If you just want to look at some pretty pictures, here’s a nice, big portfolio of meticulously detailed comics covers, magazine and book illustrations, posters and prints, all from the talented mind and hands of MW Kaluta!

Here’s “Who’s Afraid of the Big Red ‘S’?”, a leftover Christmas story that featured the first appearance of Superman in Batman and the Outsiders, drawn in a rare turn by that series’main artist, Jim Aparo.

Finally, for your Boxing Day enjoyment, there’s always room for Ditko-in this case the oft-reprinted short sci-fi tale of “The King of Planetoid X,” here with the missing page six restored!
