The Barrel-Chested Barbarian by Berni Wrightson

Another look at a whoisthisis by Berni.  Just saw the first, but the wrinkly one has been on here forever.  If you can lead me to a better image of it, please holla

Another In The Lower Depths by George Metzger

In the not-so-distant, I put up the first four, and folks said they hadnae seen em, so here's another one, from the fanzone Voice of Comicdom #14.  I dig that the title is made from girders, and at the other end, a woman is hav'n her tenth forbidden child.  I know a woman who's had 10, and she told me it just gets easier and easier, with the oldest ones help'n with parenting, errands, and chores

The Green Turtle by Jim Steranko

Yeah, Steranko has rendered a lotta great golden age heroes, but nothing compares to this guy.  His cape alone is worth the price of admission.  "Ten dollars gets you the whole seat, but you'll only need the edge!"  Ah, Monster Truck rallies



 

The Invisible Girl by Jack Kirby


If I'm grok'n correctly, this is weirdly wunnerful.  First is the 2nd printing of the Marvelmania Fantastic Four poster, with Sue Storm actually turn'n on (or off) her invisibilty.  It also looks a lot like the time Jack colored it himself (second image) with Reed's boogered arm, but beautifully understated colors.  Third is the first print'n, and it's always bugged me, with Reed's one sunburned cheek

The Scarlet Citadel? by Roy Krenkel

Dunno if this counts, but it is from the book Fantastic Worlds of Robert E. Howard, which Russ told me about in the wayback when I was grous'n about not find'n more than a title page rough for Roy's last hurrah, illustrating Howard's Scarlet Citadel.  Apparently, I must obtain this tome and see what's what, cuz this looks like it's actually Hadon of Opar

Who Is This Is by Wally Wood

Course, I wanna see this biggerbetterfasterstronger, but I'm just as thirsty to know who wore a clock on his chest.  My best guess right now is "Back at One Man"

Mr. A. by Steve Ditko

If you search Mr. A. on here, you won't find this one (okay, now you will).  The use of black'n white was truly incredible, but Ditko gave me the heebie-jeebies when talk'n about right and wrong.  I never tell a lie, except for what I just said, and I'm honest to a fault.  Then when I get to the fault, I fall in, and try to drag everything and everyone with me
