A two-pager by #Moebius called “Black Thursday” from Heavy Metal #9

First page of “Rest in Peace” by Reed Crandall in EC’s Terror Illustrated #1

Reading #BarryWindsorSmith’s Adastra in Africa. Love this era of his art

John Carter art by #WilliamStout

Spent some Xmas money on the Kurtzman Trump collection I stupidly didn’t get when it came out so am reading his Mad comics while I wait for it to arrive in the next few weeks. It’s been a while since I’ve gone thru them. Here’s Kurtzman’s cover for issue 1

Howard Chaykin supplies the back cover for Heavy Metal #9, and he also illustrates a short Len Wein-written story called “Fortune’s Fool” that seems to fit his swashbuckling space opera kick he was on at the time

The Hulk by #WilliamStout

The respective first pages of the four stories from MAD #1. Doesn’t get much more stacked than Jack Davis, Wally Wood, Bill Elder, and John Severin on art duties, does it? #ECComics

Slow Death #5 front page art by Dave Sheridan and back cover by Jaxon

Jack Davis cover for MAD #2. I always love his work, but in MAD he could really let loose

Here’s the four opening pages for the stories in #ECComics’ MAD #2. The all-star lineup from issue 1 - Jack Davis, John Severin, Wally Wood, and Bill Elder - is back for this issue too

#PaulPope cover for DC’s Strange Adventures anthology (2011)

A few pages from #BarryWindsorSmith’s Adastra in Africa. The amount of detail in these is insane

It’s a Kurtzman New Year as I’m giving Bill Schelly’s biography of Harvey a read as I go thru his MAD comics… of course, this is just making me want to reread all his EC stories

MAD #3 cover by Harvey Kurtzman

A few dino pictures by one of the greatest dinosaur artists ever, William Stout

MAD #3’s opening pages for the four stories contained in the issue - art by Bill Elder, John Severin, Wally Wood and Jack Davis. Again, Davis’ art is my favourite in the issue (although it’s pretty close!), but I love that opening image from the Lone Stranger’s POV

Just finished #PaulPope’s Total THB Volume 1, the first of three trades collecting his sci-fi series from the 90s. I’d never read it til now and nice to see his earlier work collected finally
