Hepcat

There's only hearsay that it's the same guy.

Hmmmmmm. Twould seem that this is a person with absolutely no brain.

Yes. I would not have been able to resist. Too late now though. Maybe next time!

Hopefully he was lying when he said that he lives in my neck of the woods. Twould be embarassing were it true.

Hepcat, Speedy-D, DavidMerryweather, Goldust40, comicdonna While I'm glad to be at the top of the list, I don't know why I deserve such an honour. I'll grant that I can be an equal opportunity offender, but I really can't recall posting anything particularly provocative lately (other than my usual anti Captain America jibes of course). I'm insulted though that the mods think I need their protection. Hey, I can take care of myself! .

Two great treasures! (thumbs u

But are you not afraid that this thread will fade into oblivion in the face of the combined indifference of all the Captain America fans and other Marvel zombies on this board? And don't you want to see my scans of Reverse Flash, Captain Cold, Trickster and Mr. Element covers?

Carmine was the guest at the big Toronto Comicon about five years ago and hosted a fan forum. When I asked him about his change in style from a less realistic to a more exaggerated representational one, he answered that he was attending an artists' seminar when he was told that there was no point in an artist striving for realism in illustration since that could be better done by photography. It was this remark that caused an epiphany in his thinking. I don't like the cartoony expressions on the faces of Green Lantern and the Flash. All of a sudden they look bizarre/silly, most unlike the way Carmine had drawn them previously. Look at issue #131 in comparison: I think Carmine's run of Flash covers from #129 to #153 neatly encapsulated everything that I liked about DC's house style, and then his covers went downhill dramatically It's interesting that the identical thing happened to Gil Kane's Green Lantern covers at almost the exact same time, They're fabulous from about #19 to #44 - and then they decline rapidly..

Oh man! I've been looking for a #113 as nice as that for 25 years! Where did you get it? Collecting early Silver Age DCs takes patience but it can admittedly be frustrating.

Here are scans of my Green Lantern crossover issues: I'm wondering though what got into Carmine Infantino and Joe Giella when they drew the cover of #168. It's awful. Were they drunk or something?

Here are scans of a couple of nice dinosaur covers from my Lantern run:

Here are scans of a couple more of my World's Finest books:

Well if everybody else is going to flout the rules like that, I'm going to have to post scans of these two books (strictly in self-defence of course):

Perhaps the artist's never been near a girl either. I love all these cover though. Could someone please explain to me again why the "Golden Age" of comics is remembered first and foremost for superheroes?

Here are scans of three more of my Star Spangled War Stories:

Ahhhhh, the infamous cover where the femme fatale is somehow topless when viewed from the back!

Bad man! Here though are scans of three books that don't violate any of the stated rules:

Well I'm saying that's a pretty nice book but Adamstrange has decreed that science fiction books aren't welcome in this thread. Nice. Always liked this one. Has a little bit of everything going on with that cover. Not everything. Twould be much improved with headlights.

What were those L.A. residents thinking? They should never have tried to keep such a noble being imprisoned anyway!

Alright then. Here are scans of four of my much grittier books:

Here are scans of three of my Star Spangled War Stories:

I agree. And they did it for his horse as well:

That will change. Alright then. Here are three more, Detectives this time: Dallas Stephens copy

My #114 is as deep and bright a pink as the scan. Here are scans of a couple more of my World's Finest books:

Oh yeah, that's a nice one!
