Good Grief! by Jack Kirby

A week ago (exactly), I put up the best Chall-Town, but this one's none too shabby, neither.  From Showcase #11, sounds like the Challengers of the Unknown talked a lot like Charlie Brown back in the fifties.  If you haven't noticed over the years, my version of Good Grief! is Oh My Heck!  Basically, none of us want to be accused of having a potty mouth.  Funny thing is, almost daily in kindergarten, my teachers had to wash my mouth out with soap

 

Silver Age Atom by Gil kane

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

 

Angelo Torres and Al Williamson

 

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
