The Boys from Derby: "Know Thyself" by Cuti and Staton
Here's a sci-fi shocker from Ol' Groove's fave Boys from Derby, Nick Cuti and Joe Staton. "Know Thyself" made the scene in Charlton's Midnight Tales #14 (June 1975). Check it out, Groove-ophiles!
I really loved Staton's art on everything. From GL, JSA/ All-Stars, E-Man, but my favorite work of his. Was his inks on Herb Trimpe & Sal Buscema's Hulk. Staton is hugely underated like Sal Buscema.
Special thanks to Mike's Amazing World of Comics and Grand Comics Database for being such fantastic resources for covers, dates, creator info, etc. Thou art treasures true!
