The Cover To Ditko Unleashed

...and then the cover to Ditko Unleashed



 

The Conan Portrait by Roy Krenkel

First is new on here, and the second is from the che great fanzine Infinity 2 (second page, naturally).  Maybe just me, but it feels like Roy drew this multiple times, just didn't always jot down who it was

Speak'n Of Calendars

Last post I was talk'n bout the non-existant Barry Smith calendar, but here's a coupla other nifty planners.  First is the Frank Frazetta current calendar, then the horse it rode in on, then my fav monthly image in this 2027 calendar, and the horse IT rode in on.  I believe that's the first Conan Fritz ever did, so next is the last Conan he did. After that, here's the Destroyer cover from the Fritz calendar 2 years ago, and the 2 foot by 3 foot poster that Wal-mart calls the Destroyer (a rose by any other name is still a Buccaneer).  Then we have the Jack Kirby cover to the 1977 Marvel calendar, then how Jack intended it, then a Kirby page from that calendar, and finally a John Buscema from that calendar.  This just in, apparently the Marvel Comics Memory Album calendar will now be released every fifty years

The Calendar Beyond Time by Barry Smith

Coupla beauts for calendar covers, but the thing is, 2003's does not exist.  Time may be a wave or stream, but sometimes the eddies seem to play havoc.  That reminds me:  as you may have noticed, I occasionally pepper these babblings with dad jokes.  Well, I told you a joke about time travel, but you will not be amused





 

Nick Fury, Desk Jockey, by Jack Kirby


Okay, office work is probly as important to SHIELD as a lotta other places, but I can see why stuff like this might get left out of an action-packed comic

Thor by Barry Smith




Only the first one is new on here, but I just realized I haven't gotten this Thor since I first lifted weights in the early 80s
