Barks obit. He is just about my favourite comic artist of all time. And, as a very minor aside, there is another strip by me inside.

And if Barks is not my favourite all-time, it would have to be Kirby.

There it is. The face that launched a thousand comic book titles.

Kent Burles did the best Planet of the Apes comic.

They are calling Reed Crandall a legend, sort of like Robin Hood, I suppose. Whatever the case he was one of the very best draftsmen comics has ever seen and that was largely in a time when you didn't have to be even a fair draftsmen to get work.

[That Ron Dude]

 

In the early sixties he was the most popular artist in comics, an innovator.

"Jim Warren's Creepy and Eerie." That seemed to be the consensus of everyone who worked for him.

The Spirit's secret identity was Jian Ghomeschi.

The cover is so classic that it makes other classic covers look run of the mill.

One of the best series of comics ever.

[That Ron Dude]

 

Only Julius Shwartz or Swartz or maybe Shwwartzzz would have published a cover like that.

If you can't put EC on the cover, there is always X-Men.

Who thought that people would still be writing about this comic book 40 years later?

This issue just couldn't have sold too many copies. It is time to fill that hole in your collection.

This was my favourite title when I was too young to realize the concept of a favourite title. To me, they were all variants of Superman, my favourite character.

I've never read a Mac Raboy comic, but judging by the covers, he sure could draw.

One of the best images Kirby ever imagined.

[That Ron Dude]

 

I remember seeing it at Shere's Variety when I was a widdle kid. The image is taken from an SF magazine cover. It sure had me entranced.

Fortunately, I was barely born when kids brains were really being rotted by comics. Imagine the shape I would be in today had I been reading them.
