Groovy Age Spotlight On...

Rudy Nebres!
Rudy Nebres (whose birthday is January 14) is one of the great Filipino artists brought to DC Comics during the Groovy Age by publisher Carmine Infantino and editor Joe Orlando to spruce up DC's artistic line-up. Nebres' wild storytelling and lush inks made him a favorite, leading to a long career spanning the pages of most every major U.S. comicbook publisher before he eventually left comics for commercial art and storyboarding. Here's Nebres' DC debut from House of Mystery #201 (November 1972)…"The Exterminator!" written by Michael Fleisher and Maxene Fabe!

See ya next week, Groove-ophiles! Pax!

Making a Splash: 13 Splashes from Marvel Team-Up

Remember these issues of Marvel Team-Up, Groove-ophiles? A lot of far-out Groovy Age artists (besides the already spotlighted Gil Kane, Sal Buscema, and John Byrne) left their mark on Spidey and friends battles with baddies. Here are 13 (for Friday the 13th, natch) to blow your mind...
