This is a great, visceral cover, and one that retains its relevance even today. By 1971, TOMAHAWK as a series was looking long in the tooth--it wasn't a western per se but rather set during the Revolutionary War, when Tom Hawk aka Tomahawk helped take on the Redcoats for a nation's independence. In an attempt … Continue reading Great Covers: TOMAHAWK #136

A short post from my old Marvel blog in which I share a holiday card sent to us by Chris Weston, the artist of THE TWELVE.

Pretty sure that this was another issue that was bought by my brother Ken. He continued to follow the Hulk's adventures regularly for a few months before his attention shifted elsewhere and I wound up picking up both the baton and the issues he'd already bought.

I'm maybe not wild about the pink background, but those images of Superman and Batman turned into balloons are hysterical, … Continue reading Great Covers: WORLD’S FINEST #131

A post from my old Marvel blog about John Romita. John Romita April 28, 2007 | 1:00 AM | By Tom_Brevoort | In General Got a call from John Romita Sr. today, who was looking for some help remembering the particulars of a project from back around 1991. In those cases, there aren't but two … Continue reading Blah Blah Blog – John Romita
Right on cue, the mailman delivered to me this month's copy of JUSTICE LEAGUE OF AMERICA, a title for which I still maintained a subscription. That's a really nice cover my Michael Kaluta, though I don't think the coloring entirely works--the orange hold on Doctor Destiny does make the three heroes pop well, but it … Continue reading BHOC: JUSTICE LEAGUE OF AMERICA #154
