Fanzine Tarzan by Frank Frazetta


First is the image from I'll Be Damned #1, then from The Jasoomian #10.  Concentric circles from Tarzan's knife point or not?  I cannae decide

Put the last image up a lot (it's from The Studio book), but I dunnae think I posted the actual print

So the wizard is safe inside the circle, right?  But what about the rest of us?  I never understood why a summoned creature couldnae just go on a walkabout

This thumb from The Eternals makes me think of my favorite Thank You Note by Jimmy Fallon--"Thank you, hitch-hikers, for making me feel like I'm driving really well"

Coupla Wizard King Panels by Wally Wood








The End is an odd treasure, in that it is a 12 page story of The Wizard King world that is totally seperate from the graphic novel, much like The Wizard King serial in Witzend (if you like "compilations" as I do, the Witzend stuff is together in Woodwork).  First time I saw some of this was in the Warren mag 1984, but it was chopped to six pages and re-written as a psychopathic dream, not the wonderful Wizard King story at all.  Woody corrected the butchering by self-publishing the original in The Woodwork Gazette #2, but hardly any of us got to see it, until The World of Wood reprint series had it (then colorized in isssue #2).  The giant skeleton spanning the path Andif is walking on is in all three, as well as the intro (although reading the intro in 1984 makes me "feel like I'm taking crazy pills," as Will says in Zoolander).  Bonus:  here's another pic that coulda made the graphic novel


German Conan by Barry Smith

Always cool to see a less cluttered version of the great cover to Conan #4
