Welcome, shoppers! Here's a (Harlan Ellison inspired?) treat by the late, great Gene Day from Star*Reach's Imagine #2 (cover dated June 1978). Do you feel the need for..."Speed"?
this just makes me sad as to what might have been...what a crazy detailed artist. I first saw his work as an inker for George Perez, Jerry Bingham, and then Mike Zeck. Then once he took over MOKF...just incredible!
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!

As for the rest of ya, the purpose of this blog is to (re)introduce you to the great comics of the 1970s. If you like what you see, do what I do--go to a comics shop, bookstore, e-Bay or whatever and BUY YOUR OWN!
Always nice to see some of Day's rarer, harder-to-find work. Thanks for this, Groove.
ReplyDeleteI'll echo Edo's comment. Great to see Gene Day's work. Just a great, innovating artist. First saw his stuff in Epic magazine and was highly impressed.
