Barbaric Barry And Bob

At first thought, Barry Smith and Bob Kline may seem like an odd couple (The Odd Couple was a fav TV show when it came along.  I, natch, was the slob character.), but the two have a lotta similarities for me.  They came into my comic consciousness at the same time, 1970, and I instantly fixated on their art for no real explainable reason ("it's way cool").  I've never waivered on either one since then, and I'm always thrilled to see sump'n sump'n new to me by them.  These two images, in particular, had to be posted together.  In a stack of loose pieces of paper on the floor of my closet, they were one after the other in the middle of the stack, and besides both sport'n horned helmets and swords, I honestly don't recall if I've put them up before 

Another Weird and Wonderful Warren Wash by Steve Ditko

Please see my all-time fav ink wash by Ditko in the wayback under "Ditko Fantasy,"  or see a ton under wash or washes

 

Daredevil VS Sub Mariner by Wally Wood

Never really thought about it til now, but I only have 2 trad'n cards by Wally- this, and The Spirit.  Weird, cause onea my major geek-outs at the end of last century was trad'n cards, probly a three-way tie with Steranko, Wrightson, and Jack Kirby.  Anyhoo, search Daredevil #7 on here to see how fundundant this image was in the wayback

 

Two New Pictures by Mike Kaluta!

Yeah, yeah, just new to me.  They were nestled in a book at the library for twenty years (who knew?).  I call em Fantasy Foodtruck Flat and Griffin Meets Bigfoot

 

Geni Pants by Steve Ditko

Forget that the young Geni in the original ends up as grizzled as the Cap'n, but his blue pants turned red!  Reminds me of the diddy Don't It Make My Blue Eyes Red?  Allergies, maybe

 

Flash'n Swords! #1 Watercolor Rough by Frank Frazetta

Would there actually be two roughs of the same norseman (no sword, by the by)?  Hhhhhmmmm

 

New Six/Seven by Berni Wrightson!

Yeah, yeah, just new to me, and just the first three.  Teenage Berni art is just the cat's meow, I feel, and I was so pumped to see them.  If you know of more from 1966/1967 or thereabouts, please holla
