gadzukes Posted July 11, 2020 Author Share Posted July 11, 2020 I still get surprised when going thru comics. I was just loading this Star Spangled 113 onto ebay and was really struck by the Splash page for the Tomahawk story. Looked it up in the OSG and sure enough...... Frazetta. A 10 page Tomahawk story. Pretty cool. Did Frazetta EVER have any off days? His work is so eye catching. damonwad, AJD and KirbyJack 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Electricmastro Posted July 11, 2020 Share Posted July 11, 2020 I’m sure there’s definitely some market for DC’s first comic considering it was western-themed, right? gadzukes, Sarg and KirbyJack 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Electricmastro Posted July 11, 2020 Share Posted July 11, 2020 What I think are some of the best Western cover artists of the time alongside Frank Frazetta and L. B. Cole.

That's one of the longest stories Frazetta ever did for DC -- many fans have seen it, as it was reprinted in The Greatest 1950s Stories Ever Told (HC and SC) and in a 1972 Tomahawk issue. Unfortunately the Greatest Stories reprint was marred by coloring that was way too dark. Edited July 12, 2020 by EC Star&Bar typo Sarg 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've never seen the reprint. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The ignorance of GA artists was just amazing. Gila Monsters are never found in such a large group, and they don't attack people. And, the colors and patterns are all wrong. Sad... But, it makes for an exciting cover I guess... And this is how agressive they are...I couldn't even get it to sit still for a decent pic...

Everett Kinstler’s western art for Avon was probably some of the finest western comic book art drawn at the time, and I’m sure he’d receive a lot more fanfare from those who’d happen to find out about it. His work on Geronimo #3 stood out to me for example: Edited December 4, 2020 by Electricmastro damonwad and waaaghboss 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
