I think so many comtemporary and underground comic artists owe a lot to Wolverton (not that this is a new observation...)

 

I can see where his work must have been popular with collectors in the late 1960's!

And Frazetta reminds you of Sam Keith.

 

I actually heard someone at a con make that comment.

Mark Schultz maybe...

Both of them have done Frazetta-like work. Of the two young artists, I prefer Schultz.

I've made a comment like that before (might have been me ). Some of his backgrounds do resemble some of Frazetta's work........but just the backgrounds.

 

He's no Frazetta though!

My point might have too obscure. It was that when I compare one artist's style with another's, I give credence to the earlier artist. So, it's not Frazetta's work looks like Mark Schultz's but the reverse.

I understood what you were getting at, I just don't acknowledge you when you pick nits.

Not to derail the thread, but here's a recent pick-up. Keen Detective Funnies #10 (3rd issue), Church copy. This was on my short list of "Could end up being the last Centaur I have to find" Centaurs, so I'm thrilled to cross it off.

That's a book I might not spend any time looking at if it was a normal, beatup copy. But that one?

It's insanely nice in-hand. You may not believe this (I am not sure I believe it myself) but I think it's as impressive as...oh wait, he hasn't posted it yet.

I'm sorry, Win, but............is there any way that booked couldn't derail any thread?!?

 

 

It's drop-dead beautiful!

Good for you, Win - lovely book.

 

I know very little of the cover artist, Maurice Gutwirth. I do find him popping up in GA books here and there, and his technique and shading is rather interesting.

 

Centaur fever! (there is no cure)...

Nor should there ever be! If there's ever a fund drive.......just say "no!".........NO!

holy jumping moose knuckles. did Edgar read that book, or did he just stick it in a pile somewhere?

 

freaking sweet

Congrats on the KDF #10 , CentaurMan... you must have some strong connections, as you have been unearthing some insane Centaurs lately. Great detective work!!! Keep them coming!!

 

...and the list grows ever smaller...

 

[CentaurMan]

Here's the Church copy to the very first issue of KDF. Thanks to Stephen for brokering this deal between myself and the owner of these early KDF's. I've now got Church copies of the first 3 issues plus 3 later issues. It's funny, because the earliest Church KDF's are in immaculate condition, while the later ones are mid-grade double-slash 2nd hand copies.
