I was a brainwashed child of the 70s, folks, it's really true!).

Colan/Mooney, Sekowsky/Able, Tuska/Reinman, plus some early work by Jim Starlin.<BR/><BR/>Nick CaputoAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7897120082101927069.post-45900316676090366802009-03-23T17:20:00.000-04:002009-03-23T17:20:00.000-04:00The Buscema/Romita team are the Reeces Peanut Butt...The Buscema/Romita team are the Reeces Peanut Butter Cup of silver-age art.Two very different art styles that go great together! Gene Colan's work of course is very nice as well. And who knew Steve Englehart had any drawing chops? His stuff looks as good as any of the other romance comic artists of the time, although I suspect Jack Abel probably picked up some of the slack in the inking.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7897120082101927069.post-46137345299629799752009-03-23T16:53:00.000-04:002009-03-23T16:53:00.000-04:00That women's lib cover's a weird one.

In fact, I'd swear it's taken from a photo OF the young Gene Colan!pete doreehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17004574271734256770noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7897120082101927069.post-78560760860076158512009-03-23T11:55:00.000-04:002009-03-23T11:55:00.000-04:00Wow....Romita is something else.
