#art. While the portrait of Fury feels almost an afterthought, the eyes are drawn to the hypnotic nature of this #ComicCover. Oddly, the background, rather than the character is the star of this piece of #Comic art. #Comicsky #ComicArt #ComicHistory 2/2

#ComicCoverOfThdWeek Nick Fuey: Agent of SHIELD 4 by Jim Steranko. The legendary Steranko had a varied background which included musician, Illusionist, and escape artist. He broke into #comics at age 19, & by the time he was working on this title, he was bringing a sense of the #psychedelic to 1/2

associated w/ SSoC. According to his Wikipedia page: After graduating, Jusko worked as an assistant for five months for Howard Chaykin, which led to Jusko selling his first cover for Heavy Metal magazine at the age of 18. Forgoing college, Jusko went straight into commercial illustration. #comicsky

#ComicCoverOfTheWeek #SavageSwordOfConan 148 by Joe Jusko. While #Conan #art was often connected to Frank Frazetta, Jusko’s robust run was marked by a slightly brighter, sharper more modern palate than Frazetta’s, and his work, while crossing a variety of industries and companies, was iconically 1/

with #HarrisComics in 2004. Her work has appeared in many #comics from a variety of publishers, including #DC, #Marvel, and #DarkHorse. In 2003 she was one of the founders of the creator-owned #ComicBook company DSTLRY. #ComicArtist #ComicCreator #ComicSky

#ComicCoverOfTheWeek Trial of the Amazons: #WonderGirl by #comic writer and artist Joëlle Jones. I think I picked this book up just because of the cover.
Definitely influenced by the #ArtNouveau movement, Jones’s cover is beautiful, elegant and tells a story. Her early work was as a colorist 1/

Haven’t been posting much lately because I’m in #Tyrol, one of the western states of #Austria learning how to carve a traditional #Krampus mask.

beautifully drawn and the #coverart reflects the interior. While the style is distinct, I can’t help but see influences from the animation houses that gave us The Triplets of Belleville and the Secret of Kells. I would like to talk more about the creator of this #comic, but could find little 2/3

Sorry I’m a bit late with my #ComicCoveroftheWeek #Gries from creator Marlena Parlavantza. Please forgive any mistakes - I can’t read #Greek. I have a tradition of picking up local #comics (when available) when I visit a new country. Last spring I picked this up in #Athens. The #comic is 1/3

I haven’t, but I’m happy to add it to my list. Thanks for the recommendation.

Seen pics, but have never met the man. Loved his cover work on Doom Patrol and Dredd, tho.

#DCVertigo books of the early 90‘s. Rödler‘s style is distinct, moody, and dark. I do believe there are English language editions available. Check out Pictopia Comics in Vienna, Austria to find more of his work. #Comic #ComicBook #ComicCover #ComicCoverArt #ComicSky #Wien #Österreich #Deutsch

#ComicCoverOfTheWeek #RainFall by Arnulf Rödler. My #German sucks, but I try to use #comics to help reinforce the language as I learn. #Artist Rödler paired with Daniel Wunderer on this dark #GraphicNovel. Like may of the #Austrian comics I have found, Rain Fall feels heavily influenced by the 1/

I mean, there’s a pretty long history of hip-hop/rap stars actually being pretty good actors - Ice-T, Ice Cube, Queen Latifah, LL Cool J, Eminem, Eve…and that’s just some of them. All have been well received in critically acclaimed movies. Don’t know if KL has the chops or not, but why not check?

The good sort of ice…

#ComicCoverOfTheWeek #Batman 423 by @toddmcfarlane.bsky.social. This four issue arc was my first introduction to McFarlane - different for the time, stylized, and the cape felt like it had a life of its own. It was enough to make me pick up his run on #Spider-man. He went on to be an integral 1/2

Huh…had not seen that before. Cool.

I took this shot a couple of years ago in late winter/early spring in #Burkittsville #Maryland. This shed was along the route on which I regularly walked my dog. There’s a certain beauty in #decay.

post-apocalyptic vibe of the satirical comic. Never one to catch on popularly, VJ was hailed by many critics as ahead of its time. While I enjoyed VJ, my favorite Giffen work was on a Dr. Fate mini-series he drew at around the same time as VJ. #ComicBook #BlueSkyComicBook #80sComics #comic 2/2

#ComicCoverOfTheWeek - Video Jack from Epic #Comics by Keith Giffen. Giffen, best known for his work on Lobo & Justice League, engaged in a Minimalist Style (when compared to the likes of Bernie Wrightson), which, at times, gave his artwork a slick, modern feel which was perfect for the alt- 1/
