steelcity Posted May 8, 2007 Share Posted May 8, 2007 Todays entry pays homage to a cover that had recently appeared in another comic: Of course, many years later Tom Baker gave up his career as Power Lad to take up role as the fourth Doctor Who!

I don't think so, to me it seems more like he is having fun by "re-working" some of those older coers into a newer issue. I really like the detail Curt puts into a cover...it seems simplistic at first and then you start really looking at it and you see that there is quite a bit to it.

selegue Posted May 10, 2007 Share Posted May 10, 2007 More DC celebrity humor. Sergeant Bilko 4, Nov-Dec 1957, from the popular TV show starring Phil Silvers. Cover (the previous owner knew that a little Vandyke on the colonel would make it funnier) And a good interior page with an Oksner hot babe secondary character A spin-off, Sgt. Bilko's Pvt. Doberman 8 from Aug-Sept 1959. Duane Doberman was played by character actor, Maurice Gosfield. cover: Splash panel with more Oksner girlies. Saturday Night Fever prototype! If this book appeals to anyone, I have a duplicate -- PM me! Did Fred Hembeck really revive Sgt. Bilko for Marvel in 1988? Jack Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
