Some Gothic Blimp Works (Thanks, Russ!)


















Mike Kaluta, Spain, Vaughn Bode, Berni Wrightson, and Robert Crumb.  So, besides the amaz'n Mal-ig by George Metzger (last post), Gothic Blimp Works had a slew of other great art in its underground "sunday funnies."  Russ and I were just lament'n that these newsprint publications were long destroyed or selling for a fortune, so I thought I'd see what I could dig up.  Fell in love with Kaluta's Star Child when I saw it for the first time today
