Reading Room TALES OF SUSPENSE "Creature from the Black Bog!"
Is this guy a "Kirby Kreature"?
 |
| Art by Francesco Francavilla |
Read the story and judge for yourself!
While it's clear that Steve Ditko penciled and inked this Stan Lee-scripted tale from Atlas' Tales of Suspense #23 (1961), did he design the Creature?
It's unknown if the moody cover by Jack Kirby and Steve Ditko predates the interior art.
But considering the differences in facial detail, I'd say it was done first, which would make this monster a Kirby Kreature!
The George Roussos version from Marvel's Monsters on the Prowl #19 (1972) follows the Ditko design pretty closely, but shows the elderly couple as teenagers/young adults!
Monsters Unleashed looks like a lot of fun, so get it at your local comic shop...NOW!

Berni Wrightson Exhibition 1977
Even with less than a decade of published work...
...the comics field knew Wrightson was a singular talent!
The (now defunct) New York Comic Arts Gallery devoted an exhibition to the work of this then up-and-comer!
These scans are from a HTF comic-book sized catalog produced for the exhibition.
Absolutely Incredible Comics was never published.
The koolest part is reading Berni's own opinions of his work.

Reading Room AMAZING ADVENTURES "Exhibit One!"
One of the classic cliches of sci-fi is "aliens treating humans beings like zoo animals".
This never-reprinted tale from Ziff-Davis Amazing Adventures #2 (1951), takes the cliche and adds a new twist.
While we don't know who the writer is, we do know the artist is Alex Schomburg, who had a long career as a pulp and comic book artist, not only penciling and inking, but painting covers as well!
BTW, the writer, more than likely, is the book's editor...Jerry (Superman) Siegel.
