Jim Steranko Fan Club Thread

[Moondog]

Someday soon I will be a member of this illustrious group!

Here's my favorite STERANKO page. It's from Nick Fury #2, page 5. It's scanned from the copy in my collection.

 

If I could own any page of original comic book interior art I wanted, it would be this one.

Great story telling! No words needed.

I love that Chandler print, Lee! I've only seen that image reproduced in a much smaller format. I'm assuming the print is ONE BILLION TIMES more awesome!

 

Thanks!

Steranko mags represent!

while Steranko clearly was a bad hass, there really isn't that much to show.

I've got to join ths club, I've had such a hankering for Steranko of late, I've even managed to convince myself I'll secure the #1 spot on the registry Nick Fury Set

 

But in my defence against the 9.9 #1, I've managed to pick up a few 9.8 Nicks recently, so I think I could be within shooting distance soon.

 

As for my favourite Steranko cover, thats a tough one, either NF #4, or #5. Both quintisential classic's in every respect! Serious second merit honours, issue's 1, 7, and 8!

 

MMM!

Can we be a member if we own his History of Comics? That would be my contribution to the thread (although I'm at work right now and can't take a pic).

Amen to that, bro. When I was 10, I sent away my $1.98 to Supergraphics of Wyomissing PA (sp)?, for "Steranko's History of Comics". They sent me back a form letter saying the price had gone up to $3 and could I send an extra $1. Well, as you can imagine, even $1 could buy 6 - 8 comics back then, but I summoned up my resolve and sent in the extra buck.

 

From that time on, I was hooked on comics. That History of Comics volume 1 turned me on to CC Beck's Captain Marvel, Jerry Robinson Batman, and of course Simon and Kirby's Captain America. They remain favorites to this day, some 35 years later.

 

In addition to his considerable artistic talents, Steranko is a good historian. I have subsequently bought as many of his books as I could find. My favorites are Captain America 110, Strange Tales 167, and Nick Fury 4 and 7.

Steranko only did covers for issues #1-7

in my opinion 1 of the 2 greatest Hulk images. the other being of course Cap #110

[MutantKeys]

[Rodey]

If and when I finish my X-men collection, I'm hitting up the Steranko stuff. That Nick Fury stuff is the bomb.

(Sorry about the poor resolution. This is a photo of my framed print. A pieced together scan would be better, but I don't want to take it out of the frame.)

Heroic Fine art has the print for just $40. It's well worth the money. A MUST HAVE item for Steranko fans! Tell James at HFA that LEE sent you.

Steranko was asked to do some conceptual paintings for Steven Spielberg for a new movie he was working on. Spielberg took the paintings and his -script to the studio and on that basis, they put the money up to make the movie.

 

It was "Raiders of the Lost Ark." Here is one of the paintings; perhaps the first visualizations of the character "Indiana Jones."
