Still onea my all-time fav comic book covers. The Avenger, as the ad read, doesn't just fight crime...he destroys it! Dunno why, but I did not hang onto this

Another Mr. A by Steve Ditko
How can such simple lines be so captivate'n? The master of Spiderman, Doc Strange, The Creeper, and The Blue Beetle strikes again
Ferry Dust by Berni Wrightson
If you're being taken across this river (Styx) by this ferryman, then you are dust. Another fundundant image, but this one is biggerbetterfasterstronger (please embiggen)
Batman by Dennis Fujitake
First is the original, then how I first saw it as the backa some fanzine (an Amaz'n Heroes, maybe?). Said it before, but my delight with earlier Fujitake was all the spacemen and/or barbarians, not the superheroe thang
A Barry Smith I Completely Forgot!
Sheeeesh! Here's the design from the back of the Fantastic Islands Portfolio by Barry Smith. I had the seven hundreth signed copy I bought like forty-five years ago (that's a zerox of the plate I attempted to color), but I sold it fairly quickly, and forgot that amongst all the copies, I had copied the front and back of the big envelope it was in. Yesterday, I'm doing a recycling sweep through all my stacks, and see the first image again. I've posted the colored plates three times in the wayback, but never the nifty little square. It's like I sometimes say, I've forgotten more than most comic art fans will ever know
New Fanzine Art by Jim Pinkoski!
Yeah, yeah, just new to me. Here's another chance to win onea the Cap'n's Coveted Non-Prizes. In the wayback, I posted another Pinkoski Picture from the same fanzine, sooooo...your mission (if you decide to accept it, Mr. Phelps) is to tell me the name of that fanzine
