Black and White Wednesday: Even More Marvel-ous Frontispieces

You dug the last post on Marvel's black-and-white magazine frontispiece art so much, I couldn't wait to share another round with ya, Groove-ophiles! Here's a dy-no-mite dozen with awesome art by Jim Starlin, George Perez, Rudy Nebres, Ed Davis, Pablo Marcos, Bernie Wrightson, Vincente Alcazar, Tim Conrad, Mike Zeck, Gil Kane, Howard Chaykin, and Pat Broderick. Who loves ya, baby?

I have'ta say, that Bernie Wrightson Star-Lord piece (from Marvel Preview #4) is my all-time fave. What's yours? Have I posted it yet? Let me know!

  1. I've always been particularly impressed with that Doc Savage piece, and make a point of looking at it extra-close whenever I pull that issue out.
