A Sense of Doubt blog post #2812 - Comic book cover gallery pt 6: COMIC BOOK SUNDAY for 2210.30

This one has been in the draft queue for a long time.

A LONG TIME.

Not since 2011 when this first one was published on PENCIL INK.

Here's your COMIC BOOK SUNDAY for October 30, 2022 or 2210.30.

FROM - http://pencilink.blogspot.com/2011/01/batman-family-1-neal-adams-reprint.html

Batman Family #1 - Neal Adams reprint

Batman Family v1 #1, 1975 - Mostly Batman-related reprints comprise the early issues of this series, with occasional new material thrown in for good measure. This premiere boasts a new cover and a terrific new Batgirl-Robin story by Mike Grell. His artwork somewhat compensates for the reprinting of Man-Bat's first appearance in Detective Comics #400. Neal Adams' drawings lose some of their sharpness in reproduction and the adjusted color palettes are quite dull. The original is far superior. Other artists in this issue include Jerry Robinson and Joe Giella (reprints). See today's posts or more Adams or Batman Family issues. See also this blog's Adams checklist or Top 10 Adams comics.

Micronauts #7 - Neal Adams cover

 ***, 17, 1970s, Adams, Marvel, Science Fiction

Micronauts v1 #7, 1979 - Based on the Mego action figure toys, the series began with promising art and covers by Michael Golden. With this seventh issue, the Man-Thing becomes first Marvel character to cross over into the Micronauts storyline. An unexpected bonus is the masterful inking job by Neal Adams. The increased texture and depth makes the swamp monster a more compelling focal point. On the bottom left, the letters A and G intertwine to form the artists' signatures. Other artists in this bronze age comic include Michael Golden. This is 1 of 1 Micronauts issues by Adams.

Mister Miracle #6 - Jack Kirby art, cover & reprint, mis-attributed Steve Ditko art + 1st Female Furies

 **, ***, ****, 17, 1970s, DC, Ditko, Kirby, Mis-attribution, reprint, Superhero

Mister Miracle v1 #6, 1972 - Apokolips sends a quarter of Female Furies to Earth, in a blatant assasination attempt. Mad Harriet, Stompa, Lashina and Bernadeth are all aptly named. Mike Royer's splendid inks continue to add polish to Jack Kirby's formidable pencils. Story panels are large and spacious, most placed in symmetrical layouts. Action-packed scenes comprise most of the story, including the obligatory full page splash of a bound Mister Miracle. The cover picks up a similar theme but is not as visually compelling. Kirby's opening splash is the high point, introducing the tale's antagonist in shadow. Note how the craggy edges on the top of the panel echo the shapes in the sculpted bust below, pulling together the art and typography. The issue also contains a Simon & Kirby Boy Commandos reprint from the golden age (Boy Commandos #1). No Steve Ditko art, despite what some comic book price guides say. This is 6 of 18 Mister Miracle issues by Kirby. /// key 1st appearance, Female Furies / Kirby gallery

Teen-age Romances #34 - Matt Baker art & cover

 ***, ****, 17, 1950s, Baker, Romance, St John

Teen-age Romances v1 #34, 1953 - A teenage girl's wild parties have unintended results in this beautifully illustrated Matt Baker tale. The cover is somewhat suggestive for the 1950s, but tame by today's standards. Certain scenes may have also elicited a bigger response during that era, but romance comics rarely contained hard drug abuse or or overt sexuality. As usual, Baker does a superb job with the characters, conveying their moods and motivations through facial expression and body language. Other artists in this golden age comic include Cal Massey and Mike Sekowsky. This is 31 of 42 Teen-age Romances issues by Baker.

Eerie v3 #71 - Bernie Wrightson art

 ****, 17, 1970s, Horror, Magazine, Warren, Wrightson

Eerie v3 #71, 1976 - Bernie Wrightson's penchant for jack-o-lanterns is well documented, particularly throughout the bronze age. As in other examples, this illustration nicely combines both elements of humor and horror. Note the sublime quality of the fine lines of hay in the background. These contrast directly against the most graphic rendition of the figures (especially the main character). As with many other bronze age works, Wrightson demonstrates his mastery of depicting light and shadow. Other artists in this bronze age magazine include Jose Ortiz, Paul Neary, Luis Bermejo, Gonzalo Mayo and Esteban Maroto. This is 13 of 14 Eerie issues by Wrightson.

The Unexpected #122 - Wally Wood art

 ***, 17, 1970s, DC, Horror, Wood

The Unexpected v1 #122, 1971 - In trying to outwit a gypsy's curse, a cold-blooded murderer finds it no easy task. Jerry Grandenetti's often harsh pencils are softened by the inks of Wally Wood. His divisions of dark and light are similar in approach but are that much more clarified. Faces and figures are smoother, while retaining their intended expressions. Fans of Dick Dillin will also not be disappointed by one of the few mystery stories he did for DC. Other artists in this bronze age comic include Vince Colletta, Murphy Anderson and Dick Giordano. Cover by Nick Cardy. This is 1 of 3 Unexpected issues by Wood.

Supernatural Thrillers #11 - Frank Brunner cover

 ****, 17, 1970s, Brunner, Horror, Marvel

Supernatural Thrillers v1 #11 featuring the Living Mummy, 1975 - The Living Mummy was one of Marvel's secondary horror characters during the bronze age, making his first appearance in >Supernatural Thrillers #5. Frank Brunner's rendition of the creature is by far the best, as demonstrated on this outstanding cover. The mummy's bandages are well defined and more textural than previous issues. While the flames are graphically drawn, the overall lighting is well thought out and dramatic. Other artists in this issue include Val Mayerick. This is 1 of 1 Supernatural Thrillers issues by Brunner. /// Brunner gallery / original cover sketch

Monsters Unleashed #11 - Frank Brunner cover

 ***, 17, 1970s, Brunner, Horror, Magazine, Marvel

Monsters Unleashed v1 #11, 1973 - Gabriel the Devil Hunter fends off supernatural forces emerging from the graveyard. This Frank Brunner cover is rich, detailed and perhaps a tad too colorful. The worm's eye view does add dynamism to the general layout. While not among his best bronze age covers, Brunner's effort largely meets expectations. Other artists in this bronze age magazine include Sonny Trinidad, Rico Rival, Dave Cockrum and Billy Graham. This is 1 of 1 Monsters Unleashed issues by Brunner.

- Days ago = 2676 days ago

- New note - On 1807.06, I ceased daily transmission of my Hey Mom feature after three years of daily conversations. I plan to continue Hey Mom posts at least twice per week but will continue to post the days since ("Days Ago") count on my blog each day. The blog entry numbering in the title has changed to reflect total Sense of Doubt posts since I began the blog on 0705.04, which include Hey Mom posts, Daily Bowie posts, and Sense of Doubt posts. Hey Mom posts will still be numbered sequentially. New Hey Mom posts will use the same format as all the other Hey Mom posts; all other posts will feature this format seen here.
