Interesting you should say. It's been noted Lignante highly admired Alex Raymond's drawing style: 

"Lignante learned to draw by copying the “Flash Gordon” and “Prince Valiant” newspaper comics. From early on, he knew he wanted to be a cartoonist, though his parents pressed him to choose a more stable adult profession" 

Yeah it's got some charm to it that's for sure! 

What a wonderful Rolf Gohs example! 
The black background cover really stands out for me, and the floating skull in the back outstanding. 

Well done on acquiring this beauty!

Thanks a lot for your comment Marcus! 
I agree and also enjoy the bondage girl type covers! 

Prior to your comment, I didn't have the published cover picture attached. And honestly, the published cover again captures such a powerful image in my opinion. Wonderful! 

Gorgeous cover. 
Did you know there is 2x versions to this cover art, this one and 1x painted version also? 

I was a bit puzzled recently as I purchased the painted cover, to which I enquired with Dean Ormston and he explianed that he originally drew the cover art in B&W and then was requested by Wolf Comics to prioduce a painted copy.  

Perhaps one day we can out them side by side for a comparison. 

That's right! 
thanks a lot for your comment!

Wonderful Sy Barry example from the 1960's, his best era I think!

Thanks a lot Marcus! You're right!

When I have had visitors this is a common piece which has had artists and photographers stop to study it further. 
One of my grail pieces for sure!

Absolutely gorgeous piece! Well done!

Thanks again for your comment Marcus! 

Thanks a lot! I noticed that too and wished we saw more of them! 

Thanks a lot! 
His Phantom artwork you can see a little more reference to qhich comics he wokred on here: https://www.phantomwiki.org/index.php/Don_Newton

Interestingly, another collector friend of mine owns a letter from Lee Falk, creator of the Phantom admiring Don Newtons style of his character. 
The letter can be seen here if you're a member of the group on facebook called Phantom collector: https://www.facebook.com/groups/phancollector/posts/859373350801961

Thanks again for your comments!

Thanks a lot for the comment. 
you're right, it's got such a great 'vintage' like appeal. 
Keith Chatto had such a unique way of drawing that he's stand out one of my favorite Australian artists of all time. 

Thanks a lot! 
Yeah this piece stands out as one of my favourites in the whole collection! So powerful!

Thnaks a lot for your comment again and agreed! 
This TESSA original is actually a bit of a copycat piece, as the original strip art by Sy Barry is exactly the same. I do own the sy barry original also so will upload it in the next few days and might make it an additional photo here for comparison!

Thanks a lot! 
Yeah are resemble that 1st superhero / crimefighter type very well!

Thanks a lot for the comment!
Agreed on this! Such a dark, powerful piece. This artist TESSA was so good at capturingthe darker poses. 

I particularly like the ali baba face on the front cover on this one. Such great detail!

Agreed! The details in the art here are just fantastic. Thanks for the comment!
If I can get a nice photo, I will upload another page I purchased also. 

Thanks a lot for your comment. I agree. I still love looking at this on my wall!

Thank you. 
I saw this originally in a friends collection and for years followed up in the hopes he would one day sell it. Finally that time come and I didn't hesitate to pull the trigger on owning it. It's one of the best examples of Rolf Gohs I have ever seen (in my opinion)

Very nice collection of the three pages you have here Dan.

In answer to your question on the writer, I checked and seems to be written by an author named Gary Poole. Some more details here.

Thnaks a lot for your comment Marcus. 
I agree. This piece really stood out to me with the darkness and modern feel to it.

What a great piece! Love how Mccoy captures this daily in story form

Nice item. And have really enjoyed Frew's portfolio sets also. 

Thank you JC S!

Wow, Phantastic piece!

Nice piece! Uncertain of the episode sorry!
