Cool Air, one of my favorite early Warren jobs by Bernie Wrightson–later acknowledged as Stephen King’s favorite artist–, turns up over at Grantbridge Street today for your visual enjoyment.

Comic book covers are an art form all their own and some of the best-designed ones of all time were found on 1960′s issues of Marvel’s Nick Fury, Agent of S.H.I.E.L.D.–not just the ones from Steranko either!

The Charlton Story offers up a nice review of Craig’s recent volume, The Art of Ditko, that ends up with a not-in-the-book reprinting of a highly-stylized late seventies Many Ghosts of Doctor Graves story.

Finally today, I am never going to turn down the chance to recommend the great newspaper strip, Alley Oop. Here’s a sequence from 1964, juts about the time I discovered it myself!
