MAKIN’ liNKS # 253

We start today with the first ever meet-up of Supergirl and the then-new Batgirl from 1967. Oddly enough, it appeared in an issue of World’s Finest Comics with an absolutely dreadful script that hearkened back to the silliness of the pre-New Look Batman of a few years earlier. Great art by the Swan/Klein team, though.

Here’s some art and info, both published and unpublished, on the aborted Kull of Atlantis project that would have come from the original Conan the Barbarian team of Roy Thomas and Barry (Windsor) Smith.

Comics have come a long way very quickly from the days of simply pencilling and inking and one of the most notable experimentalists that took the medium where it is today is Dave McKean. Here’s some of his early sequential work from A-1.

Finally today, from King Features’ own brief but fondly remembered sojourn into publishing their own comics, here’s the ever-popular Flash Gordon by Bill Pearson and the great Reed Crandall.
