I always thought that Guice  would have been one of the great newspaper strip artists had he had his career during the 50s.  A tremendous detail man with absolute understanding of spotting blacks in line art, Guice is one of a few modern artists whose work looks better in black and white versus being computer colored.  


Guice's work always amazing.

Very nice! Not much Dave Stevens original art out there!
 

The story saw print in Alien Worlds #2. But Dave didn't draw it for Pacific, he was reusing this old story he did in the 70's. It was a revised version, with many of the faces reinked (especially hers), a new script, and new professional coloring. 


Anthony,

Thanks for the history on this color work. One of the great things about posting on CAF are orher members who often have great background information on art.

I know it's hard for Hex fans to hear, but there's no need to blame political correctness when they pushed a movie with James Brolin and Megan Fox, they had long comics run with top creators (Bernet, Palmiotti, Cooke), he appeared in CW Arrowverse Legends of Tomorrow, and was part of the DC animated universe in Justice League Unlimited.  The longest gap between Hex's own title was from 1987 and 2006 and that was long before political correctness.  With 180 comics of his own title, you don't think he's had more run than any other western hero?


Marcus,

Perhaps it was after the height of PC times, but I feel like DC pulled the Jonah Hex Omnibus back and never did an Omni run for the Palmiotto run due to Hex's association with the Confederacy. Didio was no longer running it and we had a different set of eyes on it. This was at the same time where DC starting heavily trying to build a younger more diverse younger audience. You are right it was the longest running Western and had a lot of great incarnations.  

I hope DC and Marvel can survive as print comics as I know myself and others of my age bracket have long abandoned most current comics. I just long for the Captian Comet Archive that never was and other collections.

BUT what do you think of the art?

Beautiful bird's eye view of a crime scene in the study as Sherlock pieces together the possibilities and Watson is still busy analyzing the scene. I had this page at my desk at work for a while back when I was a detective. 


That's cool, was an appropriate page to have for that line of work.

It's actually the classic pairing of Starlin and Milgrom (Jim and I signed Gemini on their covers) back in the day on Warlock.  It's about 20 years after that time period, but cosmic stuff by these two together is a big selling point to many just for the names alone.


No I get it - Milgrom's inks on Starlin worked - but feel like his art was never a draw and his inking IMO did not match well with some other artists

And those dyes keep this cover as bright and vibrant as it was when first done. Think I need to frame and do UV glass.

Will S. said:

this is definitely not Matt Baker art. This was drawn by someone else, and by the style looks alot like John Thornton is the artist. You can called me Baker man. I have lots of Baker OA pgs in my collection from different eras. and this art style looks alot like John Thornton style after taking over Baker on Flamingo comic strip. Several John Thornton flamingo strips examples are very identical in style. John Thornton mimic Baker girl art. 

This pages are drawn way after Baker left the Iger-Shop late1948. 


There is a lot of back story to this page that I got from Burkey that says it maybe Baker work. In the days of the Studios it is hard to separate who did what at times.  It is why I say Matt Baker?  If I ever decide to sell I would not authenticate it by being by Matt. Thanks for your comment.

I don't remember Baker doing any work for Superior - this may be John Thornton who continued Flamingo or anothe Iger shop artist.

 


Got a lot of information from Mike Burkey about story being sold etc. There are those who say it is and those who say it isn't. Would have cost at least twice as much if people were 100% sure. Thunder agent pages credits are not always clean. Still a great romance page.

Great storytelling throughout the page. Love the bottom half with open border panel and 2 inserts. Great flow and some awesome shots of Batman. It is also real fun to see Risso use inkwash and white paint. Great pick-up!

The title page of the comic says Illustrated by Dick Ayers and Tony DeZuniga.  Hex has had many appearances already in his own movie and on TV in Legends of Tomorrow.  He even came back in comics as a zombie in Blackest Night.  Not sure how much more they can try to strap a rocket to a western character when they've tried to make him a thing so many times. 


Thanks and true but the actual comic will likely not be collected anymore and the later series is not looking good to be collected as the Confederate tie in is something DC appears to want to not have in their books at this time. And the movie was horrible

We probably have Sidney Poitier to thank for that in his role of Virgil Tibbs in the movie "In the Heat of the Night". McWilliams gives each character their spotlight and connects them in this interior space.
