Night Fighter by Jack Kirby
Methinks this is all we got, but, again, I would love to sit corrected (over fifty years before the Kick Ass movie, by the by)
Another (yes, another!) Death Dealer by Frank Frazetta
Still not sure why I missed this before (heck, I'm not even sure that I DID miss this before), but it's one of my fav DDs---a Fritz personal sketch just for fun, and no axe (axe me no questions and I'll tell you no lies)

Coupla Forgotten Works by Jack Kirby
Okay, maybe just forgotten by me. The first is a print that I saw advertised 15-20 years ago, but dinnae care for. After many moons, just saw it again, and like it better, proving once again that Kirby art is like pizza, even if you dinnae think it's the best, it's still pretty darn good. The second image is all that, and a mystery. This is a 1997 ad in Buyer's Guide for the unused cover of New Gods reprints #6 from 1984. Neither the published cover or this un are great shakes, but I dig Orion here, and I never saw it again! If you know of a better image, please let me know

Coupla Tarzan At The Dance by Frank Frazetta
Remember how I'm so broke I cannae even pay attention? Just realized Fritz drew Tarzan at the Dum-dum at least twice

Bucky Ruckus and the Christmas Caper by Wally Wood
Apparently, these are the first three days of a newspaper strip (!!!) by Wood that took the month of December in 1967. I was poor and 11, but somehow my divorced mom found a way to give me a bicycle that year, one with a banana seat and really high handlebars. If only I'd known to look into delivering newspapers! Oh, well....as Kevin once said, "Merry Christmas, ya filthy animals!"
Barbarian Sketch by Frank Frazetta
That's the title taken from this newsprint ad (maybe Buyer's Guide?). It also gave the dimensions (sump'n like 6X8 inch) and the price ($3000). Some high roller snatched it up, and I never saw it again
