The Grooviest Covers of All Time: Al Milgrom Keeps It Cosmic
Check it out, Groove-ophiles! In the mid-1970s, Al Milgrom had graduated from Jim Starlin's inker on Captain Marvel to the penciler of our Kree Captain's marvelous mag. During that time, Al also drew most of the Captain Marvel covers (issues 36-53). If that wasn't enough to hand Al (at least temporarily) Marvel's Cosmic Crown, the Amiable One was also handed the penciling (and most of the cover art) reins of the Guardians of the Galaxy feature in Marvel Presents (issues 3-12). A lot of the time, Al inked himself, but sometimes inkers like Bernie Wrightson, Alan Weiss, Terry Austin, Klaus Janson, Steve Leialoha, and others lent their brushes. Are you ready to get cosmic?

Random Reads: "The Lurker Within" by Warner and Boyette
What it is, Groove-ophiles! No, it's not "cavemen week", just a coincidence that Bloodstone is showing up the day after Kong the Untamed. It's been a looooooooong time since we looked at the color incarnation of John Warner's immortal hero, Ulysses Bloodstone, so Ol' Groove thought today would be the perfect day to read the second part of Bloodstone's debut from Marvel Presents #1 (July 1975--another coincidence--it's not July 1975 week, either). Oh, and you can read part one here and Bloodstone's history here. We'll wait...
You're back? Okay, then, here's "The Lurker Within" by John Warner and Pat Boyette!

If You Blinked You Missed: Bloodstone (the Sequel)
Greetings, Groove-ophiles! Y'know, I was just kinda browsing over past posts, making a list of things I'd like to cover in future posts when I noticed a glaring omission on my part. Way back on August 12 of last year, in my premiere "If You Blinked You Missed..." post, I covered Marvel's cosmic caveman Bloodstone--but I didn't post a sampling of the strip. Well, Ol' Groove might be a little slow, but he's nothing if not dependable! So here at last is Ulysses Bloodstone's debut story, "Dweller from the Depths!" by John Warner, Mike Vosburg, and Bob McLeod from Marvel Presents #1 (July 1975).
