uclapeterg Posted August 9, 2005 Share Posted August 9, 2005 Here's the last of them. (Until I scan some more) Thanks Jeffro, you`ve certainly breathed some life back into this thread. Great books and great scans! What model scanner do you use? It's an HP Scanjet 3400C. I picked it up 2-3 years ago at Office Depot for $50 if I remember correctly. I don't think HP makes this model anymore. I use the same scanner, too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aman619 Posted August 10, 2005 Share Posted August 10, 2005 Gil Kane inking his own work. Something we wasn't usually allowed to do. not until GL47. And he pencilled and inked the next few issues too!. I loved the release from Giella stiff brushwork. Kane on Kane is the best Kane inking!!

Aman619 Posted August 10, 2005 Share Posted August 10, 2005 Anyone else here reminded of the much later (but better known) "Flash of Two Worlds" cover? I was thinkin the same thing kemosabe, so I checkd it on Mikes. Flash 123 was September 1961 Fighting Forces #48 was 2 years earlier in August 1959, same month as Flash 108. that site is so cool.. Who IS Mike? Is he on the boards?? Sure wish he was. Somebody get in touch with him and lets wish real hard. Who knows, matbe he'll appear! Just like Neal Adams did!!

tth2 Posted August 10, 2005 Author Share Posted August 10, 2005 You should be asking where he buys his books so you can get some comics about real men and not about those guys in spandex. I figure you and your DC War crew have already got all the nice copies locked up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kane on Kane is the best Kane inking!! Good to see a fellow fan of Kane on Kane. There's some other stories/covers that he did from the different DC 50s titles. I was at dinner with Gil and Julie some years ago and he was still ribbing Julie about not letting him ink his own work. Julie wanted the productivity from the pencillers and he preferred the inks of Anderson/Giella/Greene over the more distinctive stylings of Kane or Infantino.

adamstrange Posted August 10, 2005 Share Posted August 10, 2005 Nice catch, Zonker re: Flash of Two Worlds. DC recycled quite a few cover designs, although usually done with the title controlled by a single editor. In this case, you have a Kanigher edited-book with a Grandenetti cover later used on a Fox-edited title by Infantino. My suspicion is that it might not/probably wasn't a swipe. On the Flash 123, you have to think of a dramatic way to introduce both Flash's on the cover. You want them in action (thus the falling girder) but not able to see each other (separated by a wall), drawn large enough to be distinguishable on the newstand, and done so that the kid looking to buy the comic knows more than the two Flash's. Looks like a good solution to me. Neal Adams is now lurking. Can we get Carmine on the boards? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Marvel wised up later on too. letting Gil ink his own Hulk covers, etc. I loved his linework. So refreshing after seeing all his other more "polished" inkers for so many years.

Kane on Kane is indeed great. I'm lucky enough to own a piece of original art from Marvel Team Up 13 and whoever inked him on that book just destroyed Kane's pencils.

143ksk Posted August 10, 2005 Share Posted August 10, 2005 (edited) I picked up a couple of new SA books in Chicago (well, actually a lot of new SA books, but most of them are Archies). I thought this cover was hilarious. "Krypto hates you!" Edited August 10, 2005 by 143ksk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
