Ever since I had become interested in the Fantastic Four, I had a burning desire to read the first issue of that series. from having haunted the Humor section in my local bookstores over the years (which is where anything even vaguely related to comics wound up being shelved), I knew that this first story … Continue reading BHOC: SON OF ORIGINS OF MARVEL COMICS
I’ve owned three different copies of THE STERANKO HISTORY OF COMICS Volume 1 over the years. It’s an important milestone book in the development of the hobby, but it’s also more oversized magazine than book, with saddle-stitched binding and a cover that tended to crack down the spine and separate. It fell apart easily. For … Continue reading BHOC: THE STERANKO HISTORY OF COMICS
digsyiscomics: Daredevil v5 #11, November 2016, written by Charles Soule, penciled by Ron Garney
Beautiful and graphic, the only element I don’t like is the placement of the cover copy. The bit of tombstone makes it hard to read.

The graphic treatment here is strong, and by keeping the background in greytones, the lead figure … Continue reading Great Covers – DAREDEVIL #1
Another minimalist Frank Miller cover for DAREDEVIL, this one using white space both to isolate the character and to make the size and impact of DD’s word balloon that much more pronounced.
A great DAREDEVIL cover by Wally Wood, debuting Daredevil’s iconic and sleek red costume. On top of Wood’s slick line once again the coloring has been composed for maximum effect. Daredevil is surrounded by light blue air bubbles against which his red outfit really pops. The deep purples of the background make Namor come forward … Continue reading Great Covers – DAREDEVIL #7
