Not Really Original Marvel Art but...

[RDK]

Pretty damn cool nonetheless I think. (I hope it's okay to post here; otherwise Arch or someone can move it. I figured you guys might appreciate it more.) One of the stronger arguments, imo, that comic book art is meant to be seen in color.

My favorite of all the blacklights...

I have the Thor one too - I love it. I got it at Dark Adventure Comics in Georgia when I was a kid. I think they found a group of them at one time.

Isn't it true that all the Marvel Black light posters came with the instructions to

 

1) turn off all lights and close all shades

 

2) turn on black light

 

3) play side from 1 one of "Dark Side of the Moon" and light up a doob for maximum effectiveness.

 

just asking......

The colouring for the Black Light posters is fine for the effect is was meant to achieve, but otherwise garish (IMHO). I don't think I'd like to see comic-strips coloured, flourescently.

 

Actually, a lot of vintage art from over here, in the UK, was the complete package - pencils, inks and colours. Here's a full-colour (painted) EARTHA Sunday original by John M Burns (recently profiled in the Twomorrows book, TRUE BRIT):

 

 

The lettering is on an acetate overlay, so the original art can also be viewed free from captioned material.

 

Or a cover painting by Britain's Patrick Nicholle, a prolific strip-illustrator who was equally at home producing work of this calibre:

I think that colors looked different under a black light and the influence of certain non-traditional pharmceuticals.
