Bullseye by Jack Kirby

Said it before so I'll say it again:  Bullseye brings me great joy.  Although Big Bear gives him a run for the money, I find Bullseye to be Jack's happiest character.  First image was never up here (I believe), the Bullseye trad'n card.  Then the lousy scan I made from my Black Book Valentine to Roz before ship'n it off to an eBay customer at the turn o the century.  Then my fav Kirby drawing of Bullseye, then a detail of my fav (please embiggen), then the drawing that started this very blog

 

Strange Tales #132 Cover by Steve Ditko

.............and the cover in our dimension, as mostly done by Jack Kirby.  Odd thing is, I love the cover Jack did 2 issues earlier (specially w/o the Torch and Thing as Beatles), but the Kirby part of 132s cover  may be my least fav art ever

A day later (and a dollar shorter) here's the page from whence came the mock-up, and that same story's splash, also rock'n the magic bolts and contorted fingers and groovy little statues

 

Swamp Thing #3 Cover by Berni Wrightson

Have I groused enough about get'n rid of my hardbound Look Back?  Miss it like crazy

 

Coupla Forgotten Shadows by Jim Steranko

Forgotten by me, that is.  In the wayback, had up lots of the paperback covers, and lots of the unseen shadows, but (except for the fifth image) I never got around to these two

 

Stuntman #3 by Jack Kirby

Just realiz'n I shoulda saved this post for the first day next month, cause "April Fool's!  There is no Stuntman #3!"  Another quizzical heart-breaker, since the first two Stuntman comics were amazeballs.  sigh.  The bookends here are the covers of The Jack Kirby Treasury (first my copy that embiggens to mercurtroid, then a "nice" copy of the cover), which contained the only colored work I've seen of this non-book

 

 

Coupla Martians by Berni Wrightson

Just another riff on onea Berni's jazziest subjects-Tars Tarkas (well this one also has HG Wells as well).  See much more by search'n Tars on here (as well as my other favs doing their take on the big kahuna)

 

See'n Red

Yeah, I was about to do onea my "Folders Full" posts, when I noticed a disproportunate number of rojo-tinged renderings in my folders.  Nice to end with Omega
