Another week I’m told before my computer issues should be fixed but big things are happening here at ITCH and I hate to be left out so let’s try a few links today, shall we? Haven’t been to some of our favorite haunts lately. Wonder what they have going on?

Pappy is always a win and no disappointment here as his GOLDEN AGE COMICS BLOG presents a “pretty” (Pappy’s description) reprint by artist Jerry Grandenetti from FIGHT COMICS. The Eisneresque art here is a far, far cry from his highly stylized comics art from the sixties on!

Speaking of “highly stylized,” our pal the Groovy Agent diverts us to a pair of Archie/Red Circle tales from the 1970′s featuring the Old Wizard, himself, artist Frank Thorne, at his most experimental!

We find a little more traditional art in a couple of 1940′s tales from Quality’s SMASH COMICS, over at TEN CENT DREAMS, one of which features Eisner’s SPIRIT SECTION backup heroine, LADY LUCK, as drawn by the unsung Klaus Nordling.

Finally, today (as you probably noticed above)-Dick Briefer’s well-remembered FRANKENSTEIN, here from the strip’s more serious period, in a 1953 strip described as “memorably gruesome.”
