Whiz Wagon by Jack Kirby

Did you see the forty-car pile-up on icy roads in Texas?  Probably could be avoided if car manufacturers would make Jack the King of Production

Star Studded #18 Cover by Steve Fritz

It's been so long. even the first name of Steve is just a guess.  This is one of a handfull of great drawings by Fritz in the early seventies that made me think (much like with Bob Kline) that I was witnessing the birth of another great comicbook artist

New Batman by Jim Steranko!!!


Yeah, yeah, new to me that is...This art deco sketch seems much more detailed than the slew of insert sketches Steranko has done, and definitely made me think of the black'n white flyleaf again

Chandler by Jim Steranko





















If you embiggen the first two, we're good to go on the rest.  Sorry, Tony, but I was unable to find the scan from Comics Sketchbooks, although I've seen it, with Chandler striking a dramatic pose at a shoeshine stand.  I've had two great run-ins with shoeshine guys in Denver.  One was "I'm call'n you bumble bee, cuz you got three honeys! (I was walking with my three girls)" and the other was "Let me shine them Sketchers, and I bet you'll catch her!"  Ya gotta love the big city
