TheEyeSees Posted January 24, 2008 Share Posted January 24, 2008 Very cool BZ!! Didn't know that Flexo was by Jack Binder in the first issue. I have to check my #3 to see if he did the art for that one too. Great stuff! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sacentaur Posted January 24, 2008 Share Posted January 24, 2008 Very nice, BZ (as always, thnx for the scans). Jack Binder is one the underrated GA artists, along with Don Rico (check out this Rico splash from Silver Streak 13): Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If that were aimed at someone else I would find it very funny, but as it is I find it very offensive. Funny, but offensive. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BangZoom Posted January 24, 2008 Author Share Posted January 24, 2008 BZ...do you have a KDF v1/10 you can scan and post.

BangZoom Posted January 24, 2008 Author Share Posted January 24, 2008 What about Mighty Man? He started flexing in AMan 12 I think. bm I just reread the story in issue 12. Mighty Man could grow taller than a building or shrink himself down to the size of a mouse, but he really wasn't elastic like Plastic Man or Flexo. Not unless he gains that power in a later issue.

BangZoom Posted January 24, 2008 Author Share Posted January 24, 2008 Here's a couple of pages from The Shark story in Amazing Man Comics #15. Offhand I can't recall seeing any other stories from this time period that utilized gray tone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sacentaur Posted January 24, 2008 Share Posted January 24, 2008 Here's a couple of pages from The Shark story in Amazing Man Comics #15. One of the better non-Everett Centaurs IMHO (neat cover by Glanz too): Offhand I can't recall seeing any other stories from this time period that utilized gray tone. Interesting thought - I seem to recall seeing something (Everett?) but can't pick it from my brain this early in the morning. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BangZoom Posted January 24, 2008 Author Share Posted January 24, 2008 Thanks, Adam. I wonder why gray tone wasn't utilized more often? It looks really nice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

adamstrange Posted January 24, 2008 Share Posted January 24, 2008 Offhand I can't recall seeing any other stories from this time period that utilized gray tone. Bill Everett's Sub-mariner origin. Thanks, Adam. I wonder why it wasn't utilized more often? It looks really nice. I love Everett's story and the one by Raboy in Green Lama 7. I believe that the artists are using Craftint or some similar paper which is more expensive and probably not provided by the company. Given how fast the artists had to work (and how cheaply they are paid), I suspect you had to be someone that wanted to do something extra artistically for your own satisfaction because no one else cared. The artist has to change up their style so it's not a slam dunk to switch from line drawing to a painterly style. It makes me more all the more grateful for those artists that put forth the extra effort. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BangZoom Posted January 24, 2008 Author Share Posted January 24, 2008 Scrooge posted scans to Mac Raboy's story a few months ago. I'll try to find the link to it. In the mean time, here's a peek at the cover. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
