Lots of things to like here. Turner really conveys the mass and volume of Swampy, his depiction of Abby and her body language is exquisite, and the bonus of a creepy Arcane lurking in the foreground is the cherry on top. 

Excellent M&C from a great era. 

It's a shame we never got that X-Men-Cerebus crossover that Sim and Claremont proposed.

As someone who picked up a few issues of Normalman back in the day, it was a surprise to me when Valentino went from this to mainstream books like GotG and Shadowhawk. But when I reread the series years later it all made sense. Valentino spoofs Marvel, DC, etc but usually with a wink and a smile at their absurdities. It was clear he had a great deal of fondness for the source material. 

Nice one. Pretty much a prototypical Chaykin protagonist on the right side of the piece.

Storytelling masterclass in the top half of the page. 

Three page sequence! Nice score.

Gorgeous piece and a fitting tribute to Dan T. 

Both modern and classic at the same time. Manapul's title DPSs on The Flash were always breathtaking.

First Comics didn't use corner boxes on their covers but something like this would have been perfect. 

Rude did some excellent work on this series. You can see Manning's influence but this is quintessential Rude, who had a real skill with incorporating the influence of other artists while still developing his own style. 

A lot of energy and fun in this one. Looks great in both black and white and color!

Great energy in this one. You can tell he enjoys drawing his creation. Fun cityscape at the bottom too!

Make it happen!

I should've put a scan of how it appears in the book. Lai uses red in the published version.

Been a couple of months since I read it but i think so? I wish it was more connected to the city but I don't think it is.

The odyssey is complete. Even more remarkable, you produced a thoughtful writeup for each and every page. 👏

Striking page by Jenkins. Makes me want to read this series.

Typically great Sook work on a series that could never figure out what it wanted to be. 

Blevins never lost it. Elegant line and gracefully executed.

So vibrant. A big get for OAX.

It's STILL great!

Love this Wig Wam Bam-era Hopey. 

Festive Batman doesn't really cut it in today's market but this image of the World's Finest team really cuts through all the doom and gloom, regardless of the era. 

Always good to see more of his work on CAF. A real talent. 

Lovely and playful illustration from Zoe.

Memorable piece when Giffen was still heavily "influenced" by José Muñoz. 

Exceptional work by Chris. He packed so many memorable scenes and poses from DKR into this piece. 

Happy to see this page find a good new home.

This page almost works as a model sheet for depicting the Thing. All it really needs is a front shot of Ben. 

I see why you were drawn to this page. Great technique and composition by Scalera. 

Basically Robert Mitchum as the Avenger but Baker makes it work...and how!

It's really wonderful to see these Baker Justice Inc. pages. This was the era when I definitely had my artistic faves: Miller, Pérez, etc. From his first Shadow issue Baker became my instant favorite. He could do it all and his painted work was easily as impressive as his pen and ink skills. What a joy to see these pages (and so many of them together!)

Classic, memorable cover from Colwell. As skillful a painter as he is a storyteller and you get both with this piece, which feels like something that should be in the Lucas Museum. Did you pick it up from him?

Jeremy Bastian art always looks super impressive and intricate whenever it's added to CAF but this is doubly impressive for being from the main CPG series. Big congrats. 

Solid art but great use of The Comics Journal. Groth has done so many interviews with comics greats who have long passed and Kubert's recollections are priceless. 

Searchable Comics Journal Archive

A glorious spectacle by Woodring, but one that also suggests what has come before and what will come next. Beautiful.

An under appreciated gem from O'Neil.

Gorgeous Spain piece. Scott had a great one in San Diego. Unfortunately, only so much money to go around!

Panels 2 & 4 resemble the work of John K Snyder. I think this was the story where I first noticed Lightle starting to evolve his style. 

A DWJ page is a great way to return to CAF. Those highly visual sound effects Dan uses are really something special. 

As always, a splendid write-up that draws attention to what's noteworthy about the piece! Wish more folks would follow your example (myself included). 

Great one and done Surfer page!

Lush and picturesque establishing shot by two masters. Not much more you could ask for.

You don't see these LL pages too often

Reilly is really adept at these character/concept design pieces. Prefer his sequential stuff so hope this doesn't take away from that. To me he's in that  Shaner/JLGL group that can draw pretty much everyone and everything. 

Nice. I prefer his color work but his black and white chops are pretty impressive.

Nice. Wasn't this creep on the cover of Bissette's Taboo?

I don't really gravitate to this kind of comic anymore but this image reminds me why I did as a kid. This story had it all: the Nancy Rushman mystery, action, and great visuals. Inkers like Leialoha or Akin and Garvey on ROM really added a welcome freshness to Sal's art. 

Beautiful work
