Makin’ Links # 145

Today we start with some of Jack “King” Kirby’s best 1970′s work (inked by Vince Colletta yet!) in a full and complete-except for the covers and the Dillinger poster-scan of DC’s one-off 1971 gangster comics throwback, In the Days of the Mob. Even the cartoons by Sergio and the text by Steve Sherman and Mark Evanier are included.

I was talking just yesterday about how Mike Zeck was yet another underrated comics storyteller. Here’s a vampire story both written and drawn well by Zeck from a 1976 Charlton comic entitled Monster Hunters.

Over at The Pictorial Arts, we find the notorious and politically incorrect EC parody covers created by EC themselves for a 1950 Christmas party and printed many years later in the scholarly EC fanzine, Squa Tront.

Finally today, Silver Age Comics provides one of its trademark in-depth examinations of the stories in DC’s Action Comics # 314, a coverless copy of which i cherished for many years (which is a shame because it’s a great cover!). The lead story is The Day Superman Became the Flash!

  1. Beth Davies-Stofka Says:

    Great stuff, and the breakdown of the Supergirl story in Action Comics #314 was so well done by Silver Age Comics. I know I’ve seen plenty of other stories where someone decides to be cruel to be kind. I’ve never been able to figure that one out. We need a kidlit expert to weigh in and give it some history or context!

I.T.C.H is looking forward to your thoughts. Please, no flame. Thanks!
