MY OPINION DOESN’T MATTER showcases the recently rediscovered surreal Golden Age artist Fletcher Hanks with one of his best known stories, STARDUST THE SUPER WIZARD. Hanks was an also-ran in his day and would be completely forgotten if not for a 2007 Fantagraphics volume that both made fun of and popularized his bizarre comics art and stories.

Every fan of classic comics knows that some of the best covers ever came from Bill Gaines’ EC comics of the 1950′s. Between the mid-fifties and the mid-seventies, the EC classics were persona non grata and hard to find. Ever since, however, they’ve been reprinted in endless variations for endless audiences. Here’s a site that celebrates the great EC science-fiction covers by Wood, Williamson, Feldstein, Davis, Frazetta, etc.

If you want to look at some more pretty pitchers after that, here’s an online art gallery featuring both old and new where you can find indexed works from such as Neal Adams, Klaus Janson, Mike Zeck, Gil Kane and Wally Wood alongside more recent generations of comics artists.

In the wake of the publication of R.Crumb’s most important mainstream work, THE BOOK OF GENESIS ILLUSTRATED, here we have a vintage 1973 interview with the man himself just as the underground movement was starting to collapse. This was originally seen in the first issue of Joe Brancatelli’s MONSTER TIMES spin-off, INSIDE COMICS.
