So much to love about this cover, at the same time fun and sexy!
What a find! Many congratulations
Absolutely gorgeous Good Girl Art by Oksner, a severely underrated master of the female form. Not only is the GGA great, but as a strip art fan/collector, the image of the ape using Angel as a live model for his newspaper strip is just fabulous! Oh, I suppose that it's the birth cover of Angel & the Ape is kind of special, too.
Funny, sexy, and meta (the self-referential inclusion of the comic strip) all in one beautiful piece--love it!
This is a spectacular find! When I was a kid I only knew Oksner as Giffen's inker on Ambush Bug. In recent years I've come to appreciate his 1960s DC humor work, and you have the crown jewel of that work right here!
Holy heck, Jeff, this is THE Oknsner A&TA piece to get. That must be some collection you just picked up there! WOW!!!
I've always loved this cover for it's sexy innocence!
Blue ribbon cover sure to make many spectators go ape over!
Wowza!!! Oksner has a special place in my heart due to his inking of many of my first Superman stories but it was discovering his good girl humor art that made me an even bigger fan. This is a knock-out example. Just gorgeous. Thanks so much for sharing.
Wow! That's a winner, for sure!
Sockamagee!
"Sam Simeon, I want you to draw me like one of your French girls." - Angel O'Day.
Even though his style evolved over the decades, Oksner was so gifted in drawing girls. One of the best pieces of Oksner art to be had.
Oh, man, I just LOVE this cover!!!!
Superb & gorgeous (cartoony girl).
Great cover for mone of my favorite series
Fantastic cover! Fabulously rich, clean lines from Oksner. It has everything that was great about that series.
simply stunning!
I am delighted to see that Angel and the Ape (that I always thought to be an overlooked gem in the buoyant late 60's creative cauldron at DC) has so many fans here on CAF! This was a great series, outrageously funny and so well illustrated by Bob Oksner. And wait until Wally Wood joined in to turn Angel O'Day from good girl to outstanding girl!... A fantastic cover, of course!
How did I miss this? Love Angel and the Ape and Oksner. Wow, it's such a good cover.
Love this cover!!!
Love Oskner as well, really cool to see this cover!
