Barbaric Watercolor by Frank Frazetta




 Yes, Virginia, there is a Santa Claus.  At the end of last summer, I had a post called Tiny Barbarians, with those two images from an art catalog from 1974, lamenting I couldnae see them clearly, nor with the watercolors talked about in the catalog.  Viola, as Bugs would say, one outa two ain't bad

Nouvelle escale a Pharagonescia by Moebius


While at the new stopover, I hope John Difool has time to send some postcards.  The Incal movie should be interest'n
 

Savage World by Frank Frazetta




 Okay, I'm the Cap'n, and I over-post some favs (Hi, Cap'n!).  So Monster Mania has been fundundantly posted over the years, but I dunnae think I ever noticed the third Neanderthal was replaced with Shemp sometime after the magazine.  You may recall Shemp also replaced Curly in the Stooges

4 X More Avon Inside Front Covers by Wally Wood






As I look into it more, it's start'n to feel like Wally was an art addict in 1951-1953, just drawing non-stop
 

Scorpio by Jim Steranko











 Although there's noth'n new to see here (move along, folks, just move along), the first two images are kinda cool.  They are from an eBay listing 19 years ago (almost to the day).  Seven years after that, I started a blog, and clearly forgot a ton of stuff I was think'n bout pre-blog.  wow.  Stay tuned

Self-Reflective Creature by Berni Wrightson


 I dinnae want to title it Frankenstein, or Frankenstein's Monster, so... early parapsychology, neh?  The greatest love of all, sings George Benson.  Anyhoo, what great pen 'n ink work

The Broken Sword by George Barr












George Barr is a puzzle inside an enigma buried in a lost crypt, and the fact that I just learned he did an actual comic....wow.  This B.S. is beautiful, and makes me want more

Surf's Up! by Jack Kirby and Wally Wood



 Surf Hunter is so georgeous, we woulda all been lured in, I'm sure.  Unfortunately, none of the newspaper syndicates took the bait.  Talk about your blown opportunafish

Shades Of Kandar by Jeff Jones











 Had the last two up in the wayback (with the pencils, even), just never realized how different this art can look based on the printing (which was all at the same time, I believe)
