Makin’ Links # 18


If you haven’t checked out THE AQUAMAN SHRINE yet, there are a ton of cool and rare illustrations of the one time Rodney Dangerfield of superheroes. No longer just a guy who “swims fast, talks to fish,” you’ll be surprised what a cool character Aquaman can be!
The site name may sound cheesy but HAIRY GREEN EYEBALL comes up with a classy winner today with a whole passel of NEW YORKER panel cartoons out of a 1970 collection.

Another site whose archives are well worth digging through is DC COMICS 40 YEARS AGO. Literally as the title says, you get a regular dose of covers, summaries and reviews of what the then NATIONAL PERIODICAL PUBLICATIONS was putting out on the stands back in (at this point)1969.

PENCIL INK serves up a nice mini-review of a choice Williamson/Frazetta western comic from the 1950′s complete with some prime art samples.
