Steranko’s “Outland” Adaptation!

One of the greatest movie to comic adaptations is Steranko’s Outland.  It ran for six months in Heavy Metal.  Sadly, the adaptation has never been reprinted.  John Dell called the series “Steranko’s narrative masterpiece”.  Who could argue that?

Nick Fury 2025 by Steranko!

One of the reasons I fell in love with comics was Nick Fury by Steranko.  Although Steranko started drawing Fury in Strange Tales begining in 1965, it wasn’t until Nick Fury got his own title in 1968 that I discovered him.  I was floored.  Still am.

Here we are in 2025 and Steranko has released a new limited edition Nick Fury print.  Look at that wonderful art. No wonder Steranko is considered a living legend.

LOST MARVELS #1: TOWER OF SHADOWS! Featuring Jim Steranko, Neal Adams, Barry Windsor-Smith & More!

LOST MARVELS #1 contains some legendary artists and writers in stories that have seldom seen reprint.  Here’s the lowdown…

The never-collected horror anthology series featuring stories by Jim Steranko, Neal Adams, Barry Windsor-Smith, Stan Lee, John Buscema, and other Silver Age masters.

In 1969, with its revolutionary superhero line well established, Marvel took a chance on the kind of supernatural, EC-style anthology series that had been banned since the formation of the Comics Code in the 1950s. Tower of Shadows featured a staggering array of artists and writers, including Neal Adams, Jim Steranko, Barry Windsor-Smith, John Buscema, Gene Colan, Wally Wood, Stan Lee, Roy Thomas, John Romita, Johnny Craig, Marie Severin, Gerry Conway, and Bernie Wrightson, to name a few. Freed from the conventions of the superhero adventure, these creators brought their storytelling skills to a more quietly sinister genre, producing atmospheric gems of twisted suspense and sardonic horror.

Not only do these nine issues feature Marvel’s best creators working at their peak, but Tower of Shadows is one of the lost, never-collected Marvels. In the first of a new series of Lost Marvels, Fantagraphics and Marvel join forces to introduce these pages to a new generation of readers and restore this series to its rightful place in comics history. This gorgeous volume brings every Tower of Shadows story and cover to life in vivid color and features background and analysis by comics journalist Michael Dean.

Steranko’s Nick Fury – Lancaster or Douglas?

If you ever get a chance to meet Jim Steranko, don’t sleep on it.  Steranko is a master storyteller.  He is a legendary artist.  This Nick Fury piece by Steranko was one that he brought to New York ComicCon 2023.

Steranko has said that his Nick Fury was based on Burt Lancaster.  For some reason this Steranko Nick Fury headsketch reminds me of Kirk Douglas.  And that’s not a bad thing.
