I read that John Fantucchio died recently. I remember how impressive his early fan art was. Anyone else have any? Keltner and Miller also contributed a lot.

John Fantucchio,great fan artist. Didn't he also retire from the CIA? It's in Bill Schelly's book on fandom.

Sorry to hear about John Fantucchio. Always liked his art.

I think I still have this one but not sure if I made this scan. The shading used by John is complex. Several patterns were used.

That's a favourite of mine.

 

Love the slightly offbeat look in the art.

Some art by Biljo. I don't know who colored this one but he (she) did a good job.

Everyone but the editors at DC, admired art by Ron Foss.

I think its because they wanted a certain House look in there early years. They didn't branch out till Neal Adams and others came along in the later 60's.

Does anyone have GB Love's EC Rocket's Blast Special? I'm sure that I have one socked back somewhere, but can't seem to locate it. As I recall there's a full page Old Witch illustration by a fan artist of the period that wasn't too bad. It certainly qualifies as early fan art.

I don't have the EC special.  I have another which was produced by a separate group. 

While digging through my fanzine box, I noticed the Comicollector issue published by Foss and Green.  The art which was added by Foss and Green was great.  I still smile when I see the intro.

Although Adam Link was a character from the pulps, his stories made great reading in Fantasy Illustrated.  Art was by D. Bruce Berry.  Cover is by Landon Chesney.
