Squa Tront Mail'n Envelope by Kenneth Smith

My last post, New Cover by Wally Wood (which was apropro dated April Fool's day, as it ain't a new cover) led to Russ providing, right there in his  comments, all of Squa Tront in all it's splendor to all of us (and that's not all-it's triple all!).  Now, I find out Squa Tront was originally mailed out to folks in illustrated envelope's!  Who knew? Not I, as I obtained #3 and #4 way after the fact.  This Kenneth Smith one is for issue #4 (I think), and if you seek Kenneth in the wayback, you know how much I dig him.  I'd be remiss to leave out the first time I knew of him, the cover of Phantasmagoria #1.  Fanzine on fanzine on and on, sooooo cool

 

New Cover by Wally Wood

Yeah, yeah, just new to me, but I'm glad I finally saw it!  They used onea the panels from my favorite Wally Wood story, the unpublished The Spawn of Venus.  Turns out it may be everybody's fav, judg'n by the thousands of views my waywayback post has gotten.  Loved it so much, I posted the entire story in three formats

 

Pencil Me In For Makkalet! by Barry Smith

I was so fired up for some new Barry Smith when Conan #19 came out, I rushed home, plopped on my basement bed with it, and just stared.  Dunno if I started to read it, but I definitely started to devour it panel by panel, and this top panel on page 15 freaked me out, and not in a good way.  I acourse had not even looked for or seen the letters page, which explained they had run out of time to submit to the printers, and Dan Adkins couldn't ink the rest of the issue from here on (could the incredible detail of this panel made it the stop'n point? hhhmmmm....)

 

Genocide Spray! by Jack Kirby

Onea my favorite things about da blog is when I can put up two or three versions of the same picture

 

Comicon Coke by Larry Todd

I can't remember last week, but just look'n at it, I think this was part of a page in The Buyer's Guide For Comic Fandom.  Wonderful illo that harkens back to a lota Todd's other aliens (#Moby Gleep #Broken Sparrow), but why did this one illo take three years to draw?  Among a bazillion other things, I woulda loved to chat with him about that

 

New Frank Frazetta!

Yeah, yeah, just new to me.  The actual paperback for Tarzan And The Lion Man has been in my stacks since I was just a pup, and the pencils were in a local adzine back when I was lion about my age (college), but I never imagined there was this che great rough.  Maybe just me, but Tarzan looks much better in the rough

 

A Hole In The Wall by Roy Krenkel

Another what is this is for the Cap'n.  25 years ago (March, 2001) I printed this offa Monster's tradeart site.  It probly even told what it is for/from, but I see it in my binders every onceina, and wonder.  If you know, shoot me a comment, please

Never mind!  This got me look'n for the elusive Scarlet Citadel Roy was working on at his passing, and I saw this as parta Sowers Of Thunder (more later)
