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)

Long Ago And Yet To Come by George Metzger

Here's another great picture from the comic that gets my nomination for the longest title:  Airships of Atlantis Discover...Mu The Land That Never Was (Or Was It?)  Actually, the "or was it?" part is just in my head, but it's still a REALLY long title.  Now, if future history serves me correctly, I believe Atlantis was/will be an island nation just west of the mediterranean, and Mu was/will be an island nation just east of present day Hong Kong.  Interesting thing about directions:  if you're travel'n east, you will always be going east, and going west, you're always going west, but if you travel north or south, eventually you'll be going in the opposite direction.  Things that make you go hhhmmmmm...
 

Watercolors For A Buck by Frank Frazetta!

Yeah, yeah, new book that's just new to me, from near the begin'n of the century, and then another coupla takes on the image Fritz may have gone most fundundant on with his watercolor passion.  Even on here, there's bunches more of his vary'n watercolors applied to this unused (!) Buck Rogers cover, so I'm just wonder'n how many total there are, and have they been collected in a tome?  If you know sump'n sump'n, please holla

Before There Was Star Hawks by Gil Kane

About a decade before Star Hawks, Kane did this Cap'n America, and gave Cap an amazeballs ride that woulda fit smoothly into Star Hawks (maybe THAT shoulda been his name in the Marvel credits-Gil "Smooth" Kane)

New Cover by Jack Kirby!

Yeah, yeah, just new to me, but my favorite part about doing a new cover with it mainly the cover of Fantastic Four #72-it looks just like the vintage cover itself, even the colors.  I also dig the recent comics on the spinner racks, like Conan #1 and Swamp Thing #1, for the same reason.  Retro is the way to go!  (I feel like I think and sound like Big Bear sometimes, but luvit)
