The Rats In The Walls by Rich Corben










Definitely not the time of year for this, (sooo two months ago),  but this has been haunting me lately (last 40 years), so I thought I'd better.  Notice in the first two images how the closer Corb gets to draw'n himself, the closer he gets to Mort Drucker on acid.  The spinner racks at 7-11 were cool, but the spinner racks at head shops were frick'n

Kirby Unleashed by Jack Kirby








Okay, let me bend yer ear...I just got the Original Kirby Unleashed Portfolio from 1971, and, boy, are my arms tired!  What a grail--what a Lollapalooza!  John Morrow did a great job with the reprint from a few years back (much better than some other reprints, but don't get me started), but, wow, there really ain't noth'n like the real thing.  I have never (NEVER) seen such detail on onea my favs as this sucka has--just look at the pencils on the Watcher, or the embiggenned centerfold (sorry, but my scanner can't fit it all in at once)....this leads me to wonder why TwoMorrows hasn't given the masses the Jack Kirby Masterworks portfolio, but maybe it's in the works
