The inking that he did for interiors on guys like Larry Lieber at the tail end of his career is so stylized and weird that it's hard to make out the artist underneath.

I'd love to see that- big Matt Fox fan- can you give any specific issues I could search for? His pulp covers are great also.

One of the first 3 PCH books I bought at the SDCC back around 1990. Just a fantastic issue inside and out. The Screaming Skull is awesome, and the The Hand Of Glory is, from what I've seen, my favorite Matt Fox interior work. And these came in the mail yesterday...

His style seems to be an obvious fit for weird monster and sci-fi interior stories, but I don't recall seeing much from him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
