Suspended Reality Helicopter by Wally Wood

I know some guys used a lotta product on their hair back in the fifties, but, c'mon!  The choppers blades are spin'n, and nobody's hair is mussed?  Also, if you're using a rope ladder, couldn't you wait a moment until it lands and just step off?  My high school basketball nickname was helicopter.  I would hold both arms straight out from my sides and spin around, look'n for the ball

 

Crash Landing by Bob Kline

As Luke Skywalker would say, "I got a bad feel'n about this!"  Second image is how I saw it in the che great fanzine Anomaly #1, and third is somea the original art.  But when was it painted?  I cannae recall if it was onea the colored images on Bob's amazeballs Tweety Bird posts called Picture A Day, and I dunno how to see all that magnificence anymore

1981 Blackmark VS 1977 Blackmark by Gil Kane

Funny how neither The Comics Journal nor the fanzine portfolio mentioned the character's name




 

Psycho 7 Splashes by Jim Pinkoski and Dennis Fujitake

Just the other, I was post'n about the beauty presence of Fujitake in TBG, when Russ reminded me again that Skywald was doing a lot of fanzine-like stuff in 1972, including, amongst many of the usual suspects, Dennis.  The classic saying is, "you don't have to tell me twice," well, in my case, you usually do haveta tell me twice (at least).  Anyhoo, here's two awesome splashes off a eBay, but please see Russ' link for the whole she-bang.  Thanks, Russ!  Two great fanzine artists at their zeniths



 

Not King Kull by John Severin

As I've said in the past, the best Kull is a Severin Kull, and vicey-versa, the best Severin is a Kull Severin.  Well......this is right there with a Kull Severin AND a Severin Kull, methinks
