Frickin’ awesome sketch.
CU
When those first appeared, I resolved not to collect them again …
… Resolve … weakening …
Doc Savage and The Shadow…..
…in actual pulp-sized paperbacks, rather than the small books….
…with the original accompanying interior artwork…..
How’s that resolve now?
Learning about the interior illustrations put me on the brink. Thinking again that some of these stories hadn’t seen reprint during the 70s and 80s, when I fell into them, has pretty much broken me.
I’ll talk to my friendly neighborhood supplier soon.
Listening to “Crime in the Pale Moonlight” certainly didn’t strengthen my resolve, and now I have to stay away from music stores for a while lest I break the bank on jazz.
Brilliant
The delicious taste of Kaluta and Stevens. Ahhh!
I wonder what MW Kaluta charges for commissioned artwork? Y’know, like a Thrilling Tales cover or something?
Re: Brilliant
Good question — I should ask him. (I went out to dinner with him once after a Con in NYC, although I doubt he still remembers me.)
Re: Brilliant
I’d love, for example, to use a color version of Kaluta’s artwork that appeared as “the latest issue” in the Buckaroo Banzai film…..
The Spawn of Hell, the Pivot of Mystery, the Face that is No Face…
Hanoi Xan, Supreme Commander of the Legion of Death!
The spiffiness is strong in this one.
That’s a hell of a sketch! Very cool.
