Fascinating piece of art by a significant artist I hadn't heard of. Interesting bio of him on Lambiek. I wonder if the floating head isn't a hero, but a villain. The wild-eyed expression and clearly drawn divisions between his teeth (villains often have prominent teeth in comics) scream "The Joker" to me. Or maybe it's a character from one of the horror stories Disbrow spent much of his career on.
Then you know what I'm talking about! Sometimes the only way I can survive here in Gotham is to imagine this city is populated by my lifelong heroes. :)
A fascinating and unusual piece of comics history, and of real world history.
The coloring is spectacular! There's a 3-D effect to the world beyond the lasso, as if it's a portal us mere mortals could step through.
Beautiful image of Wonder Woman. The detailed Paradise Island background framed by the golden lasso, and then the central image of WW and the island framed by the portraits of all of the Super Friends, is a brilliant design.
Barry Kitson created a mesmerizing vision of the future here. Whoever did the coloring on the published card did a great job, adding an eerie, alien atmosphere to future Metropolis.
I'm past the point in the interview where he talks about his health issues. So glad he's doing well now. Excellent interview by Bill Cox, thanks again for the link.
Thanks for the link! Just started watching. Looks like a fascinating interview, will watch the whole thing soon.
I didnt know Will hadn't been well, sorry to hear it - he seems hale and hearty in our email exchanges. :) The bonuses are a real treat, whether they're the looser, sketchier drawings, or the more studied pieces, like the Avengers heads in this piece. The man must be drawing all the time, honing his skills, as great artists do.
Great page, quality family time with the FF, and cosmic splendor with the Silver Surfer. Timely, too, with the Artemis astronauts circling the moon. The Surfer makes space travel look so easy!
I didn't know about card sets for the series, either. I was searching on eBay for Mitch Ballard cards, really just to look as an admirer of hus art and not buy, and then I saw a bunch of Arrow sketch cards Ballard drew for Cryptozoic. Several were group shots, all terrific, then I saw this more reasonably priced card with just Arrow, and it happened to appeal to me even more than the multi-character team-shot cards, and now I'm happy to have this fine example of Ballard's art in my collection.
This one little corner of treasures is more interesting than the entire contents of most homes I've seen. Is that a pvc Adam Strange figure, or some other kind of statue?
Terrifying! I hate these fiends! But the artwork is great!
A fantastic plastic gallery room, and I wouldn't be stretching things to say this might be my favorite piece.
It took me a minute to flip it to "I'd put my composition in the fire," or something like that.
The balance of black and white is so well done by the Fraims. The choice of a black background for the white logo made all the difference, turning a not very distinctive logo (though it was my choice to use it, instead of more interesting logos from later decades for the heroes) into something eye-catching, and an asset to the picture. I also like the shelves with magic artifacts, and the floating books around Fate.
Three cheers for rescuing Triad! It's appropriate that Triad is here, on a triple-threat day of postings in your gallery, with Dream Girl, Triad and Kinetix.
Great pin-up all around, and her expressive eyes look like they can see right into our dreams!
Thanks! I agree re Larry Santiago's skillfullness with backgrounds. Whether buildings, or an underwater scene, or outer space, or a jungle, they add a lot to his pin-ups.
Of the many pieces you've posted today, this subtle and sophisticated quiet scene wins "Best In Show," at least for me.
Now I've seen everything. I think Nightwing is about to see everything, too. Clever pitting Dorothy against Raven, as they're both daughters of demons (my money's on Dorothy). Sweet that animal lover Betty White (Rose) has a rapport with Beast Boy. Cyborg will be of great help to Sophia as a kitchen gadget. Note to Kid Flash and Donna Troy -- get out while you can!
So true! Lots of goodies when you win a Will Meugniot auction!
Thanks, Paul. It took a few years until I saw your comment here -- and also tonight I saw the splash this is based on, which I used to own, in your wonderful collection. Swim on, Subby...
"Dreams don’t have to make sense — they just have to commit." Perfect perspective for Kirby's wild ride at DC in the 70s. So glad you posted this incredible art.
Congratulations on winning the auction! Great description of how The Jaguar entered your imagination. I was a very young kid when the Archie Silver Age heroes were originally published, and they had a wow factor for me, too. The art to the story that you won is a prime example of John Rosenberger's craftsmanship. The entertaining story packs a lot in to its few pages -- imagine, just 33 years until that time machine is invented in 2059!
Terrific cover piece. It's just a guess, but it looks like Kurt Schaffenberger's art to me, especially Wonder Woman's face. Maybe inked by Murphy Anderson?
Wow! A cover-worthy commission for some lucky guy or gal! Great choice of characters, one who sheds light on the darkness and the other who uses darkness as a weapon. The JSA shield is as interesting and beautifully drawn as the heroes.
Great full figure of Cap. You can feel the heaviness of his unconscious body. I wonder why Gene Colan signed the cover at the bottom right? I know he drew the interior of this issue of the comic. Maybe he sketched the layout of the cover for Marie Severin?
A gift from the artistically gifted :)
Unfortunately, I don't have those suspenders! The Fraims outfitted me better than I was ever dressed as a child!
That's a wonderful homage. The corner figure recreations are the highlight for me.
Wonderful page highlighting the friendship between Lana and Superman.
Thanks, but it's an ebay pick-up, and very reasonably priced. Several animation artists sell their pin-ups through a dealer named "pop-king."
Beautiful art! Hard to let go of beloved pieces, boy do I understand...
"Golden Age" is the first thing that came to mind when I saw this pin-up, as mad scientists were always strapping people down for lab experiments in 1940s comics! Evil creeps!
A great little piece of history from one of the most memorable episodes. Ann-Margret/Margrock is even prettier in the pencil drawing than in the completed scene!
In the 1970's, the artist, Eliot R. Brown, and I went to the same specialized art high school in Manhattan, The High School of Art & Design, where many students hoped to become professionals in the comic book industry. Several achieved that goal (dreams can come true!), including Eliot, and I always get a kick out of seeing the detailed buildings and objects he designs for various corners of the comic book multiverse, of which this Legion Headquarters is the most impressive example I've seen of Eliot's work. (Margaret, by any chance, are you a time-traveler from the 30th or 31st century, here to give us tantalizing glimpses into the future with your postings of Legion art and your fascinating accompanying essays?)
Thanks! B&B did do a great job, as always.
Fantastic! Move over Human Torch, Matt Murdock is on fire!
Great description drives home how meaningful comic art can be for a collector. The fantastic and exciting Jimmy Olsen splash art drives home that Kirby could transform a humdrum comic into an epic adventure still fondly remembered and referred to more than fifty years after publication.
Maybe another reason why Joan Garrick wanted to move to Earth-one in the end page of the story.
This story takes place in 1978 on earth-2, so 75 cents for the magazine is on target.
