Photoshop painting... which is why it's a bit wonky. Still had to post it though, for the simple reason that it was long(ish) to do... Yes, I'm self indulgent like that.
Sketchbook page! Not quite okay with Joker's hand in the top pic, but oh well. My fav is actually the one in the lower right of the sheet - just a sketchie, but I was giggling by myself while I was drawing it XD It's the Joker and Harley in Arkahm - if it isn't clear, there's the glass wall between them, and he's shuffling cards.
And this one is loosely based on themadpuppy's fic

Total aside, but when the fuck did Barda die? In one of the more recent BoPs the Blackhawk blondie was going on about her funeral. Seriously, when did this happen? And how?
WHOA! Like, Barbara Gordon?!
uh... that would be Big Barda from the new gods uschi...
the tall chick in the blue and gold standing next to GA-Green Arrow (this time only harls)
oh BARda. Misread. Who the fuck is Big Barda?
She IS big! Interestingly enough, someone in real life mentioned going to GA and I was confused on how they would go to the GOlden Age and they said "Georgia."
I laughed. They said, "Golden Age?"
I laughed more.

Judge Parker is one of those boring soap opera strips that litter the comics pages of America.

Oh yeah, love me some Texeria!
As far as I know, he's pretty much known for his Ghost Rider work (the 90's I believe). Which also lead to a short little Wolverine stint (of which I collected every issue). I love his work, and kind of wonder why he doesn't do more in the comics field. Maybe like Travis Charest he does commercial work, as the comics field isn't known for making people rich. I don't know...
His website indicates he's still working in comic books but he does a lot of magazine and paperback illustrations too.

he's pretty steady worked in comics since the 80's (Hex, Psi-Force) before hitting big with his first GR run. Punisher War Journal, Wolverine, Sabretooth, Union, and a lot of other stuff I can't remember before coming back to GR. he's now on Moon Knight.
but his work fits GR like a glove (leather, spiked natch)
Personally I thought Texeira was one of the worst artists from GR's 90's series. But his work on the current series has been MUCH better.

I'm not exactly an art fan and my GR collection is packed away but I'm pretty sure Texeria was on till the end of #24. Andy Kubert is my favorite GR artist. And Snowblind appeared 4 or 5 times (he returned in issue 21 and 23-24. He also was brought back by Hellgate towards the end of the series).

Andy Kubert? really? (he did come before Garney, didn't he?) I mean I liked Adam's stuff on SOV (and still think it's his best work) but Andy? but then I've never liked Andy's stuff. Papa Joe still kicks both their asses.
I've pretty much completely forgotten Snowblind other than that first appearance. he was pretty one note.

I'm still trying to place him. He was either issues 25-30 or later in the series when Mackie left which was issue 69. But it could have been Adam. One of the Kuberts.
Snow Blind was an intresting rogue for GR. A nice street level bad guy to get away from the Supernatural. Which is imporant for a character like GR who tends to get contained by genre.

Not having seen Borat, is the Mickey Mouse thing part of the movie?
Thanks. I was aware the character had an obsession with Pam Anderson and hating Jews but this was the first indication that Mickey might have had something to do with the movie which, to be candid, would have surprised me if Disney let that happen.
I think it's there because he is Bo"rat"man.
But Mickey isn't a rat, he's a mouse. If that was the case, shouldn't his chest logo be a

Oh, man. That's funny as hell. Thanks for the great laugh.
Least I'm not the only one who thought that...
Haha. That was worth it. Here's the explanation:
Newsarama is proud to show Alex Ross’ latest work – the cover to the upcoming Age of TV Heroes book by George Khoury and Jason Hofius, due in November from Two Morrows Publishing.
The subject of the book is pretty obvious, given the title, and the lineup – George Reeves, Superman; Adam West, Batman; Lynda Carter, Wonder Woman and Jackson Bostwick, Captain Marvel.
From Newsarama btw
Ugh. That's poor composition. There needs to be something in the lower left.
Agreed, I hate blank backgrounds. But it's a promo piece for Busiek and Bagley's Trinity weekly. Hopefully it's not final.
Ugh. That's poor composition. There needs to be something in the lower left.
One way they could have fixed that is by drawing Wonder Woman nakkid with her legs spread wide. She should be semi-shaved and a little moist as well. With a piercing on the clit.

Seeing as all the others are from the 70s (West also played Batman in the 70s and voiced the cartoons), wouldnt Christoper Reeve have made more sense?
Adam West rawks!

It was for a book about superheroes in TV shows, not movies. George was the TV Superman.
She's blowing Batman. Can't you see the smirk on West's face?

Adam West was-and is-da man.
Did anyone ever read his autobiography? During the show's run, he and Frank Gorshin used to put on their costumes, head up to the Playboy mansion and get their pick of the playmates.
Burt Ward pretty much said the same thing in his. Weird that West published that since Ward's book apparently had them at odds for a few years due to him including that very subject.

According to DC Nation, Catwoman almost wasn't in this image per Didio's request (demand?). Adam Hughes put it in there anyway, in a way so it could be photoshopped out. Didio liked it so she stayed, defiantly.
Sometimes your boss is wrong. Yup, as amazing as it sounds, Dan DiDio, architect of today's DC Universe, the man who gets up in front of a million fans at conventions across the globe, my boss, was wrong.
Here's the back story: I had asked artist extraordinaire Adam Hughes to do the illustration for a new poster, one that would showcase DC's rather formidable female heroes. Although Adam is a super talent and can draw pretty much anything, he's known as the King of Curves, the Sultan of Sex, the Guru of Gals. Simply put, he draws the best darn women in comics history. The poster was to show DC's top ten Superheroines dressed not in their familiar spandex costumes, but rather in white evening gowns. "The REAL Power of the DC Universe." Good, classy concept for a poster, huh?
I e-mail Adam the list of gals Dan wants on the poster and he immediately calls me on the phone. The list spotlights our top female characters, especially those that have new books coming out soon or are featured in major upcoming DC storylines. Adam brings up an odd omission to the list: "Um, you forgot Catwoman." No, I say, Dan hadn't actually forgotten Selina; he just felt since her monthly series was ending in a few months, maybe we should give her a rest and let her sit this one out. Adam and I agreed that the seminal DC badgirl just HAD TO be included in the shot otherwise something, or someone, would so obviously be missing. I beg and plead and try to bribe Dan, but no, he doesn't feel the public wants to see her for a while.
Adam, who has drawn the last few years' worth of Catwoman covers, and who has cultivated a great affection for the character, mumbles and grumbles and tells me how silly and just plain wrong-minded we are. He says he'll draw the poster image, but he's doing so under protest.
Over the course of the next month, I try to get Dan to bend on his "no Catwoman" decision, but to no avail. He stands firm.
When Adam sends in the finished illustration, all ten gals have been lovingly rendered, making the poster image an absolute wonder to behold. But there in the corner stands an eleventh character, dressed in black, the defiant Selina Kyle. Adam included a note with the artwork saying that he just couldn't help himself, so he added Catwoman off to the side, just in case we changed our minds at the last minute. If not, she could be easily Photoshopped out of the image. At that exact moment, Dan walks into my office, looks at the artwork and says, "Wow, Adam did a great job. I'm glad he included Catwoman, because I was having second thoughts about her not being in the group."
It's never wise to strangle your boss, but it's OK to think about it from time to time.

this just in: DiDio is a tool!
the fans have pretty much been all over Didio's case about canceling Catwoman at the DC con panels all year long, so he knows they want Catwoman.
Steve Rude! that was a great book. nicely written by Dave Gibbons, too.
A hardcover of it was just released.
I still have the original editions. what they were calling "prestige format" in 1990. I think Rude signed one of them. good stuff.

why was she not supposed to be included? and what's this about Catwoman being cancelled? seriously, this thread is the first that I am hearing about this.
Look at my next post after that one. Oh and because Didio is an idiot.

correct in many jurisdictions to drop the 'junior' from his name.
No, they actually did name him Mongul Jr. That's his middle name. His full name is Mongul Jr. MacGregor, formerly Mongul Jr. MacGregor Jr. when his father was alive.
If you start wearing bright jewelry I'll beat you up. Unless you happen to be a girl at the time, then it's fine.
Or a gay, that's fine too. But no straight crossdressing.

You can take the man from the politics but you can't take the politics from the man....
Jeremy can take cocks from a man.
He was a bullfrog

TINY TOONS
I LOVE THAT SHOW
THEN WHY DONT YOU MARRY IT?
Brainiac's brother looks pissed!
I was thinking ol' Eddie looked more like Deathlok.
Oh, what the fuck?
Why is Batman writing a letter to himself and signing it from the Kents?
I'd like to see an ongoing series of "Goddamn Indians Took the Pussy".
it makes a great desktop background
Who is the guy with the "6" on his jacket?
Who is the guy with the "6" on his jacket?
Patrick McGoohan from the Prisoner.
Steve Rude! that was a great book. nicely written by Dave Gibbons, too.
finally picked this up. pretty damn good.
Blind Lobster Batman was the best Batman evar!
Looks like Smith from the Blok Party video for "Mercury".
Bit creepy really.
Blind Lobster Batman ....
Coming soon, in a 12-part miniseries by Morrison and Quitely: All Star Blind Lobster Batman!
Iron Man is stealing Wolverine's wallet!
Black Bolt made me laugh, as did Apollo.
Iron Man is stealing Wolverine's wallet!
Reed Richards looks vaguely like Bill Gates.

I don't know what is happening here except that something just gave Batman a pearl necklace.
I believe this could have been the trigger for Wednesday's paranoia.
Superman transformed him with a machine?
not just any machine, a black machine.
I'm amused at the first panel. It seems that black people have their own type of clothes. I have learned so much about black people just from that one page. I must download this issue.
(I'm going to procure it illegally, just like a black person would)
Shit.
I'm really growing sour these days on the DCU.
Word!
But I love Mauro Cascioli's work.
And people think that the Adam West TV show wasn't true to the character.
for rex:
Holy shit! I had this poster growing up!
Wow, nostalgic overdose...
Geez...I had so many of those freakin toys. Good memories
You're a little too excited over that, rex...
Who did Screeech (the evil bird) come with?
Oh. Then the cousin I stole Screeech from was gay.
was it gayer to own evil lyn or non-heman prince adam?
Why is Zodiac on the bad guy side? I never could figure that out. He was the neutral party in the whole thing.
And fucking Orko....
in pink tights with a purple vest
was it gayer to own evil lyn or non-heman prince adam?
Dude, Prince Adam's vest was made of actual cloth! That was pretty special back in the day. And, you know, why are there three He-Men (He-Man, Battle Armor, and Adam), but only one Skeletor? Rip-off!
Was Orko sold on his own? I always wondered that. I'm not sure if I stole Orko too, but I remember contemplating it.
When I was in kindergarten there was a kid a who had Battle Cat and brought it to the classroom every day, even though they made us leave our toys in a shelf by a window for the entire day. At mid-day I used to refuse to eat fruits just to get sent to sit by the window so I could admire that beautiful beast.
I traded an old Beast-Man for a brand new Man-e-Faces with a kid in Junior High. I totally ripped that kid off. And, let's face it, Ram-Man was the most awesome of all...
I got the Battle Damage He-Man and Skeletor packs that had Battle Cat and Panthor as well for my sixth birthday from my aunt. Panthor's fur would get rubbed off revealing the black plastic underneath. After a couple of years, he looked like he had a terrible case of mange.
was it gayer to own evil lyn or non-heman prince adam?
Dude, Prince Adam's vest was made of actual cloth! That was pretty special back in the day. And, you know, why are there three He-Men (He-Man, Battle Armor, and Adam), but only one Skeletor? Rip-off!
there were several skelators including battle armor skelator.
OH MY GOB. What the hell happened to Skeletor?!
And yeah, I meant on the poster, not the figures. I had Battle-Damage/Armor Skeletor....
And by "had" I, of course, mean anal...
Crap. Don't tell me that they're letting Singer direct ANOTHER Superman movie?
with good grief comes good responsibility.
I have the giant sized issue where he fights his archnemesis the kite eating tree.
That and the "It's the Green Goblin, Charlie Brown" annual.
I actually find that picture (and a lot of the Mark Trail art) almost poetic in its badness, kind of like a Lichtenstein.
It's the Deathstroke from Earth 86. he has two eyes but only one nut. They just call him ol' one nut no one is afraid of him.
Something about this screams "John Travolta: Saturday Night Fever"
That black and white picture up there scared the pants off me.
Are you sure you didn't just forget to put them on again?
COCK-BLOCKED!
I'm totally gonna feel retarded if these all end up getting blocked.
anyway
SUPERMAN = GAY
This is a perfect example of how DC is unwilling to make Superman into a viable character. Making him asexual? How very realistic! That's really gonna grab the crowd, DC! Way to go!

Listen, you. I have to be up at 5am to play golf tomorrow, so I don't have the time to give you the response you so richly deserve. So make one up for yourself. It should:
1) Be scathing and/or caustic
2) Hurt your feelings and/or make you cry
3) Involve the following things:
a ) Me
b ) Your wife
c ) Some use of the word "asexual," either the proper use of it or a play on the word
d ) The Boston Red Sox, if you can manage it
I look forward to you hurting your own feelings on my behalf...
I had asexual encounter with your wife!

How's that asexual? More likely he doesn't want to piss off his wife. He's Superman, not Howard Stern circa 1994.

It's coming out July 29th, if anyone's interested, and it'll be the last Gargoyles book for awhile, not counting the Bad Guys TPB which comes out (allegedly) a week later.
Dude. i screw my own gender, and *I'm* not THAT gay.
Dude. i screw my own gender, and *I'm* not THAT gay.
Hey, now, Gargoyles was an awesome show! It was the most non-Disney thing that Disney animation ever produced. How incredible was it?
It's one of the few things that rex and I can talk about civilly....
How long have you been holding onto that?
You can't spell Gargoyles without G-A-Y!
You can't spell snarf without G-A-Y!
Not content with playing only Tony Stark, Robert Downey Jr signs up to play Stan Lee also.
The Stan Lee cameo in the new Iron Man movie will be played by Robert Downey Jr
John Byrne's pitch for JLA canned when DC informs him "we don't own Doctor Doom. . ."
Just look at Batman. You know he's about to unleash some shit on Doom, either via "prep time" or Bat-Doom Repellent.
No, I won't "just look at Batman." You homo.
Doom's about to give Wonder Woman his 'Doomsday Weapon'. Probably in the mouth first.
Is Superman crying..................again?
P.S. I AdBlocked that Byrne pic because Mxy doesn't know how to resize fucking pictures..........
Mxy's obsession with not resizing pictures is tearing the boards apart!
...I bet if Pro resized the pic it will have transparencies and shadow effects when done.
P.S. I AdBlocked that Byrne pic because Mxy doesn't know how to resize fucking pictures..........
I thought Photobucket would resize it automatically (because it's done it in the past without me asking), but it didn't, so eh.
Pro isnt man enough to handle the big pics.....

I forgive you, sister. See you at church...
Man, I gotta get me some shirts like the ones worn by those beloved Beatles clones.
-Snarf
Batman wouldn't care. They're all hippies.
I felt a connection with this beloved character after reading this lovely panel.
That has been an extremely creative string of posts, guys.
this is why snarf is a failure as a writer, the topic is pictures and he posts video. fucking dumbass.
But the videos contain images.
-Snarf
But they are still videos, hence the fact you had to use the [youtube] link not [img] link, you fucking retard.
-Everyone in the world, ever!
And just for the record, how is here're any shorter than typing the A?
I'm sure hitting a spacebar isnt exactly time consuming!
For fuck's sake, Snarf. Hit the fucking spacebar.
Yeah Snarf, what's your problem? The space bar not married or something?
Yeah Snarf, what's your problem? The space bar not married or something?
Is that a Snarfbot?
I had no idea any still existed!
Cool. I knew Dr. Weird existed before being included in
Big Bang Comics, but this is the first time I've seen him on a pre-90's cover.
$3.50 for a pre 90s comic?
Are you fucking mental?
That book was published in 2000, you fucking twat!
In Snarf's defense, he is stupid.
Snarf......I'm speechless. But not really. One of three things is happening here, and the answer will cement who you are one way or another.
- 1) You knew that it was published in modern times, and simply said that to play the dumbass role.
2) You knew that it was published in modern times, and simply said that to play the dumbass role because you are systematically trying to force Nowhereman into having a literal stroke.
3) You are, in the most extreme definition of the word, quite simply ignorant.
Awkward nerd or tragic tool? Decide...
See when I posted it, I had no idea what year it was from, but going on the cover price I assumed it was something fairly recent.
Of course, once muppet face made his comment, it was a simple thing to use "the internet" to look up the books details.
God forbid Snarf actually do something that involves a small amount of work on his part.
"Muppet Face???"

Well maybe you should look at simple things like the price that was on the cover, before making such an assumption then, you moron.
Who mentioned value?
The price is decided by the comic book company, the "value" would be decided by the "market" once it becomes a back issue.
Either way, it would still be price marked the same way as comic shops dont tend to have a machine that changes the printed price on the cover, you fucking idiot.
You once again fucked up, and are now trying to blow it off with your usual pathetic excuses.

Proof that Jack Kirby was ahead of his time: he did this joke 18 years in advance.
He even predicted that Marvel would buy Marvelman!
and then he was violently raped by WB!

where's superman's other hand...?
rubbing little hulk's head
Superman read the issue where Bruce Banner goes to the YMCA....
And then Superman said, "Shut the fuck up, Snarf."
then he cried...
(snarf this time. not superman)
Followed by Hulk taking a giant, green, gamma irradiated shit on Snarf.
that joke is over snarfs head, he has no idea Hulk was gamma irradiated.
He is The Doctor.
Pro just shit his pants.
Cameron Stewart (Seaguy) is doing an arc after Phillip Tan.

that looks like a job for Snarf.
are you readin this, black mustache? setup, punchline, laughter. comedy.
Don't worry, you can count on Snarf.
what's that last pic, Jefferton?
thats not a video, dumbass.
How can the first issue be the final one too? If it's just a one shot it's not necessary to call it a final issue.
That cover has ruined my day.
it's an utter shit of a post. first the alt is to lazy to login under a more appropriate alt. then as you point out its a fucking useless cover. you can always count on a useless alt to fuck things up.

Didn't really like that one. Thought the rest of their redesigns were badass, though.
I actually saw a documentary on the people who dress like heroes in front of the Chinese theater for tourists. That dude was one of him, and he was fucking crazy. He kept talking about how he used to be a mob hitman in Texas before moving to LA and that his wife had been killed so he got revenge. He was saying it to a therapist who pointed out, "You realize that you just confessed to a crime on camera, right?"
He has a booster seat to see over the steering wheel.
well, you could play with your posse.
even dead, batman'll
fuck you up
love deodato's art!

I could.
Why is Green Arrow strolling through one of those miniature cityscapes from a Godzilla movie set?
Other than the fact that the model probably had them in the pic Land swiped from, why would She Hulk have pistols?
cuz she's a bad-ass!! No I have no idea...I just dug the pic.
Are those all the people that Superman's raped?
You say raped, he says caped.
what the fuck is the deal with that S shield?
Matias Zeballos needs to be punched in the dick.
The yellow sun gives him the power to do that.
G-man. The Carrot Top of message boards.
I love Maguire's work, but why does he have Black Canary trying to drop a deuce in the middle of things?
She's a party pooper.
I never noticed King Snarf appeared as an old man in that Ambush Bug comic.
As if he will live that long.

his superpower is that he's dead. you can tell he's Deadman by the big D on his chest.
Superman/Batman #75 i think
Superman is an attention whore.
Everyone looks mildly pleased with him.
"Hmmm....yes...the chains-thing. Right. Got it. Cool. I guess..."
What is funnier is that it looks like Curt Swan drew the head again.... Editorial would never accept Kirby's Superman heads...until later in the 70's.
That's like Al Plastino or something.
Everyone looks mildly pleased with him.
"Hmmm....yes...the chains-thing. Right. Got it. Cool. I guess..."
I haven't seen this one before. It looks to be inked by Mike Royer, and the Suprman's head is inked by Murphy Anderson. Which was typical of Kirby's JIMMY OLSEN 133-148 run, although this looks more late 70's/early 80's era Kirby art, although I guess it must have been done at DC's specification during the 1970-1972 period, or Anderson would not have inked the Superman head.
It looks like a foldout poster, wonder where it's from. Maybe a toy giveaway?
There were a lot of nice Kirby Superman covers and collaborations with Neal Adams on the covers of Kirby's JIMMY OLSEN run, which I posted in the "Jack Kirby, a tribute to the King" topic.
That's like Al Plastino or something.

Yep, Murphy Andersonthis looks more late 70's/early 80's era Kirby art, although I guess it must. have been done at DC's specification during the 1970-1972 period, or Anderson would not have inked the Superman head.

It was from a Superman card/puzzle game that came out in the early to mid-seventies. My younger brother had it as a kid. More pictures from the card game, including what looks like Superman fighting Marvel's Devil Dinosaur and the Toad Men are available
here
Plastino, Anderson, even Swan... they're all shit compared to Wayne Boring.

here Thanks for the link. One of the pages...
http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3209/2675885811_82e615d4d7_z.jpg...dates it as 1971(in the lower right).
Although if there wasn't a date, it's listed as copyright National Periodical Publications, which still would place it before 1977, when Jeanette Kahn changed the company name to DC Comics.
Not the best Kirby art I've seen, but still some nice "lost" work, and representative of the period, how the Kirby/Royer and Kirby/Anderson linework looked at the time. Kirby's JIMMY OLSEN run is one of my favorite series. A rare look at Kirby doing a run on a Superman title, with a revival of the Newsboy Legion, an army of guest characters, including Kirby's Fourth World, a lot of bizarre and humorous elements, and a continuity with the Swan/Anderson SUPERMAN and ACTION titles through the Anderson-inked heads, which I liked despite that Kirby himself didn't.
To me it's a run that shows how fun and action-packed a superhero title can be.
A comparable title is the Levitz Giffen LEGION run (issues 285-306) from 1982-1983, that I felt Levitz and Giffen were trying to capture the feel of kirby's JIMMY OLSEN.
Plastino, Anderson, even Swan... they're all shit compared to Wayne Boring.
I like many Boring stories too.
But the best Superman for me is the Swan/Anderson team, beginning in 1970. My favorite from that run are ACTION 399 and SUPERMAN 233, although there are many great issues, from about 1970-1974, and more scattered Swanderson collaborations after, concluding with the Alan Moore "Whatever happened to the man of Tomorrow" story by Alan Moore in 1985.
That's like Al Plastino or something.
Al Plastino inked the Kirby heads on JIMMY OLSEN 133-134.
And also FOREVER PEOPLE 1.
Murphy Anderson inked 135-139, 141-145, and 148. (Colletta inks, Anderson inks only on Superman and Jimmy Olsen characters)
Issues 146-147 were inked completely by Mike Royer.
I like many Boring stories too.
Explains why you post like you do.
PS: Jack Kirby was shit when he was alive, and he is still shit now he is dead.
Only thing he drew that was any good was his last breath.
WTF is in that guy's mouth.....?
now we know why WB looooves the Kirby!

The Walt Simonson-Thor Omnibus. Fuck yeah!
I have a feeling that pic will offend people.
The story line of that comic might be worse.
I don't find the cover offensive in the PC sense. I just find it offensive in the sense that the artist was probably trying too hard to be deep and symbolic, but what he achieved was something that's plain ugly.

Wasn't Hughes supposed to be drawing an AS Wonder Woman mini series? Whatever happened to that?
That would be cool.
Maybe someday
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/All-Star_DC_Comics There were several other titles announced that would have added to the All-Star lineup but due to the end of the imprint and lack of further announcements, it is unlikely they will ever see publication.
All-Star Wonder Woman was confirmed at the San Diego Comic Con 2006,[7] with Adam Hughes announced as writer and artist. Hughes intended to retell the character's origin story, and described his approach to the series as an "iconic interpretation" of the character,[8] but explained at the 2010 San Diego Comic-Con International that that project was "in the freezer" for the time being, due to the difficulty involved in both writing and illustrating himself.[9] As of October 2010, a page on his website indicates that after the current Catwoman series ends with issue #82, Hughes will cease his DC cover work, and will focus on producing the six-issue All-Star Wonder Woman series.
Frakking. Awesome.

I think you're confusing Jim Jackson with Beardguy.
No, he clearly isn't. Jim Jackson was a married guy who lived a 'straight' lifestyle and later came out of the closet. Beardguy was a homosexual man and, by all accounts, was never in the closet. The joke is clearly predicated on a comparison to Jim Jackson.
I didn't know that about Jim. When I joined the boards, he was already gay.
I think he was already gay by the time he joined the boards. However, he would also talk openly about having had a wife and kids and then coming out at some point.
It's Lothar's turn to come out, then.
Not like it's needed. Lothar's closet is transparent.

Batman feels uneasy around black people.
I'll take it by his not being in the picture and the mixed bag of expressions on the faces of the movie goers (disgust, anger, flippancy, boredom, heckle-ish-ness...everything but a sincere look of joy) that they're watching Green Lantern.
I especially love the smug "Damn, this movie is so much better when you're blind." look on Daredevil's face.
Reed's got that shit eating grin while Sue's got the look of a captive sex slave.

There's a thin line between "tribute" and plagiarism.
Don't be a dick. Those are awesome cover recreations.
Didn't mean to imply otherwise. I've posted some myself by Byrne, Simonson and the like. Arthur Adams' X-MEN 175 one has a creative new twist beyond simply recreating the original.
I like the nostalgia of tributes like this. But at times tributes are done to death, and can be uncreative. It's nice when an artist can add some subtle new twists.
In posting them side-by-side with the originals, I see that Adams repositioned
figures and added elements in the other two covers as well.
Cyclops is trying to shoot Dark Pheonix's vagina. It's her weak point.

Wolverine looks really hot in that cover.
Yeah, I wondered about that. It's a series where Wolverine visits the Savage Land.
So I guess they chose to focus a variant cover on his sexy female loin-cloth-wearing scantily clad co-star.
In a 98% male-dominated readership (most of whom probably aren't getting laid) you can't really go wrong with a Shanna cover by Manara.
But it does raise some initial confusion about the book's title.
Here's a larger text-free version that you can wank to --uh, I mean, fully enjoy.

Too bad the dinosaur wasn't posed sexily in a loin-cloth.

I guess the artist thinks Hamilton has a Batman chin.
If I were Andrew Jackson I'd be insulted!
The same artist used
North Korean currency to draw an Injustice League!

Now that's art!
re-creation of a page from JIMMY OLSEN 143:
The original was by Kirby/Colletta.
Apparently it was one that Royer would have liked to ink, and in this version he got to. Royer inked 146-147
of Kirby's OLSEN run. The rest were inked by Vince Colletta (with heads inked for continuity's sake mostly
inked by Murphy Anderson).
The Governor Christie version of Nightwing.
A Byrne poster page of all the Marvel characters, from the 1976-1978 period. Probably from a Marvel Calendar.
Another Marvel calandar page.
http://static.flickr.com/4113/4845509554_9be28926a0_b.jpgThis is a captionless version of the SUPERMAN 252 cover by Adams.
The issue itself is a great collection of golden age reprints by Lou Fine, Sheldon Moldoff and others.
An artist jam heroes poster with names spanning from the 40's to the 80's, that must be priceless in its original form.
Who is that on top row far left? Looks like he doesn't like Plastic mans arm on him.
With Superman's reflexes and super-speed, would that cone ever really hit the ground?
More likely it's a ploy to duel tongues with Wonder Woman.
From SUPERMAN ANNUAL 11 (1985) by Moore and Gibbons.
Who is that on top row far left? Looks like he doesn't like Plastic mans arm on him.
Honestly, I'm not 100% sure. I was thinking either Tommy Tomorrow, or Rip Hunter, Time Master.
I was thinking it was Element Lad from the LSH. Hard to tell.
Is Darksied the only bad guy there? I'm not sure if Demon,Spectre and the Blackhawks are good guys ish.
Well, the others might be hunted and misunderstood (like Spider-man) but are still heroes.
I was wracking my brain trying to figure out all the characters in that page, and who drew them.
Jim Mooney was the first regular artist on Tommy Tomorrow, back in the 1950's, so that makes me
think the character in question is Tommy Tomorrow.
What I like about this page is that the characters are mostly either drawn by their creators or by artists
of definitive runs, or quite a few by the artists who were doing a then-current new series with the
character (like Steve Rude
on Mister Miracle, or Matt Wagner on the Demon).
I'd guess this was drawn in 1987-1988.
********************************
UPDATE: I found this link, that gives the full breakdown of artists for this poster...
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Dcu.jpgAlthough it was fun to guess who did what, it's nice to know for sure. Apparently this poster was printed as a 4-page fold-out 3 pages, and 1-page character key) in a HISTORY OF THE DC UNIVERSE hardcover that I've never seen or heard of (till now). And it began (as stated earlier) as a 3rd-floor wall mural in DC's New York City office in the elevator lobby (from 1988 until DC moved its offices to L.A. in 2014). -- Dec 19, 2014
Pictured characters, from left to right, with the artist(s) following the character:
Top Row:
Tommy Tomorrow by Jim Mooney; Phantom Stranger by Jim Aparo; Swamp Thing by Steve Bissette & John Totleben; The Question by Denys Cowan; White Witch by P. Craig Russell; Green Lantern (Alan Scott) by Mart Nodell; Green Lantern (Guy Gardner) by Joe Staton; Enemy Ace by Dave Stevens; Plastic Man by Bill Sienkiewicz; Darkseid by Jack Kirby & Mike Royer; Ragman by Keith Giffen; The Ray by Bret Blevins & Al Williamson; The Spectre by Michael Kaluta; Silverblade by Gene Colan; Robotman by Steve Lightle; Lady Blackhawk by Brian Bolland; Black Condor by Michael T. Gilbert; and OMAC by Jim Starlin
Middle Row:
Hawkman by Joe Kubert; Martian Manhunter by Art Adams; Manhunter by Walt Simonson; Aquaman by Paul Norris; The Warlord by Mike Grell; Power Girl by Mary Wilshire; Sergeant Rock by Andy Kubert; Green Lantern (Hal Jordan) by Gil Kane; Captain Marvel by Kurt Schaffenberger; Batman by Bob Kane; Superman by Curt Swan; Wonder Woman by George Pérez; Blackhawk by Howard Chaykin; Arion by Jan Duursema; The Flash (Barry Allen) by Carmine Infantino; Zatara by Jim Steranko; Zatanna by Gray Morrow; Deadman by Neal Adams; Adam Strange by Murphy Anderson; and Rorschach by Dave Gibbons
Bottom Row:
Hourman by Gilbert Hernandez; Vigilante by Dan Spiegle; Tomahawk by Frank Thorne; Metamorpho by Ramona Fradon; The Demon by Matt Wagner; Amethyst, Princess of Gem World by Ernie Colon; Robin by Bob Kane; Wildcat by Irwin Hasen; Cain by Joe Orlando; Chop-Chop by Dave Stevens; Captain Atom by Pat Broderick; The Flash (Jay Garrick) by Jaime Hernandez; Mister Miracle by Steve Rude; Judomaster by Frank McLaughlin; and Sarge Steel by Dick Giordano
Some of these drive me nuts, and I left some signature names out of my list.
Kaluta's name is there, but nothing there looks like him to me. Maybe the White Queen, inked by Russell?
Or Bill Sienkeiwicz. Maybe Plastic Man? Or inking Cowan on The Question?
And several signatures I can't read. What's the point of signing something if no one can read it?
Uh... yeah.
An artist jam heroes poster with names spanning from the 40's to the 80's, that must be priceless in its original form.
it's not a poster. it's a wall in the old DC offices.
I wish I'd seen it. You took a tour of the old DC offices?
It still looks like a printed version. It looks like a paper-fold going through the Demon, Captain Marvel and Guy Gardner.
With a lesser crease through Amethyst to the right of them.
And another paper-fold through Blackhawk and surrounding characters on the other side.

No, I've never been. But that image has been passed around quite a lot. Somewhere there's even a full listing of the artists.
I just like the fact that even in that day and age someone went "I must draw a racist Japanese caricature."
Maybe SOM modelled for it though.
I just like the fact that even in that day and age someone went "I must draw a racist Japanese caricature."
Hey hey hey, let's be fair... that's a racist Chinese caricature. That makes it okay
On another note, I wonder who Bob Kane got to ghost the Batman and Robin artwork for him. It must've been hard sneaking somebody in to draw on the wall in the middle of the night.
Sheldon Moldoff was the main ghost artist for Bob Kane. It would be fun if Moldoff came in to draw it wearing
a Batman costume, entering through a 20th floor window in the dark of night!
Pardon my naïve optimism, but I like to believe that Bob Kane might have actually drawn it. Kane in that era was
doing painted reproductions of old covers that were selling for upwards of $10,000 each. At that price,
it might be worth it to actually do the work himself.
I might be wrong but I seem to recall reading that Kane even had a ghost artist doing his painted reproductions
his dark powers allow him to summon spirits from beyond the veil
These days Kane is a ghost artist himself.
He probably has ghost ghost artists.
painting pictures of artists painting pictures!
And on a segue from ghost work...
Neal Adams in his prime, from STRANGE ADVENTURES 214 (Oct 1968).
Adams' Deadman work is still arguably his best and most inventive work.
More beautiful but obscure Neal Adams calendar pages.
Adams had another round as DC cover artist in 1977-1978.
And did calendars for 1976, 1977 and 1978.
Intro page by AdamsA Neal Adams introductory splash page from VAMPIRELLA 44.
Love the Spock flash drive!
OLd comic artwork sucks.Good comic art didn't come along til sometime after Crisis and Dark Knight Returns.
To each their own, but the stuff that resonates the most for me was published between about 1970-1985.
Particularly the work of Adams, Wrightson, Kaluta, Windsor-Smith, Suydam, Russell, Simonson, Chaykin, Golden,
Rogers, Starlin, Grell, Bolton, Macklin, Brunner, Byrne, Perez, Day, early Sienkiewicz, pre-1984 Giffen, Nino,
Redondo, Alcala, (the latter 3 especially in DC's mystery titles and Marvel's Conan books), Jodloman,
Corben, Williamson, Conrad, Kubert, Kirby, Ditko, Gil Kane, Infantino, Steranko, Gulacy, Hampton, early
Morrow, Glanzman, McCann, Raboy, Fine, EC-era Wood, Golden-Age Moldoff, and many other lesser-known talents.
Neal Adams in particular, as my last few posts demonstrate, has work that holds up decades later, even to modern
standards. I wish I'd had the good sense to buy 50 or 100 of their original pages 30 years ago. I could sell
them and buy several houses with them now.
This is a photo of the same kind of coin a girlfriend gave me many years ago.
It's a chocolate coin, made to be a replica of a 100 Peso gold coin of Argentina.
But instead of 100 pesos, it says "100 Besos" or 100 kisses!
What a fun gift, from one of the most beautiful women I ever dated.
Yeah, the
whole set of those were pretty cool.
I like how the artist did a Justice League on U.S. currency, and then an Injustice League on North Korean bills!
DEATH SENTENCE 1, variant cover (Forbidden Planet exclusive cover).
Love the girl on the john in her bunny slippers, panties around her ankles!
A DAREDEVIL glow-in-the-dark cover.
The only other glow in the dark cover I've seen, outside of three
Kelley Jones BATMAN issues(530-532), co-starring Deadman. An effect that I thought perfectly blended with a ghost character!
Nice.
That's an Adam West-ish looking Batman. Although the Bat-hound possibly pushes the timeline back to maybe the Jack Schiff pre-Infantino (i.e., pre-1964) period.
In the biographical book THE AMAZING WORLD OF CARMINE INFANTINO, Infantino says when he was given the books in 1964, BATMAN and DETECTIVE were on the verge of cancellation, sales were so low. And his "new look" was a trial, where if sales didn't improve in 6 months, they'd have cancelled them!
Hard to believe, with the billion-dollar franchise Batman is today.
Sales rose with Infantino's run on the series, and then skyrocketed with the Batman TV series.
I always think of the Neal Adams period (1968-1974, he took over after another slump in sales) as the high point of BATMAN and DETECTIVE. But sales from the 1970-1974 period no doubt pale, relative to the 1966-1968 period of the Adam West series.
I'd say the artist pretty clearly mashed up West Batman with Schiff Batman
I found this double-page Steranko spread
in my internet travels, but it was not sourced.
I'd love to know where it's from.
Possibly from an issue of his MEDIASCENE magazine.
Enlarged:
page 1page 2
I thought I'd seen this art before!
I looked through AMAZING ADVENTURES 27, Nov 1974, one of the McGregor/Russell Killraven issues.
A version of the above page (cropped and small) appears on page 12 in an ad for Steranko's MEDIASCENE
magazine. The ad probably appears in all the Marvel titles for that month.
So it must have appeared in a MEDIASCENE issue prior to that date.
A nice Steranko CONSPIRACY OF THE PLANET OF THE APES painted cover.
Snuggle in there,buddy,as long as she will let you!
A DAREDEVIL glow-in-the-dark cover.
The only other glow in the dark cover I've seen, outside of three [url=]Kelley Jones BATMAN issues(530-532)[/url], co-starring Deadman. An effect that I thought perfectly blended with a ghost character!
These issues from the John Ostrander/Tom Mandrake run of "The Spectre" utilized glow-in-the-dark features very effectively.
SPECTRE third series, issues 1, 8 and 13.
Nice! Ones I haven't seen before.
I'll have to look for them next time I'm in a store.
The glow-in-the-dark covers add perfectly to the mood of ghost and mystery characters like Deadman, Batman and the Spectre.
I was just looking at my 2nd series issues a month or so ago, back when I posted my
Tom Artis topic.
That was the good Spectre series. I still remember the gumballs with the evil bugs in them.
That was the good Spectre series. I still remember the gumballs with the evil bugs in them.
Not at good as the Fleisher/Aparo run in Adventure but definitely the second best. And both were miles ahead of every other Spectre series.
you and your old people comics.
I'm waiting for Geof Johns to write anew Spectre series. That will be the best.
Holy shit! They work! I just turned out all the lights in my room and could still see them. Awesome!
I can still see them even if the monitor is right next to a black man!
you and your old people comics.
I hate to break it to you, but the Ostrander/Mandrake run is about twenty years old. It IS "old people comics."
I love this painting by MAD artist Jack Rickard, with Alfred E. Neuman doing a werewolf-like transformation into publisher Bill Gaines!
If I saw this one when it came out, the cover for MACHINE MAN 19.
Somehow I missed it the first time around.
Nice Miller/Austin cover, dated Feb 1981.
And from the same period, here's MARVEL TEAM-UP 100 cover by Miller/Janson (reprinted with a different cover in MARVEL TEAM UP 250. And in the very nice COMPLETE FRANK MILLER SPIDERMAN hardcover.)
Another of my favorites from Miller (DAMN that frigging bicycle ad!)
That last one looks like Neal Adams to me, but is clearly signed by Simon Bisley.
Remarkably clean work for Bisley.
"Bunnylicious" by underground artist Robert Williams.
Williams often does wild, surrealist, and disturbingly violent material in recent years. I saw a lot of his original paintings in a "Lowbrow Art" exhibit at a gallery in Fort Lauderdale a few years back.
I love the idea of turning a cute little bunny rabbit into a fearsome predator that turns the tables on African safari adventurers.
I think only Wrightson's "Gentlemen of adventure" print more successfully parodies the same theme.
Since I mentioned Wrightson's Gentlemen of Adventure:
It first saw print as the cover of CREEPY 113 (Nov 1979), and later was released as a limited-edition print in 1988, sold through Bud Plant and similar outlets.
It's one of a select few that I have matted and framed on my wall.
A bit of levity for tax day, here's one of my favorite covers, from DC COMICS PRESENTS 93, May 1986.
I love the spaghetti-tangled mess of elongated characters. Plastic man, Elongated Man, Jimmy Olsen (as Elastic Kid), all fighting a villain named Malleable Man, with a daunted Superman caught in the crossfire.
Superman was worried because he might be touching someone's elongated dick accidentally.
Might be?? Look at his face! Looks like someone found another Superman weakness

I've clicked on this topic and re-read these comments a dozen times, and every time it makes me laugh.
Maybe Lex Luthor should be working on a dick-touching weapon to finally defeat Superman.
A nice Byrne page, from sometime during his FF run.
If I've seen this one before, I'd forgotten it.
Possibly a poster Marvel released back then.
G-man posted some Kirby
Superman toy licensing stuff Back around page 70 of this topic.
Here's some
more licensing stuff Kirby did.
Kind of cool to see a Kirby version of Tarzan!
"The vertigo of bliss" by Biffy Clyro.
Apparently some alternative rock band, with a cover by Milo Manara.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Vertigo_of_Bliss
"HULK TAKES BIGGEST SHIT THERE IS!"
I love this South Park version of WATCHMEN.
I ran across this blog...
http://russnicholson.blogspot.com/2013_03_01_archive.html...with some pretty nice stuff by a British artist named Russ Nicholson, who started out doing work for 70's fanzines.
The astronaut in this BORDER RUFFIAN 2 cover (1978) has a delightful quirkiness.
Another of his images, Space Marines, is crammed with detail and riveting in a completely different way. It's reminiscent of Heinlein's Starship Troopers, more representative of the book than the movie.
But he's got a Batcave full of other cool toys!
A pretty cool Golden Age style cover, from an issue of DC's Milestone line, XOMBI 18, by Howard Chaykin.
I just about ejected in my shorts looking at this Arthur Adams page:
Nice!
Really detailed work. It looks like some limited edition print. Or maybe a book cover for a collected edition. Anyone know where it's from? I think it's a special bookplate from the hardcover collection of MONKEYMAN AND O'BRIEN.
Adams sells inexpensive prints of many of the pages already shown here, on his website:
http://arthuradamsart.com/artwork-sale
Another nice cover, from NOCTURNE 4, 1974, an H.P.Lovecraft fanzine
I love the covers on many of these fanzines, that sport a remarkably sophisticated and professional look for amateur publications.
While also retaining a playfulness and humor to them.
This one reminds me of the original Outer Limits series.
Another one, SPEAKEASY 61, April 1986. With a really cool Simonson Thor frog-of-thunder cover.
One more:
COMICS UNLIMITED 52 cover, from 1982.
Cover by Grant Morrison. Did anyone even know that Grant Morrison could draw?!?
I love this
DUCKBURG TIMES 20 cover, tribute to 50 years of Mickey Mouse.
Great composition, and funny, but requires some thought and observation to put together all the elements.
https://www.mycomicshop.com/search?TID=460921
Another great cover, from
FANTASY ADVERTISER 100, March 1988:
Combining the Atom (from his SWORD OF THE ATOM era) with Fat Freddy's cat
(from Gilbert Shelton's FREAK BROTHERS.)
Cover art by Garry Leach.
CRYPT OF CTHULHU 44 cover. Reminiscent of early 70's underground art by guys like Sheridan, Schrier, Dallas, Jaxon
and Spain Rodrigues, in titles like SKULL COMICS and SLOW DEATH.
The cover is signed in the lower right, but it's hard to read.
I posted this before elsewhere, but it's so beautiful it deserves to be seen again:
Golden's "Merry Marvel Marching Confusion" 11" X 17" poster, done as a promotional giveaway for SQ Productions,
promoted by an ad in all the Marvel titles in November 1982.
SQ (at least temporarily) went out of business. I actually ordered 2 of these, and got them right before SQ went under.
I talked at the time to several people who never got theirs.
Apparently SQ went through financial restructuring and at some point in the mid-1980's went back in business,
and to my knowledge still is.
I've lost brain cells both times I actually purchased and tried to
read a Zenescope comic. But they do have some amazing good-girl-art
covers. The first here from GRIMM FAIRY TALES 66 (variant cover, by
Mike Debalfo).
And the second a cover for ZOMBIES VS. CHEERLEADERS 3 by Mike
Debalfo (for Moonstone, but same genre-material as Zenescope).
A playful late 1960's old-DC-style
"BRAVE & THE BOOBS" cover with an adult twist, from Budd Root of CAVEWOMAN fame:
Anyone interested in Budd Root's work who isn't already familiar with
it, he began CAVEWOMAN in 1994-1995 as a 6-issue series.
His art from 1994-2001 has more of an early John Byrne look to it.
The other series in order are
CAVEWOMAN: RAIN 1-8 (1996-1997)
CAVEWOMAN COLOR SPECIAL 1 (Nov 1999, only 12 pages)
After that, Budd Root's art started to change. He was hanging out
with Dave Stevens, and whether on his own or because of
Stevens' influence, his art began to evolve in a beautiful way.
And it was about the time Budd Root started improving his art that he
began CAVEWOMAN: PANGAEAN SEA. If you were to begin
reading CAVEWOMAN, I'd skip the earlier stuff and go right to this
series. At this point, 11 of 12 issues have been
released, and he's taking his sweet time producing the last one.
Once you've seen this run, then I think you can go back and enjoy the
earlier issues, and how Root evolved
up to this point.
Also showing Root at his peak are the shorter nudity-laden
CAVEWOMAN:JUNGLE TALES 1-3, and
CAVEWOMAN: BEAUTIES & BEASTS 1 and 2.
The first 6-issue 1994 series was a few years ago re-released in a
new "director's cut" type reprint series, as CAVEWOMAN: RELOADED 1-6, where Root
added about 10 pages of new scenes to each issue. I guess this is a
good starting point too. But while it starts
you at the beginning and has some nice new pages, it's kind of a
warts-and-all package that forces you to read
his cruder early work that is far below what he's doing now.
Aside from that, you have CAVEWOMAN:PREHISTORIC PIN-UPS 1-7 (or so)
that aren't stories by Root, but 32 pages each of
pin-up pages and convention sketches. I think he stopped these, and
now just does annual convention books.
The other Cavewoman books are all by other artists, and may have Bud
Root covers, but are either by Devon Massey (most of them)
or Paul Renaud (the last 5 years or so of new CAVEWOMAN titles).
And, like Mignola's farming out HELLBOY, I've mostly hated any
CAVEWOMAN titles that Root didn't write and draw himself.
The one exception was Devon Massey's first effort, in CAVEWOMAN: ONE-SHOT.
But his art got much looser and out of proportion after that.
You can probably find the cheapest price on these from the source, at

Woah !
In lurid 1950's lesbian exploitation pulp fiction, Satan wears an earring!
Another classic Neal Adams wraparound cover, from BATMAN 238 (Jan 1972).
(Also numbered as
DC 100-PAGE SUPER SPECTACULAR issue DC-8 )
I read in a Neal Adams interview that then-managing-editor Carmine Infantino
was near-orgasmic about this cover and thought it was one of Adams' best covers for DC.
It apparently scored Adams some major brownie points with Infantino.
Origami Yoda is actually pretty cool!
I just about ejected in my shorts looking at this Arthur Adams page:
Nice!
Really detailed work. It looks like some limited edition print. Or maybe a book cover for a collected edition. Anyone know where it's from?
Unusual level of precision from Adams. His work has become sloppy in recent years. This though is wonderful art.
Apparently, Adams offers inexpensive copies of this and other commission pieces, available on
his own site.
https://i.pinimg.com/564x/1d/f0/11/1df01146466ac2a2617b16e1eb25ee50.jpgThis piece by Jim Lee is pretty cool.
It's labelled "Justice Society of America by Jim Lee", but to me it looks more "CRISIS" than JSA.
This is really clever:

I don't know. Given the context of what he was taking pictures of in that scene it's kind of creepy and off putting.

I could see Marvel/Disney shutting that down. Its one thing to sell an actual sketch. Selling unlicensed prints of copyrighted characters seem to be on shakier ground.
I don't know. Given the context of what he was taking pictures of in

I think many would agree with you.
And might explain why it's selling at about one fourth of its
original retail price.
Figures from

This Wonder Woman figure is remarkably nice.

Some of my favorite Superman covers remain those by Neal Adams,
from the 60's/70's period.
Here's one of the later ones, from SUPERMAN 307.
And SUPERMAN 317
Adams had been out of comics for a few years, nice that he came back
to be a DC cover artist again in 1977. I think the last work he did
for DC was the SUPERMAN VS MUHAMMAD ALI treasury.
Which I initially resisted because of the goofy title, but when I
finally read it, was actually quite good. Over 70 original pages, the most
Adams ever did in one book!
A 70's convention drawing of Big Barda by Mike Royer.
While a solo job, it looks as if he were inking Kirby!
Possibly from the first year of their collaboration, when Royer's inks were at their cleanest.
A nice film-noir-ish sketch of Daredevil by Kevin Nowlan.
A striking and original composition, but still reminiscent
of Frank Miller's version of the character.
Reminds me a little of Mignola too
Adams had been out of comics for a few years, nice that he came back
to be a DC cover artist again in 1977.
I always thought one of DC's biggest mistakes in the 70s was not mending fences with Adams/paying him sufficently that he could have been their regular (across the line) cover artist.
He would have been a damn site better than Ernie Chan (who was great on Conan but never that good at superheroes), who was the closest thing DC had to that role back in the day.
I can see the comparison to Mignola, although that didn't occur to me
before you said it.
I don't know the reason Adams ceased doing work for DC in 1978. I
always assumed he was just making far more with Continuity associates, his own company.
I noticed Adams stopped doing work after his SUPERMAN VS MUHAMMAD ALI special, that seemed
(for a while) to be his grand finale to comics.
Years later in 1982, Adams finally produced MS MYSTIC # 1, and despite lucrative creator-owned
contracts at that point, a second issue was many years in the making.
I said back in the
Ernie Chan obituary topic that I thought Chan was the absolute worst cover artist
DC ever had (circa Aug 1975-Oct 1976), at a time they had that awful pseudo-Marvel banner
across the top of their covers as well.
The one series I really liked Chan's art was CLAW (a pseudo-Conan book) and I'm hard
pressed to name anything else I liked by him. Even on CONAN and SAVAGE SWORD I preferred
other inkers like Alcala and Dezuniga.
And I don't understand why Chan was ever chosen as a cover-artist. At that time, they had Grell,
Buckler, Ross Andru, Garcia-Lopez, Rogers, Aparo, and several other far superior artists to do the job.
Yes to all of the above.
Chan is a great Sword and sorcery artist and a shitty superhero artist.
I'm ripping on Chan quite a bit. So here's one of the books I liked
by Chan, CLAW #1 (1975). With a script by Dave Michelinie, it was
actually quite good, at least the first few issues.
As I recall,
Chan did art on the first 7 issues, then Keith Giffen
began pencilling the book. Michelinie scripted (and created) the
entire series (which was interrupted for a while by the DC Implosion).
I forgot, after the series was ended by the DC Implosion, there were
two more issues (illustrated by Romeo Tanghal) that were published in
CANCELLED COMIC CAVALCADE.
I think the covers Chan did on
BATMAN (roughly 262-283) demonstrate
what both of us disliked in Chan's work. It was especially a blow for me
when the creative team went from O'Neil/Novick/Giordano to David V.
Reed/Chan. Few series have taken such a dive in quality. BATMAN in
one issue (266 to 267) went from being my favorite book to one I
intensely hated. I especially hated Chan for being O'Neil and
Novick's replacement.
Although I didn't have as much resistance to Chan while he was inked
by Giordano in BATMAN 262-264, where his art was less of a jolt from
what I was used to. His pencils (also inked by Giordano) in
DETECTIVE 447-448 were also fairly nice and consistent with the
Novick/Giordano/Aparo runs.
Yeah, Reed was probably the worst Batman writer in history.
While the quality of David V. Reed's stories was consistently low (especially relative to O'Neil's established high standard) I have to admit
that Reed did write a few good stories.
Two I can think of offhand are
BATMAN 300 (an "imaginary" story where in the future Batman retires,
and Bruce Wayne continues his war against crime as a U.S. senator.) With art by Walt Simonson.
And a story in
DC SPECIAL SERIES 15 (BATMAN SPECTACULAR) the opening story by Reed and Mike Nasser/Rubinstein,
along with an O'Neil/Golden R'as Al Gul story, And an O'Neil/Rogers pulp-ish text story.
I also liked Reed stories in BATMAN 296 (art by Sal Almendola), and BATMAN 297 (Buckler/Colletta art).
Reed wrote most stories from Batman 267-304 (1976-1978). I read a profile of Reed once, he was a 1950's Batman writer,
who came back decades later for this 3-year stint.
Are you sure you're not remembering those stories more fondly because of the better than average art (Simonson, Nasser, Almendola, Buckler)?
After you posted your question, I re-read DC SPECIAL SERIES 15, and BATMAN 297.
While they aren't exactly Alan Moore in peak form (and what is, with rare exception, from that period?) I thought both were fun and charming
stories with some interesting twists.
DC SPECIAL 15 focused on a ghost writer who tricks Batman into investigating the murder of his author friend. Some sentimental moments
that I thought were well played. Certainly on this story, the Nasser/Rubinstein art made it infinitely more memorable.
In the BATMAN 297 story, I especially like the concluding scene, where Bruce Wayne, after first coming across as a coward during the opening
scene robbery of Bruce Wayne and a female companion in a romantic carriage ride through Central Park, in the final scene Bruce Wayne returns
the stolen items and is scoring points with the girl in a repeat of their initial romantic carriage ride. I thought it was about as witty
and well played as a story with the Mad Hatter character could have been pulled off.
As I said, Reed (a k a, David Vern) is not one of my favorite writers, but I still give him credit for telling a few enjoyable stories.
Especially relative to writers in that period (1979-1981) like O'Neil, Wein and Conway, who were doing less than their best work on titles
like BATMAN, DETECTIVE and WORLD'S FINEST.
BATMAN 300 is (at least in memory, not read recently) one of my favorite "imaginary" stories, one of the few that allows Batman to end
his career on a positive note.
(I'd love to read some that do a good job of portraying Bruce Wayne marrying Selina Kyle, retiring and having children. I don't know if it's
ever been done, or even better done well, or just suggested as something that occurred without an actual story being told of how it went down.)

The closest thing I can think of would be Alan Brennerts story about how the Earth 2 Batman married Catwoman
That was at the end of the BRAVE & THE BOLD run, with art by George Freeman?
I honestly was a bit disappointed with that one, despite Brennert being an overall very good writer. I loved his Elseworlds-ish "imaginary story"
of Batman's origin retold in DETECTIVE 500, with art by Dick Giordano.
Brennert did a number of exceptional one-shot Batman and Daredevil stories.
He also scripted several episodes of the Buck Rogers in the 25th Century TV series. Martin Pasko as well!
1966-1967-era Neal Adams (around the time he was doing work for CREEPY and EERIE, before he made it over to DC) ?
Even if it's not Neal, it's quite nice.
In a COMIC BOOK MARKETPLACE interview, Neal Adams let on that he'd wanted to leave his early/mid 1960's Ben Casey strip to pursue
magazine illustration, and when the agency lost his portfolio, Adams decided to have a go at comic books as a plan B option.
Imagine the treasures we'd never have seen, if that portfolio had not been lost!
Holy shit is Neal Adams talented!
And this is his earliest series work on Ben Casey (1962-1966),
before he made it to DC in 1967 and started doing
STRANGE ADVENTURES/Deadman, SPECTRE, BRAVE & THE BOLD and his later more developed Batman work.
More Neal Adams
Ben Casey comic strips, this batch are expanded Sunday pages.
Here's a black-and-white version of the new wraparound cover by Wrightson for DC SPECIAL SERIES in 1978 (reprinting issues 3 and 4).
Comic art doesn't get any better than that of Wrightson.
And here's a Berni Wrightson version of John Carpenter's
The Thing.
Wrightson does a nice job adding his touch to this creature.
Holy cow!
Neal Adams, from a series of covers he did for the Edgar Rice Burroughs TARZAN novels, in the late 1970's.
I think there were 24 books total in the series.
Here's a
photo of Neal Adams with Superman creators Joe Shuster and Jerry Siegel, circa 1975, in the period right before
the first Superman movie, when he was struggling to get them compensation from DC/Warner.
Some interesting behind the scenes text of how thoroughly Shuster and Siegel were screwed over the rights to Superman.
Here's another photo showing Adams with Shuster, Siegel and Jerry Robinson. Apparently they first met and got to know
each other at ACBA meetings.

Running in virtually all DC titles that month, I know them from JIMMY OLSEN 134, Dec 1970.

Something else I found in my internet travels, from June of last year:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zdeazgdWFP0https://www.cnbc.com/2016/06/22/jay-lenos-garage-crimefighters-gallery.html#slide=1ADAM WEST vs. JAY LENO In BATMOBILE RACE
By Chris Arrant, Editor
June 21, 2016
Adam West has returned to his signature 1960s Batman-era Batmobile
to "play superheroes for a day" with Jay Leno. CNBC has revealed
that West will appear in Wednesday's episode of Jay Leno's Garage
titled "Crime Fighters."
"Jay Leno explores the cars behind the world’s most powerful crime-
fighters," reads the official description. "He practices high-speed
maneuvers with the LAPD, plays superhero for the day in a Batmobile,
talks Ghostbusters and Blues Brothers with gearhead Dan Aykroyd, and
takes an explosive ride in a military MRAP. Through these
adventures, he discovers how a vehicle can define, protect, and
empower a crime-fighter."
Here is a sneak peek:

I'm feeling a bit psychedelic today. Here's an early 70's Quicksilver concert poster by underground artist Rick Griffin.
He did quite a few similar posters for various bands playing in local concert halls in the San Francisco Bay area.
A book about 20 years ago titled THE ART OF THE FILLMORE collected a whole bunch of them. The Fillmore was a
concert auditorium a lot of these posters promoted.
I don't know where this image is from, but I thought it was pretty damn cool.
It came up when I googled images for NOCTURNE.
Related to our David V. Reed conversation earlier, I found out recently that another writer in 1970's DC books, Coram Nobis is actually David V. Reed.
I particularly remember him writing a few stories under this name for PLOP.
Some other pseudonyms you might not know:
Boris Zabok, & Ted P. Skimmer = Bob Rozakis
Barry Jameson = David Michelinie
Sergius O'Shaugnessy = Dennis O'Neil
And
Al Case = Murray Boltinoff
Bill Dennehy = Murray Boltinoff
Jack Phillips = George Kashdan
Cal Walker = Carl Wessler
Charles Williams = Carl Wessler
All from early 1970's issues of THE UNEXPECTED.
From earlier in the topic:
I was looking through an issue of PLOP a few days ago, and one of the stories was credited to Coram Nobis.
I looked on Wikipedia and was surprised to see it was Batman writer David Reed, who we talked about earlier in the topic. Another for the pseudonym list.
"Coram Nobis" =
David V. Reed
This last one,
"They Crawl By Night" from JOURNEY INTO UNKNOWN WORLDS 15, Feb 1953.

BROKEBACK MOUNTAIN COMICS !
Man, the meaning of these panels sure has changed since the pre-Code/Silver Age when they were first published. Only the Murphy Anderson SUPERMAN one is obviously edited.
From THOR 341, by Simonson, a Marvel/DC crossover of sorts.

Jim Fitzpatrick, the cover to BOOK OF CONQUESTS, essentially a portfolio of his work in book form published in 1978 by Dragon's Dream (later Paper Tiger).
A second book, THE SILVER ARM, was released in 1981. Both were released in portfolio form, where I first encountered Fitzpatrick's work, courtesy of Bud Plant, at the time of its release.
The images and text are inspired by Irish/Celtic legends.
Work on a par with that of Barry Windsor-Smith's in the same period.
Just a few samples.
A pretty cool Joe Jusko cave-man version of Superman.
Too odd not to share.
This Jusko WARLORD OF MARS 5 cover is also really nice, a great design that captures the reader's excitement of becoming immersed in Edgar Rice Burroughs' JOHN CARTER OF MARS. With a tip of the hat to Norman Rockwell and his SATURDAY EVENING POST covers.
Not sure if this was ever an actual cover, or if it was just created as a tribute to pulp-era covers.
_____________________
It turns out to be one of several actual alternate covers for the
WARLORD OF MARS series from Dynamite (2010), issue 5-A.
The Buscema/Jusko cover to HULK magazine 26, without captions.
One of my favorite Jusko pieces. When I spoke to Jusko at a signing, he seems almost apologetic about his early covers and stories from 1979-1982, but they are among my favorites of his work.
HULK magazine 12 cover, Dec 1978.
An early Jusko cover.
And what the heck...
...here's the printed version of Jusko's HULK 26 cover, April 1981.
It's actually John Buscema pencils, painted by Jusko.
The pencil-stage version is the inside back cover of issue 25, promoting the next issue.
A page from "Because It's There", a 7-page story in EPIC ILLUSTRATED 5, April 1981.
One of two interior stories Jusko did for EPIC. To my knowledge, the only actual stories Jusko did, beyond covers.
The pencil version of the above HULK 26 cover.
A Buscema poster, that exhibits the quintessential 1970's Marvel style.
This was the
poster art for the 1975 Marvel Comics Convention.
I both love and hate John Buscema for his Marvel work. On the one side, he's a suberb draftsman in the classic Hal Foster style. I love his work on CONAN, SAVAGE SWORD OF CONAN, TARZAN and similar adventure work.
On the other side, he's the epitome of the 1970's marvel "House look", to some extent a Kirby imitator who took over SILVER SURFER, THOR, FF and just about every other major character for Marvel at one time.
Likewise Rich Buckler, Sal Buscema, to some degree George Perez, Ross Andru, Gene Colan, John Romita Sr., Gil Kane, Frank Giacoia, Frank Springer, Larry Lieber, Mike Esposito, and (of course!) Vince Colletta. These guys were the core of the "House look" after Kirby left, and at least when Kirby was doing it, it was not a cheap imitation of someone else's work.
I especially hated the melodramatic facial expressions of the House look, a hideous mask of overplayed melodrama that looked virtually identical no matter which of these artists drew it. For example, the Dracula face at the center of this poster. Many of these guys are very talented, but conforming to the House look diminished all of their individual work.
For all his talent, at some point John Buscema just began hacking it out. And I think there was intermittently both hackery and inspired work, at times coming out simultaneously. I
hated his 1980's run on AVENGERS inked by Tom Palmer. And that was a very long run (roughly 250-300) and Palmer (unfortunately) inked another 100 issues beyond that. What a drop in quality from the 70 issues or so by Englehart, Shooter, Michelinie, Perez and Byrne, from about 141-220.
But Buscema did fantastic work on Conan, particularly SAVAGE SWORD OF CONAN. Especially with inks by guys like Alcala, Dezuniga and Nebres. But I also love when Buscema does both pencils and inks, particularly on Conan.
Cover for THE ART OF JOHN BUSCEMA (1978), published by S Q Productions, with a lengthy Buscema interview and art.
The wrapaaround cover was also available as a poster.
"What lies beneath" by fantasy artist Julie Dillon
I love the way the upper part is so conventional looking, like millions of other bland paintings of a ship on the water. And the worst nightmare you could imagine of what lies below. A striking image, all the more so for the contrast.
Another Frazetta John Carter of Mars book illustration.
When Frazetta draws women, he's always bringin' the sexy!
A John Carter book illustration.
Frazetta in the EC era was a starving freelance artist in the comics field. It wasn't until the early/mid 1960's when Frazetta became a cover artist for the Warren magazines, and began doing paperback covers and interior illustrations for Edgar Rice Burroughs and Robert E. Howard books that Frazetta really became Frazetta, and the most acclaimed fantasy artist in the field.
To me, Frazetta will always be the guy who did Molly Hatchet album covers.
Somehow, while at least one of the album covers he did was a recycled book cover, it was one I hadn't seen previously. And one day I looked at it and thought "Oh wow, that's a Frazetta cover!"
Another that snuck by me was the cover for Meat Loaf's
Bat Out of Hell album, that I only later realized is by Richard Corben, released Oct 1977.
The second was by Wrightson.
Wrightson's cover, on the second Meat Loaf album, released September 1981.
A wraparound cover from the Feb 1981 issue of HEAVY METAL, by artist Jim Burns.
Also from HEAVY METAL, a double-page spread by Phllipe Druillet. From serialized work in HEAVY METAL.
One of my luckiest finds in the late 1970's were two Dragon's Dream trade paperbacks of collected Druillet work, LOAN SLOAN / DILIRIUS and YRAEGEL URM.
You can see similarities (or swipes) in Giffen's 1982-1984 work in LEGION, and the "Dr. Fate" backups in FLASH 306-313.
A Rafael Kayanan convention sketch of Salome. It looks to me more like Byrne than Kayanan, but nice.
I like Kayanan best for his work on SAVAGE SWORD OF CONAN, a sequel to Thomas/Smith's "Red Nails" in SSOC 211-213, 215, 217 (1993-1994), the CONAN THE ADVENTURER series(1994-1995), and in SSOC's successor CONAN THE SAVAGE 7 (Feb 1996).
Kayanan also had long runs in the early/mid 1980's on
FIRESTORM issues 20-44 (1984-1986).
And four adaptations (16 issues total) of Michael Moorcock's
HAWKMOON (1986-1988).
And
CAPTAIN ATOM 29-40, 42-44, 47-48 and 50 (1989-1991).
A more representative sample of Kayanan's style, on the first 2 issues of
CONAN THE ADVENTURER. These first two issues were exceptional, after that I think the series declined over its 14 issues.
Kayanan did art on 1-5 and 9-14 (covers only on 6-8).
https://cdnb.artstation.com/p/assets/ima....jpg?1509502912Another by the same artist.
Apparently at least partly parodying sports announcer Howard Cosell. It kind of reminds me of a comic called FISH POLICE that was published in the late 1980's.
As you can see at the link, Overton Loyd also does animation for music videos, stage designs and costumes, and also toured with George Clinton.
More Frazetta goodness:
This one his beautiful cover for Edgar Rice Burroughs'
A Princess of Mars, the first of Burroughs' John Carter of Mars series by Burroughs, and his first published book. This is for a
1970 new hardcover edition.
And I think one of Frazetta's most heroic and elegant pieces. Love that groovy 1970's title lettering! Frazetta became famous doing the book covers for new paperback and hardcover editions of Edgar Rice Burroughs and Robert E. Howard books, starting in the early/mid 1960's and on through the 1970's when I discovered them. He also did many covers throughout the same period for CREEPY and EERIE. Virtually all of which were released as posters as well for many years, up into at least the 1980's.
I read an interview of Frazetta, and was surprised, up until he began doing those book covers he was making very little money, and suddenly went from earning virtually nothing (the reason he left doing comics) to lucking into book covers where he very suddenly was making enormous money. By the mid 1970's he was being touted as the most famous and successful fantasy artist.
"The Sea Witch" by Frazetta, also a Warren magazine cover for EERIE 7, released later as a poster.
One of the earliest comic art posters I got in 1978 at age 15, that I found wall-worthy at the time for many years. I regret that I have about 200 posters, about a quarter framed and on the walls, the rest stored flat in boxes, that I pull out every few years. Would that I had the space to give them all the wall display they deserve.
Some good girl art by Frank Cho for your viewing pleasure. Liberty Meadows. (Channeling Marilyn Monroe.)
Frank Cho PRINCESS OF MARS imageThis one also stood out for me.
Gee I just can't figure out why!
Wow Wondy, you've posted some really cool pages here over the last year.
Thanks for taking the time to do all that.
Oh. Hey, you're welcome.
Here's another Neal Adams Deadman page, from STRANGE ADVENTURES 209, Adams' 4th issue of the series:
I'd love to have the original art for this one framed and on the wall. Of all Adams' work, his Deadman series is arguably his most creative and innovative, the series where he most experimented with page design. Possibly Adams wanted to make a strong impression with his first regular series, and therefore poured all his energy into it. Or he was living his dream working in comics, as he had wanted to for 10 years despite attempts to discourage him, and having finally broken in, was just having a blast doing comics professionally.
Adams also did some work for CREEPY and EERIE in early/mid 1967, for about a year before he came to DC, and was doing whatever work he could get at DC to break in, such as BOB HOPE, JERRY LEWIS, and war story backups for OUR ARMY AT WAR 182, 183 and 186, paying his dues.
And an Elongated Man backup in DETECTIVE 369, before finally being given STRANGE ADVENTURES 206-216. And then WORLD'S FINEST 175-176, THE SPECTRE 2-5, and BRAVE AND THE BOLD 79-86 as regular series. And at that point, he'd set the world on fire with plenty of acclaim and could do pretty much anything he wanted to, at both DC and Marvel.
Another Rafael Kayanan page, from CONAN THE ADVENTURER 1 that I mentioned above.
Some of the best writing and art on the series since Thomas/Smith's work on "Hawks From the Sea" in CONAN THE BARBARIAN 19 and 20.
Kayanan was perfect to do a sequel with Thomas to "Red Nails" in SAVAGE SWORD OF CONAN.
Alongside some other images I was going to post was a link of Kayanan's net worth.
https://networthroll.com/blog1/rafael-kayanan-net-worth-2/At over $122 million, he might be the richest creator to ever come out of comics. Although he does Hollywood movie concept drawings and set designs, and also choreography for martial arts scenes.
Cover for THE ART OF NEAL ADAMS (1975), published by SQ Productions.
A collection of about 32 pages of Neal Adams covers, Continuity ad art, and other assorted pin-ups.
ART OF NEAL ADAMS vol 2 (1977).
This copy is signed, mine isn't.
Interesting to think that, these days, if Adams ever put out covers like that, Warner Bros. and Disney would be sending out immediate cease-and-desist orders.
Yeah, just ask Dave Sim ("Wolveroach") and Alan Moore ("Marvelman" renamed MIRACLEMAN) about Marvel's tendencies in that direction.
Disney sued Marvel in 1980-1981 over Howard the Duck, forcing Marvel to put pants on Howard to separate him from Donald Duck. I doubt it makes the slightest diffence to anyone but Disney.
HOWARD THE DUCK issue 1, from early 1976.
The hottest, hardest to find book in my time collecting up to that point. Impossible to get on the stands. Knowing what I know now, speculators bought them all up so they never made it to the stands, so they could sell them to kids at conventions and by mail order for several times cover price. In the Overstreet price guide, they call this "limited distribution" or "distribution problems", but it was speculators.
I understand there were similar artificial speculator-driven shortages for the early Barry Smith CONAN issues, and for Wrightson SWAMP THING issues, among others. The distribution problems of Smith CONAN was before my time. And for me anyway, I had no trouble getting my SWAMP THING issues when they came out.
The last I recall that happening with was THOR 337, in 1983, the first issue of Simonson's classic run. I actually years later met a guy who admitted to me he went to the distributor for the 7-11 stores in his area, and bought up all the copies, and made a good amount of money on it.
As far as I know, 7-11 stores don't even carry comics anymore.
A comparitive Halloween-festive Carl Barks Donald Duck, for your viewing pleasure.
Yeah, just ask Dave Sim ("Wolveroach") and Alan Moore ("Marvelman" renamed MIRACLEMAN) about Marvel's tendencies in that direction.
Disney sued Marvel in 1980-1981 over Howard the Duck, forcing Marvel to put pants on Howard to separate him from Donald Duck. I doubt it makes the slightest diffence to anyone but Disney.
Ignoring that the mouse looks a bit like Mickey (more like Mighty Mouse IMO), they are opening marketing the book with dozens of trademarked MCU and DC characters on it. I can't imagine either company allowing any of them on the cover these days.

Yeah, not without advance permission, anyway.
The mouse in question on both Adams covers is
ATOMIC MOUSE, published by Charleton from 1953-1963.
I didn't know till you mentioned him that Mighty Mouse was a publication of Timely/Marvel beginning in 1946. Although it began as a Terry-Toon animated cartoon character, apparently licensed to many other publishers over the last 7 decades.
In less litiginous times, Disney tolerated them, both the Mighty and Atomic mice, without a problem.
Apparently the new thing this year is carving a realistic face on a pumpkin.
With some delightfully creepy results.
Didn't you get the memo, G-man?
Math is racist!
So Batman in this scenario would take vengeance on the libtards who think math should be removed from schools, for race-based reasons?
Calculus actually does have real world applications, such as determining the volume or surface area of non-symmetric unusual shaped objects, such as swimming pools or machine parts.
Calculus was the hardest class I took while in college, which made me particularly proud of getting an A in Calc I, and a B+ in Calc II (I had an A going into the final exam, and then my score on the final lowered my final grade a bit).
Minus the uncomfortable anal references, that reminds me of a scene from JLA 193, pages 6 and 7:
https://readcomiconline.to/Comic/Justice-League-of-America-1960/Issue-193?id=27621#7Which I think was a sample of Gerry Conway at his best during his scripting run on JLA. The Perez/Beatty art also doesn't hurt a bit.
A nice Conan pin-up by Mike Nasser, showing side by side the pencil version and final version.
You know it's old, 1980's or earlier, because it's signed "Nasser", not Netzer as he has changed his name to for religious reasons.
Nasser did some nice Green Arrow and Black Canary backup stories in WORLD'S FINEST 244-246:
His rendition of Black Canary in a variety of skimpy outfits was on par with a Victoria's Secret catalog.
A page from Nasser's Green Arrow story in
WORLD'S FINEST 245 , that I think of as the "Green Arrow anal rape issue". With the angle of that panel, combined with the expression on Arrow's face being rather... suggestive. (Nasser did a 10-page Green Arrow story, that continued into a Nasser 10-page Black Canary story, the two stories essentially one 20 page continuous story)
Dr. Frederic Wertham would have enjoyed Nasser's run.
A Nasser Batman page from the "Batman Spectacular" issue of DC SPECIAL SERIES 15. It's a Nasser page, but he could have just as easily signed it "Neal Adams".
A striking Nasser cover, the last issue of the series, before the Shazam feature became a backup in WORLD'S FINEST for about 4 years. Nasser only did the cover, with interior art by Newton/Schaffenberger for just this one issue, before continuing a long Newton run as a backup in WORLD's FINEST 253-282.
A Vampirella type character, sporting a bit of nipple.
By Tim Vigil.
Vampirella and friends, by Mark Schultz.
Cover by Wrightson for the 1975 ACBA SKETCHBOOK.
I get a kick out of seeing Wrightson do funny animal characters. There are several Wrightson
Howard the Duck drawings.
While Wrightson is primarily known as a horror/mystery artist, there is a lot of playful humor
in his work, and the funny animals when he's done them work quite well.
Some of the 47 interior pages here:

The Al Weiss/Joe Rubinstein art is in the previous issue 34, and is quite nice, too bad it's only one issue.

A Nasser Batman page from the "Batman Spectacular" issue of DC SPECIAL SERIES 15. It's a Nasser page, but he could have just as easily signed it "Neal Adams".
Wasn’t Nasser an Adams protege?
Wasn’t Nasser an Adams protege?
Yeah, he worked for Continuity Associates for many years, and even had a partial credit in Adams' first issue of MS MYSTIC in 1982. After which Nasser claimed that Adams stole Nasser's idea for MS MYSTIC, and there was a bitter lawsuit that Nasser filed, unsuccessfully.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Michael_NetzerIn 1991, Netzer returned to New York and Continuity Comics, where he produced art for several issues of Megalith. He and Neal Adams entered into a dispute over intellectual property rights to Ms. Mystic, a character they had worked on jointly in 1977, which Adams had published under the Pacific Comics and Continuity Comics imprints, leading to a lawsuit against Adams in New York Federal Court in 1993.[23] The case was dismissed in 1995, citing the statute of limitations.[24][25]
Even artists with as distinctive a style as Rudy Nebres and Nestor Redondo, and needless to say Rich Buckler, ended up being identical clones of Neal Adams after a few years at Continuity.
I actually have thought that's added to Adams' legacy and influence in comics, is that he trained so many artists in the field (through Continuity) as to dominate the field for decades with so many drawing in the Adams style.
Sienkiewicz is another who worked for years with Adams. And even though working in comics since 1978, it wasn't until about 1984 that he broke out of the Adams style and developed a distinctive look. And when he developed a new look,
that look is greatly an imitation of artist Barron Storey, who was an instructor of Sienkiewiz's.
I’m pretty sure a great deal of Buckler’s similarity to Adams came from Buckler being a huge Swiper
Well, I read an interview of Buckler where he talked about in the early years (1970-1972) that editors didn't like his work much, and he was kind of a diamond in the rough without a particular style. I'm thinking when he was doing stuff like "The Rose and the Thorn" backups in LOIS LANE, and "Robin" backups in BATMAN. And there wasn't much demand for his work, with editors saying "You need to find your voice."
Then he starts imitating Neal Adams, and all of a sudden there's demand for Buckler's work, and editors are ironically saying, "You've found your voice!"
In the 1973-1976 period, I think Buckler's most interesting and individual work was his "Deathlok" series in
ASTONISHING TALES 25-36.
And one final concluding story in
MARVEL SPOTLIGHT 33.
Up until about 1975, Buckler wasn't so much of an Adams clone. During his FF stage in around 1974-1976, he began swiping a lot from Kirby. I think that was both out of a wish to maintain continuity with the Kirby and Buscema FF runs that preceded him, and also possibly due to the enormous pressure of getting a monthly book in on time.
From 1975-1982, that's the period where his style got increasingly identical to Adams. And shamelessly so. There are several WORLD'S FINEST issues he did in the 1979-1982 period where entire panels were just blatantly swiped from Adams Batman stories, you could match them up, line for line. His DC covers from 1977-1980 were the next best thing to having Adams do covers for DC again. Which by no coincidence was the period he was doing a lot of work for Continuity.
Sienkiewicz, Buckler, Broderick, Nasser, all of them, the more they worked for Continuity, the more they looked like Adams and ceased to have any individual style.
Buckler and Giffen, though... when it comes to swiping other artists, those two guys are in a class of their own.
Bucker primarily swiped from Kirby at Marvel, Adams at DC.
The swiping got so bad at DC that the reason DC cancelled "Star Hunters" was because Buckler swiped copyrighted space ship designs from a Saturday morning cartoon show.
It's also worth mentioning that he sued The Comics Journal for publishing examples of his outright plagiarism of a Jack Kirby story, and subsequently withdrew his lawsuit after being devastated in the deposition phase. The CJ lawyers started showing up with stacks of his art and the art he plagiarized from, went through it piece by piece, and he caved.
This guy has a pretty compilation of Buckler's Kirby swipes:
http://panelocityhomageswipes.blogspot.com/search/label/Rich%20Buckler
That swipe file site is a treasure trove.
I'm surprised it doesn't have a huge section for Giffen.
Some similarities are probably coincidence. But the overwhelming abundance of identical layouts by Buckler to other artists is pretty beyond question swiping on Buckler's part.
I wasn't aware why STAR HUNTERS was cancelled, I thought it just wasn't selling. It wasn't a series I thought was particularly good or imaginative. Even though it had early work by Layton, Buckler, Newton, Hama, with writing by Michelinie.
That's hilarious about Buckler wanting to sue the COMICS JOURNAL. I recall an editorial cartoon in a 1980 COMICS JOURNAL issue, where it shows Neal Adams in the IRS talking to a tax agent, and the agent tells Adams he'd be perfectly within his rights to claim Buckler as a dependent.
In between the swipes, Buckler also did a lot of damn nice stuff.
This page from a Robin backup story in BATMAN 241, May 1972. I think the first page of Buckler's work I saw.
my gut tells me the two left panels on that page are swipes
I was always struck by how Buckler consistently swiped from Kirby and Adams, the two most prominent artists in the field, artists so visible that everyone, both fans and professionals, would see his obvious swiping.
I've often cited Keith Giffen as another major swiper. But at least Giffen swiped mostly from French artist Duillet (whose work mostly appeared in the U.S. in the early issues of HEAVY METAL). And later another European artist Jose Munoz. Although Giffen clearly borrows a lot from Kirby as well.
I always thought of Buckler as the Rob Liefeld of the 1970's.
https://instahaha.com/p/B7yMZrzhHFw.htmlhttps://scontent-yyz1-1.cdninstagram.com...836&oe=5E8ABEC0A really cool Galactus commission page by someone named Giorgio Comolo.
It reminds me of artist Jose Ladronn from the 1990's/early 2000's.
Another nice page by Comolo, of Lilandra from X-MEN, with a few Kree, Skrulls, and the Imperial Guard tossed in the background.
I might end up buying some of these pages.
As they say in the Spanish-speaking world, uno mas...
Here's a Comolo portfolio, with a dozen superhero paintings done in a variety of fine art styles.
http://www.associazionelanonaarte.it/new/portfolio-giorgio-comolo-fine-art/#closeThe Davinchi wolverine sketches, and the Dali Captain America/Red Skull both cracked me up.
Geez, give a thunder god a break!
A nice Byrne page, from sometime during his FF run.
If I've seen this one before, I'd forgotten it.
Possibly a poster Marvel released back then.
I finally found where this originated from. It was the double-page centerfold (in black and white) of FANTASTIC FOUR CHRONICLES, the second issue of Fantaco's CHRONICLES series in 1982.
https://www.mycomicshop.com/search?TID=304161In a time before the internet, these issues were a really useful resource, with a lot of great history of each series, interviews of writers and artists, complete checklists of credits for every issue and series the characters appeared in, and a lot of great pro and fan pin-up pages and covers.
Sometime in the mid-1980's Marvel also released a color poster version of Byrne's centerfold. Marvel's leadership became jerks to Byrne in late 1985, from the moment he announced he was leaving Marvel to do Superman, so the poster must have come out sometime previous to that, in 1983-1985.
Trump will win in a landslide both in the popular vote and the electoral college.
Superman as a symbol of traditionalism and American exceptionalism, must be pretty schizophrenic to possibly share the same brain as far-left liberal reporter Clark Kent. But I'm saying that envisioning Clark Kent as a reporter in the modern era, not that of the 1930's when he was created, or the 1940's, 1950's, 1960's, and 1970's. A reporter in the modern era is a completely different beast.
There's also the possibility that Clark Kent in the modern era could be a closeted conservative, keeping another secret identity among his liberal peers in the newsroom.
Or conversely, I haven't read a Superman title in close to 20 years, but liberal weenie writers have probably re-booted the character as a woke liberal, in which case he'd fit right in a modern newsroom, joining his fellow reporters in an internal New York Times e-mail chain bashing and
calling for the resignation of any editor that might be so daring as to give equal time on an editorial page to someone like conservative-republican Senator Tom Cotton.
We really need a Superman to save us from that...

https://www.erbzine.com/mag36/3610.htmlNeal Adams did covers for the new printing of Edgar Rice Burroughs TARZAN books in the late 1970's. There were 24 books total in the series, 12 with covers by Neal Adams, and 12 with covers by Boris Vallejo. But then I count 17 covers by Adams in these images, possibly more in the series were later replaced by Adams covers in a later printing, or were unpublished.
I have some, not all of the books. It's nice to see the whole set of covers together finally.
I first saw them as the Sal Quartuccio (S Q Productions) NEAL ADAMS PORTFOLIO, set A (1-4), set B (5-8), and set C (9-12), in a larger 11" X 14" size and caption free.
The above image is from the portfolio cover for set A. I bought these roughly 40 years ago from Bud Plant.

A nice art print of Will Eisner's The Spirit, titled
"River of Crime", released by Kitchen Sink in 2004.
Signed and numbered by Eisner, there were only 150 released. I'd gladly pay the 150.00 price, if it were still available. Or if it were available in an unsigned version.
It also has the distinction of being the last art print released by Eisner before he died. I met Eisner at multiple local conventions over a 30-year period. Eisner lived in Tamarac, FL, a little northwest of Fort Lauderdale.
Here's an oversize black and white version:

A great limited edition print by Charles Vess, part of a 2-print set, titled "Purrfect Memories", published in 1988.. A really fun pairing of Spiderman with the Black Cat. I don't recall ever seeing it listed. You can see on the image that it was a signed/numbered limited edition, signed by both Charles Vess and Stan Lee, and limited to 2500 copies.
This may have coincided with Vess's SPIDERMAN: TIME SPIRITS hardcover graphic novel (Marvel graphic novel 63, in 1990).
There were several other Spiderman prints by Vess also.

http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_LcYCjYs-R...ZoYYY/s1600/Art+Adams+Avengers+cover.jpgArthur Adams for me is one of the creators over the last 40 years who exemplifies the fun of comics, and a complete lack of pretentiousness in his work.
I've looked back on this poster-page of the Marvel heroes, with costumes that span several eras, as a pretty representative sample of his work.
Like the earlier pages posted here, this is (or at least was) one of the duplicate pages you can purchase inexpensively on his own website, if still available.

Another of my favorites from Adams, his 1985 cover for the X-MEN: HEROES FOR HOPE benefit book.
I was lucky enough to get to keep the 11 X 17" promotional poster from my local comic shop owner when it came out. I don't know why he was willing to part with it, and give it to me for free, no less. But I'm so glad he did, I've enjoyed it for many years.

Some nice good girl art Supergirl appreciation, and appears to include a busty Power Girl in the lower left.

Milo Manara's work has obvious appeal to any male reader. If I were to nit-pick, my only complaint, as with most European artists, is that his work is a bit rough. As opposed to the decorative linestyle of , say, Wrightson or Adams or Steranko or Windsor-Smith.
I think my favorite of Manara's work is his GULLIVERA graphic novel.
That was reprinted in its 64 page entirety in the July 1997 issue of HEAVY METAL.

Hey, what's not to like?
https://vocal.media/geeks/a-message...ized-superheroines-aren-t-being-censoredMan... 80 years of "good girl art" in comics, and THIS is what upsets the woke crowd ?
It just seems like a very contrived and made-up controversy. The initial image I posted from Bleeding Cool is at least temporarily down, but you can still view a smaller version of it in the new link, with some context that it was drawn by Manara to oppose censorship. The initial Spider-woman variant cover (that got a small vocal group of "woke" nutcases upset) is ridiculously tame. And even the second "Cho !" one Manara gave to Frank Cho in person, to promote opposition to censorship, is still playfully suggestive and nothing to get upset about.

One of many great mystery covers for DC by Adams, this one for THE WITCHING HOUR 13, March 1971. The "lucky 13" issue.

Adams' opening intro page for VAMPIRELLA 44, August 1975.
With boobs like that the dreams can't be that bad!
With boobs like that the dreams can't be that bad!

There were quite a few talented "good girl" artists on VAMPIRELLA in that era, including Gonzalo Mayo, Auraleon, Ramon Torrents, Estaban Maroto, Jose Gonzalez, and others. Most discovered and recruited from either Spain or the Phillipines.
VAMPIRELLA (1969-1982 series, Warren)
https://viewcomiconline.com/vampirella-1969-issue-44/Despite many revivals in the 1990's and forward, none of them matched the consistent assembly of talent and decorative linework of the earlier Warren run.
And please, better no color, rather than AWFUL coloring, as is the norm in the Harris published issues.
There's an occasional wonderful surprise by the likes of Arthur Adams (in CREEPY 1993 FEARBOOK) in the Harris run. But few and far between.
An exceptional Byrne page:

Simonson's wrap-around cover for the
MONSTER MASTERWORKS collected trade of pre-Marvel monster stories from the 1959-1963 period by Lee, Kirby, Ayers and Ditko, published in 1989. Included in it is the Fin Fang Foom story.
In the same period Simonson, with Arthur Adams, did a great tribute story using many of these same monsters, a 3-part story in
FANTASTIC FOUR 347-349.
https://viewcomiconline.com/fantastic-four-v1-347/
.
A lesser known cover by Simonson, but still one of my favorites, for SECRET CITY SAGA # 0, in April 1993.
And even better, an interior 8-page origin story by Simonson.
Simonson is one of the few who did work on Kirby characters, where I felt Simonson's work, like so few other artists expanding on Kirby concepts, is as good or better than what Kirby would have done. This is a great little origin story, that covers 15,000 years of time in the span of 8 pages, telling the story of an advanced civilization that chooses to end their civilization, to make room for the emerging human race, amid what appears to be a foretold global electrical / wind storm/ earthquake that destroys their civilization. This is a recurring theme in Kirby's work, such as ETERNALS, where civilizations rise and fall and are completely erased and unknown to the next civilization that rises.
Whether MANHUNTER or THOR or X-MEN/TITANS, or ORION, Simonson has a tremendous dynamic energy to his work, that mirrors the power of Kirby's art. But Simonson has a style completely his own and is not an imitation of Kirby, unlike so many others.
The remaining issues of
SECRET CITY SAGA 1-4 are by Ditko, would that they could have been done by Simonson as well. But it's also interesting to see how Ditko, Heck and Severin handled the same characters, in what was essentially a brief reunion and resurrection of the 1960's Marvel house style and creators.

The first, and arguably the best tribute cover of all time. Neal Adams (
BATMAN 227, Dec 1970)
Improving on the already classic Bob Kane cover (
DETECTIVE COMICS 31, Sept 1939).
A really cool Galactus commission page by someone named Giorgio Comolo.
It reminds me of artist Jose Ladronn from the 1990's/early 2000's.
An expired image, here's a new one of the same image:

A comics fanzine cover for
FUTURE GOLD (Dec 1980/Jan 1981.
By fan artist Rudi Franke, who was much more visible in the 1970's and early 1980's period. His work was frequently seen alongside artists like Lela Dowling, Frank Cirocco, Ken Macklin, and other artists who originated from the San Francisco bay area. I'm less familiar with his work outside of comics, I suspect he also did fantasy art for illustrated books and SF/fantasy pulp magazines.
He did a lot of work for comics fanzines, and also had several advertised portfolios and prints.
I love the name FUTURE GOLD for a comics fanzine, implying the future value and appreciation of the books and art we all love.
.
One of Michael Golden's best pages, from
THE X-MEN COMPANION, vol. 1 (1982). This was the cover, and also as seen here, the captionless back cover.
Here it is in black and white....
And the final version in color....
.
Another Michael Golden rarity.
Dated 1980, this is an unpublished Defenders page. Maybe for a pin-up, or unused house ad for the title. I first saw it in black and white in Two Morrows' MODERN MASTERS: MICHAEL GOLDEN book, along with a number of other previously unpublished Golden pages.
.
Another rare Golden page, this one the unpublished cover for what would haave been MISTER MIRACLE 26 in 1978, if not for the "DC Implosion". For many years, I only had a badly xeroxed copy of this from CANCELLED COMIC CAVALCADE 1 and 2, that collected all the comics and covers from the cancelled DC Implosion books.
This is the only version I've seen in color, perhaps finally reprinted somewhere else.
Michael Golden also illustrated MISTER MIRACLE 23-25 in 1978 (following the Englehart and Rogers run in issues 19-22). To my knowledge, only the cover was finished for issue 26, no story or interior art completed. Issue 23 is inked by Joe Geilla, 24 and 25 are inked by Russ Heath, as is this cover for 26.
You can view all these issues here:
https://comiconlinefree.net/mister-miracle-1971/issue-23/fullhttps://viewcomiconline.com/mister-miracle-1971-issue-24/https://comiconlinefree.net/mister-miracle-1971/issue-25/fullGolden in 1977-1978 did work at DC for HOUSE OF MYSTERY 257 and 259, HOUSE OF SECRETS 148, 149 and 151, GHOSTS 88, SECRETS OF HAUNTED HOUSE 10, DC SPECIAL SERIES 15 (BATMAN SPECTACULAR), BATMAN 295 (full issue), and 303 (backup story), BATMAN FAMILY 15-20, and DETECTIVE COMICS 482. I love this early Golden work for DC, his pages were beautiful, from the moment he entered comics.
Golden's earliest work at Marvel is in MARVEL CLASSICS COMICS 28 in 1977, and in DEFENDERS 53 and 54 , Nov and Dec 1977.
The DC Implosion cancelled most of these titles and created a huge inventory of stories at DC, and very little need for new work from freelance artists at DC for a long time, that drove Golden over to Marvel, just in time to be appointed the series artist for MICRONAUTS 1-12, and gorgeous covers on a dozen or so issues after that run.
Golden also did beautiful covers later on in 1981 for DEFENDERS 94 and 96

I've been rediscovering Mike Grell lately, particularly the first 10 years or so he was drawing comics. This is Grell's cover for the late lamented
AMAZING WORLD OF DC COMICS fanzine, issue 12, dated August 1976, during Grell's run on SUPERBOY/LEGION 202-224, and 236 from 1974-1977.
