The Space Guardian by John Fantucchio

wow.  Just saw this ad for The Champion #7 fanzine in ANOTHER fanzine, and I'm lov'n that it had a Fantucchio I'd never seen, but acourse I want moremoremore.  Here's the other SG on here from the wayback, when I thought Steranko came up with him.  If I'm read'n right, though, Big John created this guy, and I'm hoping he's as abundant as Mysterious Hero.  If you can lead me to more, please holla



 

Black Bolt Business by Jack Kirby

The Enemies of the Colony Splash by Wally Wood

aaaaand the best view of the centanks that came from that story (there was another centank earlier in the tale, but he was just a bobble head smok'n a pipe, and this guy looks like what a half man/ half tank SHOULD look like





 

Ming The Merciless VS Flash Gordon by John Fantucchio

Oh, my heck!  When this post title has been up here before, it was always about the che great Collector fanzine cover, not this pic that;s been around since 1968 as part of a fanzine's photo spread from a convention

Father's Day by Jack Kirby

As a dad, I see elements of both these dads in myself.  Speak'n of dad-do you know why you can't run through a campground?  You can only ran through a campground, cause it's past tense (past tents).  Steranko once told a dad joke during a fanzine interview in the early seventies:  "I went to the doctor the other day, and he said I had Parkinson's Disease...and Parkinson had mine!"  Dark, but still a classic dad joke
