Although I'd been told somebody was channel'n Steranko, I pretty much ignored Master Of Kung-Fu for a coupla decades, and never even perceived this paperback until just the other day. Onea my most ambitious posts from the wayback is MOKF by Gulacy, so I finally caught on. That first interior drawing really resonates Steranko's Chandler (and the stained-glass swag lamp was in a ton of homes in the seventies, including a coupla my cribs)

Another Blackmark (?) by Gil Kane
Good thing he wrote Blackmark on this, or I might be think'n it was a skinny Kane Conan. Also, if you gave this guy a crewcut, it'd be His Name Is Savage. Angry eyes takes me back to top forty radio in the seventies

Coupla More Fly'n Tigers by Wally Wood
Course Lone Tiger was up a lot in the wayback, and some more convolutions are in the works, but these two are che nice

Bullseye by Jack Kirby
Said it before so I'll say it again: Bullseye brings me great joy. Although Big Bear gives him a run for the money, I find Bullseye to be Jack's happiest character. First image was never up here (I believe), the Bullseye trad'n card. Then the lousy scan I made from my Black Book Valentine to Roz before ship'n it off to an eBay customer at the turn o the century. Then my fav Kirby drawing of Bullseye, then a detail of my fav (please embiggen), then the drawing that started this very blog

Strange Tales #132 Cover by Steve Ditko
.............and the cover in our dimension, as mostly done by Jack Kirby. Odd thing is, I love the cover Jack did 2 issues earlier (specially w/o the Torch and Thing as Beatles), but the Kirby part of 132s cover may be my least fav art ever
A day later (and a dollar shorter) here's the page from whence came the mock-up, and that same story's splash, also rock'n the magic bolts and contorted fingers and groovy little statues
