Orion VS Doc Martin Dyes by Jack Kirby



First is my exaggerated take on the original bright dyes, then the art as it exists now, then the trad'n card (hhhuhh? says Scooby).  Ton already up on here if you search Orion, but lately I'm fascinated by the aging process on these Dr. Martin dyes.  In this particular case, I dig the old, grizzled Orion.  Reminds me of someone I really care about....myself

The First San Diego Comic-Con Program Cover by Jack Kirby

In 1970, the first San Diego convention only saw 300 people, so I doubt the program had a big print run, but this image is big (#embiggen please)

Chicago Tribune Magazine by Frank Frazetta




Dunnae why I dig this stuff so much, but see'n The Berserker on newsprint makes me smile

Year and a half ago, I wished I could learn Art's last name so I could find him again (first saw his stuff in 1972).  Well, last night I learned his last name.  sweeeeeeeeeeeeeet.......Later that same day:  just added this cover by Tom Artis (see comments-thanks, Chris)
