    The Gil Kane mania really seems to be going viral at the moment. I also did a recent post on Gil Kane with the original art for the cover of WORLDS UNKNOWN 6 but I included the finished cover because it was altered from the original version. Apparently the Killdozer look too happy and not menacing enough.

    Ha, I wish. All the original art I post on the blog is found on the internet on sites like ComicArtFans, RomitaArt or Pinterest. But this cover was posted on Brian Michael Bendis tumblr :

    You´d have to ask him if he owns the piece or who does.

    Gil Kane. Gil Kane. How could Marvel have shone without his ubiquitous presence in the 70s and 80s? It was quite a coup when his covers started popping up all over the place just as Marvel became the # 1 publisher and started expanding their line. I believe he did over 800 for them in every genre. And it was a treat whenever he did interiors such as What If # 3 with the great Klaus Janson and Journey Into Mystery # 1 with Tom Palmer.
