Two New Pictures by Mike Kaluta!

Yeah, yeah, just new to me.  They were nestled in a book at the library for twenty years (who knew?).  I call em Fantasy Foodtruck Flat and Griffin Meets Bigfoot

 

Geni Pants by Steve Ditko

Forget that the young Geni in the original ends up as grizzled as the Cap'n, but his blue pants turned red!  Reminds me of the diddy Don't It Make My Blue Eyes Red?  Allergies, maybe

 

Flash'n Swords! #1 Watercolor Rough by Frank Frazetta

Would there actually be two roughs of the same norseman (no sword, by the by)?  Hhhhhmmmm

 

New Six/Seven by Berni Wrightson!

Yeah, yeah, just new to me, and just the first three.  Teenage Berni art is just the cat's meow, I feel, and I was so pumped to see them.  If you know of more from 1966/1967 or thereabouts, please holla

 

Eyes Of Mars Page by Mike Kaluta

First published thing ever, 20-year-old Kaluta had this second page (with the first page and other pages) published in the fanzine Graphic Showcase.  EOM was in the first 3 issues, and sump'n sweet had arrived on the comic art scene

 

Dig'n Me Some Steve Ditko

This is so spot on for me.  Years ago I was dig'n holes for fence posts, when I hit a massive rock.  As I worked to dig it out, I discovered it was a boulder (makes sense, as I was dig'n in Boulder).  When my hole got to be about this size, I decided to cut a post shorter so it looked like it was as deep as the other posts

Atlas Shrugged by Jack Kirby

Lots a Atlas up on here in the wayback, but not this one, at least not where it was called Atlas.  It's nestled in a coupla my Valentine's posts amongst a plethora (some folks tell me it's nice when I use that word-that it means a lot to them) of the sketches Jack did for Roz for her black book Valentine.  Even those don't show the fineline pencils like this (please embiggen), though
