Why is this a spectacular splash page? Because it's by JIM STARLIN, it features WARLOCK (formerly known as HIM), and, er - because it's got a hot babe with a body to die for. What? Me, sexist? Perish forbid.
A cascading cornucopia of cool comics, crazy cartoons, & classic collectables - plus other completely captivating & occasionally controversial contents. With nostalgic notions, sentimental sighings, wistful wonderings, remorseful ruminations, melancholy musings, rueful reflections, poignant ponderings, & yearnings for yesteryear. (And a few profound perplexities, puzzling paradoxes, & a bevy of big, beautiful, bedazzling, buxom Babes to round it all off.)

The Starlin Warlock storylines in "Strange Tales" an in his own title was one of my favourite comics of the 70s, I loved all that cosmic Starlin stuff back then. I re-read some of my old issues a few years ago and whislt it seemed a bit less "magical" the art was still amazing. A great spalsh page and my favourite so far.
ReplyDeleteHe's given up drawing now, alas. I hear he's writing something that Alan Davis is drawing, but I forget what.
ReplyDeleteI picked up the first issue of that book "The Infinity Entity" some nice Alan Davis art but it jsut seemed like something I had read by Starlin (many times) before. That's a shame he has given up drawing he was a great artist. I seem to remember the first "Master of Kung Fu" strip I read (possibly the first MoKF strip?) was by Starlin (or his art at least) it was a nice change of pace from his usual high octane / navel gazing space stories.
ReplyDeleteYes, I've got that first Master of Kung Fu comic (Special Marvel Edition #15) and it was indeed drawn by by Jim Starlin, PM, and written by Steve Englehart. Nice little comic. I remember first reading the story in Avengers weekly #28, printed in black, white & grey. (Letratone.)
ReplyDeleteApparently space suits in the future are shrink wrapped directly to the body. :)
ReplyDeleteI nearly mentioned that aspect myself, JA, but I couldn't think of how to say it in a way that matches your spot-on description.
