At the beginning (roughly) of the century, I finally made it to Portland, and my one and only visit to the legendary Powell's Book Store. Saw a ton of amazeball books there, including a stack of the over-sized coffe-table book The Silver Age of Comic Book Art. On sale for five books. Nice. I often wonder why the heck I didn't hold onto it, but, hey, there's a lot more precious stuff out there than this that I sold for a moment's pleasure, so no surprise. The book was full of these wonderful giant two-page splashes by Kirby, Ditko, Kirby, Steranko, Kirby, Adams, Kirby, and Kane

Al Williamson Archives Vol. 2 Cover
Luv star'n at this one (please embiggen)! After his Flash Gordon stuff, I think this is my fav picture by Al, and that's say'n a lot for me, cause those Fleagles working on EC projects did just amazeballs stuff. Speaking of Fleagles, Angelo Torres needs a better look on here, methinks

Chall-Town by Jack Kirby
Second image up before (if you haven't seen New Jack Cities before, please look em up), but I think the first image is new on here. Both are the splash from The Challengers of the Unknown #4, when the Challs go to the future. My copy is from the reprints of the super special some 2 decades after, so I'm wonder'n if those first colors are from 1958. Whatever, cause I dig em both

Teleported Television Antennae by Rich Corben
I kinda knew of these odd rooftop decorations before he drew them, maybe cause I grew up with similar items on every roof

Six Million Views Part Deux! by Neal Adams
When Russ commented on the last post that I was now officially bionic, I immediately flashed to this, and (correct me if I'm wrong, cause I was wrong that one time when I said I was wrong) I'm pretty sure I've never had these up on here
