One of the coolest comics-related publications of the seventies, Random Acts of Geekery’s Fandom Library shares 1975′s volume one of The Art of Neal Adams, an absolute treasure trove of rare comics and advertising work from the decade’s defining comics artist. Note Neal’s Spirit from the back cover above.

Note Will Eisner’s own, original Spirit here in a story told in the original art, aided and augmented by this 1947 point by a number of talented co-workers, assistants and sidekicks.

Hairy Green Eyeball II goes deep into the rarities with an issue of Marvel’s Groovy, a 1968 experiment in publishing magazine-style panel cartoons in comic book format. It ran three issues…somehow.
