We start today with a selection of Edwardian music hall caricatures by artist George Cooke found at EPHEMERA ASSEMBLYMAN. These JIB-JAB style pieces were done in the earliest days of the 20th Century and are nicely annotated here.

GOLDEN AGE COMIC BOOK STORIES comes through again with a nice selection of seminal MR A stories by Steve Ditko from various sixties and seventies fanzines. Randian philosophy but much better drawn than some of his later rants.

Brian Cronin at COMICS SHOULD BE GOOD has been presenting a series on the Top 5 Iconic covers of various comics. Today’s featured character is Marvel’s Hercules and there’s some good stuff here including the above AVENGERS cover, one of the first of that title that I myself ever bought!

Then we end up back at Pappy’s today with some incredibly detailed Atlas horror art from everyone’s favorite inker Joe Sinnott. It’s a tale entitled “The Last of Mr Mordeaux.” Seriously, though, if you have the time, go back through all of Pappy’s nearly 600 posts for some truly rare comics reprints.
