Black and White Wednesday: Random Groovy Age Original Art

Yeah, Ol' Groove is kind of a digital "collector"--I see cool images shared on the interwebs and then I come back here and share 'em with my Groove-ophiles. Usually I have a theme, but it's summer, I'm on vacation and lazy, and I figure, "what the hey?" I'll just dump a bunch of cool images here in the tradition of my buddy and pal Joe Bloke of Grantbridge Street and Other Misadventures and other mucho-missed blogs. So enjoy!

Groovy Christmases Past: 1978

Merry Christmas and Happy Ho-ho-holidays, Groove-ophiles! Today we're setting the Waybac machine to December 1978. We'd survived DC's infamous DC Implosion, Batman got killed in the comics (no lie!), John Byrne was on fire (five comics this month!), two of the most important artists of the 1980s appear, and Superman was thrilling the world on the Silver Screen! Are you ready for this...?
 See? I told'ja! Yeah, it's the Earth-2 Batman--but it's the first Batman and it's for real!


 Could anyone create a cover like Mike Grell?


 David Michelinie and John Byrne's Avengers era starts here!

 Artist Jerry Bingham's first full-length comic!


 If this cover had been a poster, it would still be hanging on Ol' Groove's wall!

 Roger McKenzie brings back the 1950s Captain America in a haunting storyline that would affect the real Cap for many years...



 Artist Bill Sienkiewicz makes his brain-blasting comicbook debut on the Moon Knight backup!







Chris Claremont. John Byrne. Terry Austin. Mary Jane Watson "becomes" Red Sonja. Best. Issue. Of. MTU. EVER!



 Pre-Daredevil Frank Miller art, baby! (And, oh, yeah, DD is in this ish!)





 John Byrne mania even makes Charlton reprint his earliest work!



 At last! The tabloid comic we all wanted! Merry Christmaaaas!
