DescriptionFor over six years this page has been the top of my want list.I have made offers to different reps and finally got lucky at the last Comiclink auction. I guess this is a grail acquisition, and I am looking forward to reuniting these book matched pages prominently on my wall. According to Warren checklists, the last Crandall original story they published. Presumably his last published comic book/fantasy work, it would be interesting to speak to anyone who is personally familiar with his last years in the field. A true giant, deserving of his reputation and fame, I feel so lucky to have this beauty at last! Social/Sharing |

Crandall's last years in the comic field were very sad, just like Wood's, but obviously he poured his soul into this story. As we know first hand Kelly, the female and topless statues were used generously in this story. Big congrats.

I think you have put your finger on a couple of really important points Lars. I nearly shed a tear when I discovered Warren airbrushed away the real beauty of these pages for publication. That kind of editorial censorship probably contributed to juvenile delinquency, if you ask me.

I was going to bid on this beauty, but am glad it went to you. Congratulations!

When was this published, Kelly? I found a Crandall piece in a color 1972 Marvel Comic book. Was it "Fear?"

Wonder if I can get near that issue? One of my favorite titles. Sounds like Crandall went to work for Pizza Hut in 74 and before long suffered a stroke. Sad turn for such a major talent. Proud to be a Jay Hawk thanks in part to people like Crandall and Benaka!

Fear #10 was 1 of the first comic books I ever bought. It was the 1st color appearance of Man-Thing. Crandall's not in it. The story with Jay Hawk was inked by Bill Everett using another name. Was that it?

Was that it?yeah, #9 was one of mine. The other Crandall credit (assuming Jay Hawk was a sobriquet) of that period I spotted on the unofficial handbook listed Lee as a writer, had to have been a reprint since he stopped writing in 71. The story in #10 credits Len Wein as writer so I assume it was not a reprint, and without seeing the art Jay Hawk sounds like something they would code name Crandall.

my mistake, Wein is obviously the Man-Thing story, the backup story was Allyn Brodsky, and Jay Hawk was a pseudonym for Jack Katz, a Brooklyn product.

Werewolf, yes. That's probably the Crandall story I was referring to.

It's beautiful. Weirdly, I look at the figure of the woman and a line of poetry by E.E. Cummings, "Nobody, not even the rain, has such small hands" keeps popping into my brain.
