Wonder Boy brutally Kamphausened 15000+ posts Joined: Sep 2001 Posts: 25,308 Likes: 37 A glorious bold new America	Originally Posted by Wonder Boy A nice Byrne page, from sometime during his FF run. If I've seen this one before, I'd forgotten it. Possibly a poster Marvel released back then. I finally found where this originated from. It was the double-page centerfold (in black and white) of FANTASTIC FOUR CHRONICLES, the second issue of Fantaco's CHRONICLES series in 1982. https://www.mycomicshop.com/search?TID=304161 In a time before the internet, these issues were a really useful resource, with a lot of great history of each series, interviews of writers and artists, complete checklists of credits for every issue and series the characters appeared in, and a lot of great pro and fan pin-up pages and covers. Sometime in the mid-1980's Marvel also released a color poster version of Byrne's centerfold. Marvel's leadership became jerks to Byrne in late 1985, from the moment he announced he was leaving Marvel to do Superman, so the poster must have come out sometime previous to that, in 1983-1985.

Wonder Boy brutally Kamphausened 15000+ posts Joined: Sep 2001 Posts: 25,308 Likes: 37 A glorious bold new America	Superman as a symbol of traditionalism and American exceptionalism, must be pretty schizophrenic to possibly share the same brain as far-left liberal reporter Clark Kent. But I'm saying that envisioning Clark Kent as a reporter in the modern era, not that of the 1930's when he was created, or the 1940's, 1950's, 1960's, and 1970's. A reporter in the modern era is a completely different beast. There's also the possibility that Clark Kent in the modern era could be a closeted conservative, keeping another secret identity among his liberal peers in the newsroom. Or conversely, I haven't read a Superman title in close to 20 years, but liberal weenie writers have probably re-booted the character as a woke liberal, in which case he'd fit right in a modern newsroom, joining his fellow reporters in an internal New York Times e-mail chain bashing and calling for the resignation of any editor that might be so daring as to give equal time on an editorial page to someone like conservative-republican Senator Tom Cotton. We really need a Superman to save us from that...

There were 24 books total in the series, 12 with covers by Neal Adams, and 12 with covers by Boris Vallejo. But then I count 17 covers by Adams in these images, possibly more in the series were later replaced by Adams covers in a later printing, or were unpublished. I have some, not all of the books. It's nice to see the whole set of covers together finally. I first saw them as the Sal Quartuccio (S Q Productions) NEAL ADAMS PORTFOLIO, set A (1-4), set B (5-8), and set C (9-12), in a larger 11" X 14" size and caption free. The above image is from the portfolio cover for set A. I bought these roughly 40 years ago from Bud Plant.

A nice art print of Will Eisner's The Spirit, titled "River of Crime", released by Kitchen Sink in 2004. Signed and numbered by Eisner, there were only 150 released. I'd gladly pay the 150.00 price, if it were still available. Or if it were available in an unsigned version. It also has the distinction of being the last art print released by Eisner before he died. I met Eisner at multiple local conventions over a 30-year period. Eisner lived in Tamarac, FL, a little northwest of Fort Lauderdale. Here's an oversize black and white version: https://i.pinimg.com/originals/f1/4d/de/f14dde255a39a48bba46c698dd3326b3.jpg I'd be thrilled to have it in either form.

A great limited edition print by Charles Vess, part of a 2-print set, titled "Purrfect Memories", published in 1988.. A really fun pairing of Spiderman with the Black Cat. I don't recall ever seeing it listed. You can see on the image that it was a signed/numbered limited edition, signed by both Charles Vess and Stan Lee, and limited to 2500 copies. This may have coincided with Vess's SPIDERMAN: TIME SPIRITS hardcover graphic novel (Marvel graphic novel 63, in 1990). There were several other Spiderman prints by Vess also.

I've looked back on this poster-page of the Marvel heroes, with costumes that span several eras, as a pretty representative sample of his work. Like the earlier pages posted here, this is (or at least was) one of the duplicate pages you can purchase inexpensively on his own website, if still available. http://arthuradamsart.com/artwork-sale

Another of my favorites from Adams, his 1985 cover for the X-MEN: HEROES FOR HOPE benefit book. I was lucky enough to get to keep the 11 X 17" promotional poster from my local comic shop owner when it came out. I don't know why he was willing to part with it, and give it to me for free, no less. But I'm so glad he did, I've enjoyed it for many years.

If I were to nit-pick, my only complaint, as with most European artists, is that his work is a bit rough. As opposed to the decorative linestyle of , say, Wrightson or Adams or Steranko or Windsor-Smith. I think my favorite of Manara's work is his GULLIVERA graphic novel. That was reprinted in its 64 page entirety in the July 1997 issue of HEAVY METAL.

Hey, what's not to like? https://vocal.media/geeks/a-message...ized-superheroines-aren-t-being-censored Man... 80 years of "good girl art" in comics, and THIS is what upsets the woke crowd ? It just seems like a very contrived and made-up controversy. The initial image I posted from Bleeding Cool is at least temporarily down, but you can still view a smaller version of it in the new link, with some context that it was drawn by Manara to oppose censorship. The initial Spider-woman variant cover (that got a small vocal group of "woke" nutcases upset) is ridiculously tame. And even the second "Cho !" one Manara gave to Frank Cho in person, to promote opposition to censorship, is still playfully suggestive and nothing to get upset about. The Marvel-commissioned and published variant SPIDER-WOMAN cover in question, from 2014 : And Frank Cho, with the anti-censorship page handed to him by Milo Manara, during Cho's convention-room censorship discussion:

There were quite a few talented "good girl" artists on VAMPIRELLA in that era, including Gonzalo Mayo, Auraleon, Ramon Torrents, Estaban Maroto, Jose Gonzalez, and others. Most discovered and recruited from either Spain or the Phillipines. VAMPIRELLA (1969-1982 series, Warren) https://viewcomiconline.com/vampirella-1969-issue-44/ Despite many revivals in the 1990's and forward, none of them matched the consistent assembly of talent and decorative linework of the earlier Warren run. And please, better no color, rather than AWFUL coloring, as is the norm in the Harris published issues. There's an occasional wonderful surprise by the likes of Arthur Adams (in CREEPY 1993 FEARBOOK) in the Harris run. But few and far between.

A lesser known cover by Simonson, but still one of my favorites, for SECRET CITY SAGA # 0, in April 1993. And even better, an interior 8-page origin story by Simonson. Simonson is one of the few who did work on Kirby characters, where I felt Simonson's work, like so few other artists expanding on Kirby concepts, is as good or better than what Kirby would have done. This is a great little origin story, that covers 15,000 years of time in the span of 8 pages, telling the story of an advanced civilization that chooses to end their civilization, to make room for the emerging human race, amid what appears to be a foretold global electrical / wind storm/ earthquake that destroys their civilization. This is a recurring theme in Kirby's work, such as ETERNALS, where civilizations rise and fall and are completely erased and unknown to the next civilization that rises. Whether MANHUNTER or THOR or X-MEN/TITANS, or ORION, Simonson has a tremendous dynamic energy to his work, that mirrors the power of Kirby's art. But Simonson has a style completely his own and is not an imitation of Kirby, unlike so many others. The remaining issues of SECRET CITY SAGA 1-4 are by Ditko, would that they could have been done by Simonson as well. But it's also interesting to see how Ditko, Heck and Severin handled the same characters, in what was essentially a brief reunion and resurrection of the 1960's Marvel house style and creators.

Neal Adams (BATMAN 227, Dec 1970) Improving on the already classic Bob Kane cover (DETECTIVE COMICS 31, Sept 1939).

It reminds me of artist Jose Ladronn from the 1990's/early 2000's. An expired image, here's a new one of the same image:

By fan artist Rudi Franke, who was much more visible in the 1970's and early 1980's period. His work was frequently seen alongside artists like Lela Dowling, Frank Cirocco, Ken Macklin, and other artists who originated from the San Francisco bay area. I'm less familiar with his work outside of comics, I suspect he also did fantasy art for illustrated books and SF/fantasy pulp magazines. He did a lot of work for comics fanzines, and also had several advertised portfolios and prints. I love the name FUTURE GOLD for a comics fanzine, implying the future value and appreciation of the books and art we all love.

This was the cover, and also as seen here, the captionless back cover. Here it is in black and white.... And the final version in color....

Maybe for a pin-up, or unused house ad for the title. I first saw it in black and white in Two Morrows' MODERN MASTERS: MICHAEL GOLDEN book, along with a number of other previously unpublished Golden pages.
