Makin’ Links # 113

I feel very close to Marvel’s obscure men’s mag heroine, PUSSYCAT as my very first article was a history of PUSSYCAT in AMAZING HEROES back in 1988. Thus, I link to my girl once again over at Pappy’s today in yet another Bill Ward story with the added bonus of a Ward TORCHY story, also!

Arguably Jack Kirby’s last gasp at sixties Marvel, here’s THE INHUMANS story (guest starring the FF) from 1970′s AMAZING ADVENTURES # 1, both written and drawn by the King and inked by one of his better inkers, the misspelled in the credits Chic Stone.

Here’s a nice little examination of an early and atypical Steve Ditko DR STRANGE story. Did I say “Ditko?” Stay tuned to ITCH!

I am learning so much about the comics artists who toiled in the no-mans land of romance comics back in the day from SEQUENTIAL CRUSH. Here’s a look at a Charlton story drawn by Charles Nicholas (credited with creating the Blue Beetle) and his long time inker Vince Alascia (a Golden Age Captain America artist!).
