Just bought my first few Wings. This is the splash from #105 (and, yeah, I wish it had better PQ too):

I think I use to like you Andrew.

 

Now I'm not so sure.

 

:jokealert:

 

Great book, regardless of PQ.

 

Just a representative sample or looking for a run? The US dollar is rather weak at the moment :baiting:

 

Wings had some bloody "splash" panels.

Such a cool splash! What issue is that from?

I think that bloody splash was from Wings 35 and it is signed by Lubbers. A lot of earlier work on Capt. Wings looks like Baker art but I thought he started with Jumbo 69.

Nice page, BB.

 

Sometimes the art waiting to be rediscovered in G.A. comics is action packed wonderful like that one and sometimes it's incredibly strange like this oddball story from Stars and Stripes. lol

One of my favorite "behind the curtain" images is Charles Peales' self-portrait from 1802.

"The Artist in His Museum"

 

The original is located at the Pennsylvania Academy of Fine Arts in Philadelphia and it is stunning. Huge and beautiful!

Love those Eerie pulps. Does anyone remember where this St. John's illo came from. Just noticed it in my files but don't have a hard copy.

Date Stamps :cloud9:

 

So do you have any date stamps on double covers? That would be a quadruple treat :)

 

I don't think I've ever seen a double cover on a pulp magazine. (shrug)
