Avengers 94 page 1 by John Buscema and Tom Palmer (1971)

Comment posted on 3/13/2018

A great John Buscema Avengers page in the middle of a great story line Kirk, beautifully inked by Tom Palmer, who has always done wonderful work on every pencilled page he has worked over. An interesting and veiled comment on the nefarious one.

Looking at your fine examples of Dave Cockrum's preliminary designs it is very clear how visually clever he was; highly underated I think.

Hey Ted, thanks for your sound advice. Looking at your Cover Prelims, this one certainly looks like Dave Cockrum.

Thank you Michael for your kind comments. Art is very much a process and after reading and enjoying comics as a boy during the 60's and 70's, a 'light bulb' moment occured to me that these wonderful pages of exciting imagery that took me to other worlds, had to be created at some point, in some form. Access to original American comic art in Australia was almost non existent in the late 70's but I was eventually able to source some early dealers to set me on this path. Though the collection has ebbed, flowed and shrunk over the years, I still enjoy all aspects of the comic book visual process.

Strange Tales #129 p. 3 (Feb 1965)

Wonderful Ditko John. The bottom two panels are clearly superb. Though in Marvel History, Steve Ditko's Spiderman work is highly prized and well discussed, his work on Dr Strange is quite beautiful and for the most part at least as good and often of a higher level as he builds esoteric visual stories that take Lee's and Thomas' verbal structure to extraordinary places.

This is a wonderfully dense splash that the King, as he always did, has it working perfectly as a visual narrative that doesn't confuse. A great page Aaron, with your wonderful and very detailed synopsis.

Stunning page, Gordan. Nice to have something look this good and mean so much. Congrats!

Thanks Glen. Interestingly, even though I absolutely loved the story it took me a long time to fully appreciate Don Heck's apparent scratchy delineation, beautifully solidified by Wally Wood's skilful inking; I see it through an older and more mature set of eyes.

What a wonderful reveal. The fluid motion that Gene Colan brings to this tussle is a joy. It also displays how well he utilised reference images to create such a dynamic arrangement of both physical forms and intriguing architectural perspective. Congratulations, thanks for sharing.

Amazing Spider-Man 34 page 6 Steve Ditko
Owner: Mark Howland

Comment posted on 8/1/2017
Mark, a wonderful page. I love the three tiers of three panels where each tier contains its own atmosphere and story thread; something Ditko was/is an absolute master of. I too remember buying this off the newsstand and being fully engaged with a great cover and a tight and visually engaging story, your page typifies perfectly.
