Over at Facebook yesterday, I posted a full photo album of historical shots of comics creators from the 1970′s. Comic book folks like Jack Kirby with Jerry Siegel (seen above) as well as Wood, Williamson, Roy Thomas, Gardner Fox and others along with strippers like Schulz, Sickles and Caniff. You don’t have to be on Facebook or be friends with me to check ‘em out at the public link here:

Some choice Alex Toth surfaces fom a mid-seventies issue of Warren’s CREEPY as written (or at least scripted) by Gerry Boudreau. THE PHANTOM OF PLEASURE ISLAND is pure black and white comics goodness.

Many comics fans have a soft spot for artist Dick Briefer’s silly FRANKENSTEIN stories of the 1940′s but the series both started and ended with serious stories of the monster. Here’s one from the first issue that returned to that format. Must have jarred the regular younger readers.

The oft-maligned unjustly Don Heck had some pretty impressive art in this mid-sixties Gold Key issue of VOYAGE TO THE BOTTOM OF THE SEA, marred only slightly by the fact that there are virtually no scenes depicting the cool submarine Seaview itself!
