comick1 Posted December 26, 2008 Share Posted December 26, 2008 Never posted a GK before but thought I'd put up an item I scored nearly 20 years ago. I've been collecting other genres for a long time and many items have come and gone in the interest of scoring more things for my core collection, but this one has and will weather all of that.

tth2 Posted December 26, 2008 Share Posted December 26, 2008 (edited) Turoks have been pretty under-represented in this thread. Here's #36: Edited December 26, 2008 by tth2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tth2 Posted December 29, 2008 Share Posted December 29, 2008 I'm of the opinion that several of the Dell and GK Turok painted covers can hold their own against any comic painted covers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rodan57 Posted December 29, 2008 Share Posted December 29, 2008 I'd agree. As I am no Dell/Gold key scholar, I am wondering if the artists of these covers are well known? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
selegue Posted December 29, 2008 Share Posted December 29, 2008 I'd agree. As I am no Dell/Gold key scholar, I am wondering if the artists of these covers are well known? Yes, in general they are. Many of them are by George Wilson and Mo Gollub. I'm pretty sure most of the Dell Turok covers are Gollub (the ones with great dinosaurs). The first few Dr Solar are by Richard Powers. Even though there are lots of blanks or question mark credits at GCD, there are people there that know at a glance who painted which ones (not me). Yes, I wish they'd enter the data too.

Rodan, were you asking whether credits for the covers are known (how I read it), or whether the covers were done by painters that are famous in art circles (apparently how adamstrange read it)? If the latter, Richard Powers may be about as well-known as an illustrator can be with the exception of superstars like Norman Rockwell.

Jack I'm actually not a fan of George Wilson. I find most of his covers to be pretty mediocre. I wish I could sit down with stacks of Wilson and Gollub covers to really learn the difference. I think I usually prefer Gollub, but I do like Wilson's painted Dr Solar covers (3-7 only??) Jack Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jack Yes, I was asking what you thought I was and thanks for the information-- I notice that the label on the Turok #40, above, doesn't ID the cover artist as would a Marvel or DC.
