DescriptionSilverheels blew me away when it came out, and I still enjoy revisiting it 38 years later. I believe it was the first multi-issue comic story with painted interiors, in this case with black ink and colored dyes. Here we see our hero and his nemesis talking trash before the final contest. I love Hampton's faces, characters, and creature designs, but his environments are just as memorable for me. This is a particularly lush page showing the forested arena the combatants inhabit. It's amazing how vibrant the colors are after all these years.Thanks for taking a look! Social/Sharing |

Past one o'clock, and it's a colorful page
It's done ornately, but I'll ask anyway
Won't you Silverheels for some fruit that had fallen down?
The only way to get there's Scott Hampton
There's the dye work, then there is the ink
The figurework of the chap will dare me, art to think
Very hard to think
You wait April Campbell
You wait 'til the Bruce Jones
You say that Eclipse, published everything
But I'd like to see the book reprinted
You think you can keep on buying artwork like a king
Ooh babe, but I would not doubt it
Very hard to think
Very hard to think

Gorgeous work by Scott, especially since he was just 24 years old back then! The style and color palette remind me of Charles Vess painted pages and than face/expression on panel 6 is definitely Frazetta-esque.

Yes, very reminiscent of Vess! The intensity of the villainous stare in panel 6 is a little like a Frazetta now that you mention it. I also see hints of Maxfield Parrish in the distant colors of the top panel and even some Rackham in the linework and color washes, but that's probably just me.

That first panel is sublimely beautiful. *Whew!* This was an exciting time for independent comic books.

He's peeling it with maniacal glee while fantasizing about filleting our hero, as only an evil villain can.

I remember being so utterly blown away by this when it came out and thinking, "THIS is what comics could be!". So beautiful and beyond what was being done in the mainstream. Absolutely gorgeous stuff and still holds up almost 4 decades later!

Had no idea who Hampton even was when these first came out, but I just remember thinking these were some of the most beautiful looking comics I had ever seen. For years, I wanted to get my hands on one of the covers, or (especially) one of those gorgeous pinup paintings he did for back of the issues. But seeing this magnificent page has me thinking that maybe I should break my no panel page rule. That top panel alone is worth the price of admission. Absolutely stunning!

One of the best Hampton paintings that I have seen. It has a nice Vess feel to it.
