Nick Fury VS Automobile by Jim Steranko

As we learn here, if the ped has any chance at all against the slick, speed'n auto, you're gonna need a suction cup

Gory Stories Cover by John Pound

Besides the alliteration appreciation in the title, I always dug see'n this image on the spinner rack at the head shops.  Acourse, I never bought it (no Corben), but I thought the cover was all that and a bag of chips.  It resonated with a fear me and my buds had had just a few years before, and it beat Stephen King's IT to the punch by fifteen years

Horizon Fanzine Shadows by Mike Kaluta

Hey, Russ!  More Shadows not done for the DC comic series (the tipped scales are even more weighed down)!  Does anyone know why Kaluta couldn't get in , say, like 20 issues of the comic like his buddy Barry Smith did with Conan?  Or even, say, like 11 issues like his buddy Wrightson did with Swamp Thing?  Seems like almost everything I've ever dug was short-lived and/or unpublished

Coupla Abraca-Dooms by Berni Wrightson

Never bothered with The Spectre #9.  It wasn't Marvel, the Wrightson cover was not my cupa, and it wasn't Marvel (the weird thing is onea my dopplegangers is a great guy my same age, who only acquired DC as a teen-course we've both spent this century extol'n the merits of all the publishers)










 

Conan VS Toth-Amon by Barry Smith

Yeah, yeah, these were up in the wayback (multiple fundundant times), but I love em, and that first image is a prime example of the notebook nonsense I been doing for 50-60 years

Skinny Iron Wolf by Howard Chaykin

First image reminds me of some of my fav baseball players when I go back and look at their rookie cards, but then Howie quickly bulked up his creation to the guy we know and love
