In the Shadow of the Atomic Age 6 6

thanks for posting, I might have to get some airboys!

Thanks everyone. That story was outstanding. Later in the run, the art chores are taken over by Ernie Schroeder who died last week (1916-2006) Ernie retired from comics in the 1950's to run his own marina. I find it nice to post a story at sea to honor his work in the industry. This is not sleek as Kida but it has its own energy and I find Schroeder can well establish a scene with few lines. I particularly like the across page tier of Airboy on the beach with the schooner in the distance. This story is from the book I received yesterday in the mail and is typical of the later Airboy run.

Nice book. I see the chains but what are those mines/spaceships hanging down from?

A. The logo.

B. Same thing that Spider-Man's web swings from.

C. Same thing that Daredevil's cable swings from.

D. Wonder Woman's invisible plane.

Scrooge,

 

I just got around to reading more of this thread. Thanks for posting. I especially liked the last Airboy story.

[adamstrange]

I like the romance pages. The first one looks like Ruben Moreira (sp?).

It does too me as well. OSPG lists Moreira in other issues of the title not this one but it's him.

I like the romance pages.

 

You seem to be the only one as predicted.

 

We all remember Marvin Stein as a decent utility player in the industry, never great but generally solid. At times, Marvin did outdo himself as in the Lazo Kid in Prize Comics Western # 91 (courtesy of blutobc via eBay) - Here's a sample page on that job -

Very nice swampy action sequence!

I can't remember where I put the previous Frazetta story from a week or so ago, so I'll put this one here.

 

I got in today a so-so copy of Durango Kid # 15, that sneaky Western / Horror cross-over cover -

 

and it does contain a Frazetta job, not his best unfortunately ...

[adamstrange]

May not be great Frazetta, but too shabby either!

Who else could personify the Atomic Age then that nasty Commie... The Yellow Craw....

 

No, not "Craw"..... CRAW!!!!

[ciorac]

Cool book Bill.

[AtlasFan]

Cool book Bill.

 

Thanks Bill!
