The Colors Of The Fanzine Anomaly 3

The first two issues of this fanzine were, while wunnerfully printed , black'n white, and usually when young fanzine publishers stepped up to color, it was the cover.  Jan Strand, however, went genius on us, and had a Bob Kline colored picture a few pages in, and then a Rich Corben colored picture a few pages before the end, and they were the same piece a paper

Heads Will Roll by Berni Wrightson

Toll bridge, Troll bridge, sump'n sump'n in Seattle, rolltrolltoll.  Just another example why I ain't a poet.  First image is new on here, but it's not much clearer than the wayback version (heavy sigh)



 

Ed The Daredevil by Barry Smith



 

First image is from a fanzine interview with Barry, and the full verbage in that arrow was Interview Continued before I cropped, then my fav DD pose from issues 50-52

The Space Guardian by John Fantucchio

wow.  Just saw this ad for The Champion #7 fanzine in ANOTHER fanzine, and I'm lov'n that it had a Fantucchio I'd never seen, but acourse I want moremoremore.  Here's the other SG on here from the wayback, when I thought Steranko came up with him.  If I'm read'n right, though, Big John created this guy, and I'm hoping he's as abundant as Mysterious Hero.  If you can lead me to more, please holla



 

Black Bolt Business by Jack Kirby

First is another splash from The Silver Age Of Comic Book Art, then the image from the get-go

The Enemies of the Colony Splash by Wally Wood

aaaaand the best view of the centanks that came from that story (there was another centank earlier in the tale, but he was just a bobble head smok'n a pipe, and this guy looks like what a half man/ half tank SHOULD look like
