Flex Mentallo Posted December 9, 2010 Share Posted December 9, 2010 Absolutely marvelous. It's very stately -- dignified in the best sense of the word. Thought you'd like it. Isn't Thompson the artist on that fantastic one-shot you have a copy of ... and which I am wondering is the answer to one of BZ's quiz question. You know, the very colorful cover with a frame border of a Native-American on a horse. Could you repost that please? Thanks Guys - yet another artist you've turned me on to! Thompson's handling of form reminds me of Curt Swan. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You know, the very colorful cover with a frame border of a Native-American on a horse. Could you repost that please? I thought you'd never ask! I have 3 different scans of this book and each of them is flawed by not properly registering one or more colors. I love the cover and the story. I wonder if you are familiar with the british artist Denis McLoughlin? http://www.tonystrading.co.uk/galleries/annuals/buffalobill.htm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

adamstrange Posted December 9, 2010 Share Posted December 9, 2010 I'm not familiar with those (or most British publications) but I'll take a look at the link this evening. Here's more information about Feature Book 16 and Jimmy Thompson. http://boards.collectors-society.com/ubbthreads.php?ubb=showflat&Number=2186439 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BangZoom Posted December 10, 2010 Author Share Posted December 10, 2010 Those are beautiful scans. They inspired me to sit down this evening and read approximately 25 - 30 Indian Lore / Redmen episodes printed in Magic and King Comics. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BangZoom Posted December 10, 2010 Author Share Posted December 10, 2010 Your posting of the cover and starting your thread a couple of years ago gave me a new appreciation of the strip. I'd seen it for years in the reprint comics and never paid it much attention. Thanks for opening my eyes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
adamstrange Posted December 10, 2010 Share Posted December 10, 2010 Consider it one small favor in return for your many! I should start looking to pick up some of the comics with his interiors (I just have the one). Do you have any you particularly liked? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do you have any you particularly liked? I'll take another look at them sometime in the next couple of days to remind myself of each issue's contents. Offhand I'd recommend Magic Comics over King Comics, but I can be more specific after reviewing them. (thumbs u Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
