Tony,

Thanks. I feel the same way each time I look at it.

Mark,

I'm glad you enjoyed it. I never tire of seeing his work.

Marcus,

The detail he put into his characters and settings is always amazing. Like looking at a living History exhbit.

Marcus,

Glad you liked it. I'm thrilled to have it. I know he was a student of the classic strip artists. It shows in the panels here. I finmd new bits each time I study it. Gone far too soon.

Mike,

Thanks for your welcome. Sorry I was so remiss in responding. Thanks for your compliment. Love his work.

Ray,

Well, I am a few years late in responding to your comment. Just ran across it when responding to Rob. My apologies. Yes, we do share many of the same interests. I love your gallery.

Rob,

Thanks. I know you share my love for Mark's art. I think you attended the same Wonderfest where I picked this up. He had so many wonderful pieces available. It was hard to select one, but this stood out. Still thrilled to have it in my small collection, which pales in comparison to yours.

Oral tradition is one of the great gifts of our society. It levels all who participate. No matter the background, or situation, of the one relating the story, the magic of that tradition can inspire and enchant. I can well imagine REH sitting at this feet of this acomplished storyteller and experiencing the tales she had collected.

George,

Thanks. I, too, love that series. Wish Maguire had been able to complete the series. Many wonderful pages throughout!

Marcus,

There is nothing new under the sun. So much History is cyclical. We just hope to hold on for the ride.

Rob,

Glad you enjoyed it. I, also, find his work very striking. Much underappreciated artist, who deserves more recognition.

Marcus,

They do seem to be floating among the clouds, carefree. 

Satya,

I love his work. Such a distinct style. He also has an Easton Press  Grimms' Fairy Tales illustrated edition. From what I have seen, it is a beauty! Jason desreves much more recognition. I'm thrilled to have this piece in my small collection. Glad yoy enjoyed it.

Marcus,

It appears to have gotten serious very quickly! Love the dramatic setting.

Thomas,

Glad you enjoyed it. If memory serves, it was a couple of months to get it. I'm sure Mr. Steranko had many other creative irons in the fire at the time. Well worth waiting any amount of time for.

Marcus,

Whe the motorcar was still somewhat on a new thing. Each trip onto the streets was an adventure.

Marcus,

Glad you enjoyed it. It does give a really good window into his creative process. From the sketchbook pages I have run across, the man was just bursting with creative energy!

Duke,

Glad you enjoyed it. Those colors are very vivid in person, and do make the piece pop.

Jeff,

Thanks for the comment. I stumbled across this, and was taken by it. I can see the Caniff/Sickles influence, but he has a style all his own. So many classic creators out there who deserve more attention.

George,

I agree. I could sit down and study his work for many hours. Beautiful and distinctive.

Marcus,

I suppose that is one reason Ilove his work. He captures that amazing Pulp vitality, but in a style all his own. Beautiful stuff!

Daryl,

Glad you enjoyed it. He is, truly, a one of a kind creator. Hopefully, we will see more from him in the coming years.

Rob, Thanks for commenting. His style is unique. I love how he sets the scene in this piece, characters and setting. You can feel the personality of each of these individuals. I'm glad you enjoyed it, as I have enjoyed looking through your galleries.

Michael,

Thanks for the comments. I was surprised to run across it. Agree about his talent. I would love to see him working much more. Love his inking.

Marcus,

I agree. It clearly shows the two sides of his personality. Masterfully done in a small illustration.

Joe,

Agreed. I will miss seeing new work by his talented hands. I am stll shocked by the news.

Marcus,

I'm glad you enjoyed it. I was unfamiliar with his work till recently. He does capture character and setting nicely.

Duke,

Thanks. I love his style. So distinct. I guess some apprehinsions are timeless.

Marcus,

It is a striking image. Love Gary's wonderful inks.

Rob,

Glad you enjoyed it. I was thrilled to add it to my small collection. Greatly enjoyed the Bull pieces from your collection. I have added a higher resolution scan as an attachment. Hope you enjoy.

Marcus,

Books certainly provided grand tours for many an armchair adventurer. That would include me also!

Ilia,

Glad you enjoyed it. The work produced in this era was beautifully done.

Marcus, 

Very True. Hopefully the late twenties of this century will not mirror those years.

Duke,

Glad you enjoyed it. I don't see a lot of his illustration work, but it was wonderfully done. 

Marcus, 

I'm glad you enjoyed it. Those are, for the time, cutting edge learning tools. She looks like she might have her hands full!

Marcus,

The unforgiving nature of the battlefield is certainly on full display here. So many promising futures end there.

Duke,

He certainly shows his comfort with the pen. Also, I think he does a great job with the action. Glad you enjoyed it.

Rob,

Only 10 years late in responding, but I missed your original comment. It is a beauty. Shocked that it ended up in muy small collection. He really captured the character and his era.

Peter,

Glad you enjoyed it. I think he did a great job of capturing the Pulp spirit in this piece. 

Urban or vine festooned, danger, especially in the comics, lurks around ever corner!

Freda appears to have left the auditorium! We barely got to know her!

Marcus,

Many people must have adventured through these strips, without ever having left the comfort of their living room chair.

That might turn out to be, The International House Of Pain!

Shelton,

It is a little beauty. I love the detail, and the mixture of tones and color. Glad you enjoyed it.

Marcus,

His work is pretty amazing. I love these studies. He just did a Grimm's Fairy Tales for Easton press. It is filled with amazing full color pieces. Wonderful artist!

Shelton,

Thanks. I was thrilled to pick this up. His landscapes are so well done, and his alien life just seems so alive.

Marcus,

This looks like an Olympic Sport!

He seems quite tongue tied. 

Thomas,

I love his work also, especially from this period. His Sunday's allowed him more room, and are spectacular. I count myself lucky to have this in my small collection. The storytelling and details are both beautifully done on each page. I'm glad you enjoy this one.

Shelton,

Once he found his voice as an illustrator, he rarely ghave the audience anything but a masterwork. His compositions are always beautifully realised, and hid lines are wonderfully put to paper. This piece captures so many characters, but does not seem crowded in the least. For the complexity of the piece, it as amazing to see no corrections. That is the case with most of his work. Amazing.
