I really liked the large format and the art was pretty good. Never heard of Jim Silke before that and unfortunately, never after. What else has he done?

I’ve been a big fan of Jim’s for a long time now. He was an absolute rock star when working for Capitol in the 1960’s in particular, and a wonderful artist. He was one of those renaissance men who women wanted and men wanted to be. I have five or six pieces of his original art, although looks like I only have images of a couple. Here they are.

Popular Post Stevemmg Posted November 7, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted November 7, 2020 Since this one was reasonably accessible, I decided to take a quick picture with glare and add it. This is a pencil piece he did in 1974. oakman29, The Lions Den, Randall Dowling and 6 others 9 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

On my list to get the early issues in HG and not second printings at some point when I have time. Brings back childhood memories of it and the cheesy TV shows of the era...
