Decorating the Morlock Tunnels: Art under $500

210 posts in this topic

Occasionally one stumbles across good deals on Bronze Age art too. Here's half of a Kanigher/Glanzman story about a disfigured war bride, from GI Combat #255. The third panel on that first page has a paste-up which must have altered the figure somehow. Slightly over Morlock price for the bundle.

Did I get some more Morlock pieces? Yes, I did. Are they more tight modern pencils? Yes, they are. It's the work of Dheeraj Verma from Dark Horse's Conan the Slayer series in 2017. Three pages that summarize the whole issue:

Page 4: Conan and Octavia, minding their own business, strolling through the forest. It's a younger, lither version of the Cimmerian than the Schwarzeneggerian one in Marvel Comics. hey, what are these marks on the ground?

Page 11: Caught! Bad guys strike.

Page 18: Freed! Conan cleans house after unexpected aid.

I do like inked pages too though. Here's Thibert's ink of Barbieri's printed blue lines from Super Sons with Damien vs Talia:

And some work by Butch Guice and Mike Perkins from 2017 action series Amber Blake. They were drawn on four boards in landscape and then shrunk to two pages of published art. I cropped a bunch of white space around the first panel, which was alone on its original page.

Here's another entry in my "I like pencils" theme. It's Fernando Pasarin from Gail Simone's final issue on Batgirl. Barbara and friends in a giant slugfest.

I have absolutely loved almost all of the of the examples you've posted and have actually found newfound appreciation for some modern artists via your posts, but Fernando Pasarin's art is incredibly hit and miss in my opinion. There are a few issues of that Batgirl run where his art pretty much ruins the book for me.

Don't know anything about the series in which these Ediano Silva pages appeared, but the art looked nice, so I got a four page scene. Don't mess with a guy who can turn into a demon!
