A Fistful Of Steve Fritz

The Star Studded's been on here forever and a day, but Fritz was a true fan artist for the fanzines (woulda loved to've seen him at Marvel, DC, or Charlton, but I never spotted him).  If you know of other Fritz's, please holla

 

Together Again For The First Time: Frank Frazetta and Jack Kirby

Course we all know of the epic meet'n of the masters in 1988's Last Of The Viking Heroes Summer Special #1, but this TBG ad from the early seventies shows the fanzine Gas Lite #9 had em both in it's pages, and now they'll be together this fall in George's Lucas Museum (just heard the clos'n song from Grease as I wrote that).  Once again, I'm wowed by the Lucas genius.  In 73, I saw American Graffiti in the theater 9 times

 

Hounds De Skaith by Jim Steranko

Only the first image is new on here.  I agree with Joyce that "I shall never see a poem as lovely as a tree," but I also think that I shall never see an orange panorama as lovely as a Skaithian Hound Dog

 

Spanish Swamp Thing by Berni Wrightson

Wayback at the beginning of da blog (Jan. of 2010) I put up the second image, an unpublished Swamp Thing which I found (and still find) incredibly beautiful.  Now, at this end of da blog, I see it's been published.  nice

 

Yet Another Thermal Man by Jack Kirby

Okay, poke me with a fork, but I think I'm done

 

Another Dow Girl by Frank Frazetta

The rough is new on here.  Apparently, in 1972, Dow Chemical had the crazy idea that most of our stuff could be made out a resins.  Yeah, right!  And we'll probly make it all with 3-D printers!  Hah!  Hey, wait a sec...
