Four more books that I just won't be getting rid of.
One of the American posters for 1933's King Kong, by McCormick, Sisk & Strumf.
Dave Cockrum was born on this day in 1943. Even before he co-created the New X-Men, I was crazy for his work on the Legion of Superheroes. It guess it won’t look radical today, but on the LSH in the early 70s it was. Part Adams, part Anderson, it totally reinvented the LSH. (1)
The original Thunderbird 3 & 5, from the inside front cover of a Japanese book that I fear I can’t understand a word of. Terrific pictures, mind you …
Moebius depicts an aged Denny “The Spirit” Colt, as printed in The Spirit - The New Adventures Vol 27.
Autumn Evening, Klotzsche, by Conrad Felixmüller, 1921.
So this has just arrived. Universe: An Atlas Of Marvel. I do love maps’n’stuff about fictional worlds. And this does look like a lot of fun. I under-estimated its size, mind you, it being a healthy treasury-sized tome.
My 1st sight of the X-Men didn't involve seeing any of the team at all. In the Kirby/Lee/Stone Thor tale in Journey Into Mystery #109, all we're shown are the effects of their powers along with the terror they inspire in Magneto & the Brotherhood. It completely sold me on them!
