Groovy Age Gold: "Assignment: Paris" by Will Eisner

Hey, hey, hey, Groove-ophiles! Here's a beaut of a Spirit story by the master Will Eisner (with colors by Michelle Brand) from Warren's Spirit #8 (April 1975, reprinted from The Spirit Section May 23, 1948). It's always a treat when Denny Colt takes on the glamorous P'Gell, so here's "Assignment: Paris"...and you're welcome!

The Boys from Derby: "Prisoner of Evil" by Gill and Sattler

Greetings, Groove-ophiles! I got me a yen for Yang! Let's plant our peepers on "Prisoner of Evil", Joe Gill and Warren Sattler's minor masterpiece from Charlton's Yang #3 (April 1974), okay?

Making a Splash: Frank Brunner's Dr. Strange

Ya know, Groove-ophiles, ya'd be hard pressed to find a more beautifully illustrated comic than one featuring Frank Brunner applying the pencils to Dr. Strange. Though his reign was relatively short, (Marvel Premiere #'s 6, 9-14 and Doctor Strange Vol. 2, #'s 1-5--though as you can tell from the credits, a couple'a these jobs were framing sequences for reprints), was it ever suh-weet! Brunner masterfully combined a Neal Adams-inspired realism with the classic Steve Ditko psychedelia to create his own brand new style that would re-define our Master of the Mystic Arts for the Groovy Age. Check out these splashes for a sampling of the sublimity that was Frank Brunner's Doctor Strange!
