Dug this splash for the last and first quarters of two centuries, but never paused to consider the rough. Besides conveying the same massive splendor of the published version, I dig the land'n module descending

Who Is This Is? by Gil Kane
At first glance, I took it for Gullivar Jones, or maybe the Flamehorse rider, but I kinda am clueless. If you know, please tell me. Whoever it is, well done, Mr. Kane

Marvelmania Spidey by Jack Kirby
If you search Spider Man Kirby on here, you can see most of maybe Jack's rarest subject. This rough is so cool, I bet a finished Spidey woulda been all that and a tuna sandwich

Touch Of Skywald by Mike Kaluta
Finally remembered that Russ had told me (more than once!) that Kaluta had done work for Skywald's horror mags, and that it was more along the lines of fanzine stuff. Way cool! Also learned that Kaluta did a back-up story for Superman (?), and I stuck up this splash because it is also from 1971, and the time machine reminds me of the tech in The Cosmos Strain (don't bother search'n that story title, by the by, cause all you'll find is potent pot), but most importantly--isn't that Luke Skywalker's Landspeeder 6 years before the movie? George was definitely well-read back then

Superior Inferiors by Wally Wood
The first image, the original EC splash from over 70 years ago, is new on here. Makes me think of Robert Redford when he played the supreme Hydra in Winter Soldier, still styl'n at 78. Dunno why, but the reprints never quite capture completely what EC was dish'n up

Retro Jack Kirby
As Big Bear of The Forever People would say, "this is pure camp!" Okay I dunno what to call the style of the first and third images here, but I know I dig it. Happy New Year!
