Popular Post buttock Posted November 11, 2022 Popular Post Share Posted November 11, 2022 I was going to post all the Russ Heath Atlas war covers chronologically in the Atlas thread, but someone asked if I could start a separate thread so as to include other works of his. Sounds like a great idea to me, and I hope he and others will join in. To start things off, here are the first 4 war covers he did for Atlas. jimjum12, BuscemasAvengers, frozentundraguy and 12 others 15 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tth2 Posted November 12, 2022 Share Posted November 12, 2022 Great idea for a thread, and awesome books to kick things off! It's fascinating to see how "loose" his style was at the beginning. jimjum12 and buttock 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post Point Five Posted November 12, 2022 Popular Post Share Posted November 12, 2022 (edited) I've become a big fan of Heath's 1950s war covers... and I'm not even a war collector! His inking work/shadows/shading is breathtaking. This one is probably my absolute favorite, but there are many such gems.

I second that sentiment, and raise you a Heath War 31. damonwad, buttock, Chief1332 and 5 others 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post fifties Posted November 12, 2022 Popular Post Share Posted November 12, 2022 Let's not forget his contributions to the horror genre. He could produce some of the most terrifying cover illustrations in the PCH era. Chief1332, BuscemasAvengers, Point Five and 10 others 13 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
