More Frazetta John Carter

2012-02-28T21:38:00.000-08:00

I know the paintings were already posted recently, but Betty Ballantine,s Frazetta always had a unique coloration--and this last gives me a chance to ask this time around, did everyone but myself already know there were cheetahs on Mars?

Kavin's World by Frank Frazetta

2012-02-22T23:23:00.000-08:00

This last image is, I think, the best, not only for the best detail (in a new window, natch) but also because those wrinkles have a sentimental value. In the early seventies, a bunch of us were sci-fi, fantasy, and comic nerds, but also too cool for school, so whatever paperback we were reading at the time had to be squeezed into our hip jeans pockets. Tonight, Mr. Doortree reminded me again how monumental Frazetta was and is, and Jimmy Fallon cracked me up with this gag-"Next week, a rare comicbook collection goes up for auction with an estimated value of 2 million dollars. The comics are in great shape, having never been touched, just like the guy who owns them." haha At my high school, Jimmy would've been held down in a stack of comics until he was as cool and nerdy as the rest of us. All angst aside, though, I dig Jimmy Fallon

Okay, last time with Ned Young, but open this little ad from RBCC in a new window and embiggen, and you should see why I'm so Jonesin on him

My Favorite Marie & John Severin

2012-02-15T20:28:00.000-08:00

From the back of Conan #10---has almost a jazz-like quality- just beautiful-blow, man, blow!

John Severin

2012-02-14T23:33:00.000-08:00

Wow--exactly a month ago I was again groovin on Kull by Severin, and Don Hudson was turning me onto The 'Nam work John did. You'll know John's house along the pearly streets, because his mansion will have incredible and delightful detail all over it

Moebius

2012-02-14T23:07:00.000-08:00

If I liked a story of his, and posted the entire story, would that be an Einstenian model of infinity (A Moebius Strip)?

Another Bob Kline from '69

2012-02-13T14:42:00.000-08:00

1969 not only saw us landing on the moon, Gil Scot-Heron creating rap, and a little concert called Woodstock, I think it was Robert Kline's best year for his fanzine art

Hal Foster

2012-02-11T22:24:00.001-08:00

Best my low tech will allow me to do from the original poster

Comic Shop Flyer by Barry Smith Part Deux

2012-02-06T22:01:00.000-08:00

Years later, Wayne takes this off the wall also, again probably to get me to stop staring and go home.

Comic Shop Flyer by Barry Smith

2012-02-06T21:51:00.000-08:00

Wayne took this off the wall and gave it to me, probably to get me to stop staring and go home. Another independent publisher from the 1980's!

The Enchantment by Barry Smith Update

2012-02-06T21:36:00.000-08:00

Okay, from another chopped up copy, I can tell it was Conan #20 crumpled up on the bench (and I'd forgotten about the turtle!)

Who else would crumple paper, airbrush it, and make incredible asteroids?

Rare Thunder by Michael Golden

2012-02-05T21:19:00.001-08:00

Okay, not that rare, but I like it--Can you believe independent publishers in 1983?

John Carter by Corben and Frazetta

2012-02-04T23:11:00.000-08:00

In the midst of a gruesome snow-storm, it's nice to think about Moab in summer, and the John Carter film that was made there (have I raved that it's coming this summer?) ((Nice! I got in summer twice!))

Conan by Barry Smith

2012-02-04T16:54:00.000-08:00

I forgot this in my last post, but the back of The Enchantment print in the Studio book had this wonderful sketch

The Enchantment by Barry Smith

2012-02-04T11:28:00.000-08:00

This is stupid, but years ago I cut this print out of The Studio book and trimmed it to fit a binder. Now I can't remember which Conan comic the wizard left crumpled on his bench, sooo...

here are the Conans from that time period. Embiggen and enjoy!

Jack Kirby and Barry Smith as Jedi Knights

Jack taught us all, but Barry was his best student

Gil Kane

2012-02-01T22:14:00.000-08:00

From Steranko's newspaper. I couldn't get in his peasants of the future (heavy sigh)
