As we all know, Marvel stalwart Joe Sinnott, probably best known for inking Jack Kirby's pencils on Fantastic Four for a number of years (and inking many other artists' work too), died back in June of this year. Although I noted his passing on the blog, I thought I'd present one of his solo efforts, from Amazing Stories Of Suspense #146, published by Alan Class & Co. Ltd., a UK company that reprinted (in black and white) US stories from a variety of different magazines. (The strip originally appeared in Tales To Astonish #42 in 1963.)
Just wanted you to know, if you didn't already, that Joe was a talented artist in his own right.

Nice little story. I didn't realise how good a penciller Joltin' Joe was- page 4 panel 2 is lovely, and the very last panel of the story is nice and atmospheric.
Great little tribute to one of the men who defined the look of Marvel!
That he did, DS - defined the look of Marvel (along with others) is certainly true.
Some of the inking on that reminds me a bit of Klaus Janson's early style.
Terry Szenics is a name I've seen in a few early Marvels, but know nothing about. Anyone know any more about him (or her)?
Terry's a she. As far as I know, she didn't do a lot of lettering for Marvel, but she was excellent. She lettered the first Doctor Strange story in Strange Tales #110.
