If you ever wondered how much Ol' Groove loves the handiwork of Walter Simonson, just check out any of the 66 (this will make 67) posts he's featured in here on DotGK! There's a reason the Marvel Bullpen nick-named him "Wondrous"!

Black and White Wednesday: Marie Severin Cover Designs
Check it out, Groove-ophiles! Back during the early 70s, Marie Severin designed many a cool cover for Mighty Marvel, some of them downright iconic. Yeah, some were eventually drawn by the likes of the Brothers Buscema, Neal Adams, and Jack Kirby, some she drew herself, but all of 'em are pretty far-out. Enjoy this behind-the-scenes treasure trove, baby!

Len Wein, R.I.P.
Well, another of our Groovy Age greats has left us. Word got out early yesterday (Sunday, 9/10/17) afternoon that Wein had passed Sunday morning. Wein's health had been an issue, he'd ben on dialysis for some time. He was 69. But of course, we want to remember and celebrate Len's joy in creating comics, a joy that shone in most every page he wrote..a joy that was shared with all of us who read and appreciated his work.
To me, Len Wein as one of the top-notch writers of the Groovy Age. I was never disappointed to see his name in the writer's box, and I was rarely disappointed after I closed a mag he'd scribed. Many of my all-time favorite comics, more than I can share here, were written by Len Wein. Not just the stories featuring his most famous creations (Swamp Thing, Human Target, Wolverine, Storm, Colossus, Nightcrawler), but also the truly awesome runs he had on characters like Justice League of America, Batman, Phantom Stranger, Defenders, Spider-Man, Thor, Fantastic Four, Korak, Deadman, Zatanna, Demon...ah, I could go on and on, but why not just share these splashes from some of his most famous and my most favorite comics by Len Wein. (And this is just his Marvel and DC work. I'll probably add some of his work at Warren, Skywald, Gold Key, and others in the not-too-distant future. I should also mention that he was a top-notch editor, most famously on New Teen Titans and Watchmen in the 1980s.)
R.I.P., Len Wein, and thank you so, so much.
