Walt Simonson's birthday was this past Wednesday. 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"! Here's a huge pile of spectacular Simonson masterworks for you to ooh and ah over--then go check out all those other posts to give it all some context--and yourself added joy! Happy 74th, Mr. Simonson! Groove City loves you tons!

Under the Covers! Splash Down!
Hey, Kids! Comics from 50 Years Ago!
July 13-16, 1970
Groovy Age Splash Page of the Week
Groovy Age Spotlight On...Splashes from Iconic Groovy Age Comics!
Covers! We love 'em! Many, many, many fans buy comics based on (and often just for) the covers. BUT...many, many of us dig the insides, too! So, Ol' Groove thought it'd be a cool change of pace to revisit some of my favorite (you can share your favorites in the comments if'n ya wanna) "iconic" Groovy Age mags via their splashes instead of their covers! So, here are 10 splashes from comics that slayed me, one per year from 1970-1979 (yeah, I could've done 1971-1980, or whatever, but... whatever! ;D) Remember: these are from comics are iconic to ME. They may not mean a thing to you, but that's the fun of lists like this: deciding whether to applaud or slap your forehead and wonder "Why'd he pick THAT one?" Oh, and it's not necessarily the splashes that are iconic, but the books that they, well, splash on. Have fun, Groove-ophiles!
