Sad for my Cubs fan friends, but at least PAC can get back to playing his banjo in backwoods Georgia now.

Another Terry Austin example also includes legends Neal Adams and Dick Giordano (and one of the best superhero book ever - Superman vs. Muhammad Ali). Terry does backgrounds only here, and he's using a Hunt 102 nib (with bits of fading marker). Interesting how Dick tweaked the clouds in panel 1.

I'm obsessed with the work of inker Terry Austin, particularly in the '70s and '80s. There are a couple of great examples for auction at Heritage now. First... check this page inked over Pat Broderick. Looks like Terry used a lot of Rapidograph here, and tons of tones for a b&w book.

We're saying goodbye to Our Good Boy today. Berkley has been with us for 17 of his 18 years and we love him dearly. It sucks that the last thing a dog need us to do for him is also the hardest thing, but that's the role we took on when we made him part of our family. Glamour shot from younger days.

Sigh... I guess I'll never own a page from one of my favorite jobs of all time: the Star-Lord issue of Marvel Preview by Byrne and Austin. Just mind blowing stuff, especially from Austin (working for black and white). This great one just sold for 14k at Heritage.

Please don't overreact to the SCOTUS SAVE database decision today Page 6 of the decision makes clear that we are in the 90 day statutory window when mass changes cannot be made to voter lists! Yeah it's a shit decision for the reasons the 3 dissenters say but we can deal with it. More to come...

Speaking of Columbo (and always speaking of comics), I mocked these up on Tumblr right about when the podcast was wrapping up. Although he's cameo'd in a few comics, it's unfortunate to say that Columbo never starred in a comic strip of his own. I'm proud of the story titles and the fake NBC brand.

A fake Columbo comic book cover from Gold Key publishing. The title is COLUMBO and in captions it reads: It's canine calamity when Dog is the only witness to a shocking pet salon murder! Don't miss COLUMBO FOR DOG-CATCHER!" There are inset photos of Peter Falk as Columbo and his dog, Dog.

A fake Columbo comic book cover from Gold Key publishing. The title is COLUMBO and in captions it reads: "A murdering minister has a sinister proposal for Columbo when DEATH CHEATS THE BRIDE" There is an inset photo of Peter Falk as Columbo, and a corner of the comic is missing.

Gotta hand it to Mike Grell. I've drawn a lot of superheroes, and a fair number of them were flying, but it's never ever occurred to me to draw one from... this angle. (this page is at Heritage now)

That Cap speech going around again doesn't really sit well with me because you can swap Cap with Hatemonger and it'd still fit. It doesn't state a anything beyond "stick to your opinion, no matter the opposition". I much prefer Beta Ray Bill's "let us make good" speech.

Panel of Beta Ray Bill, the alien god of thunder from Marvel Comics, saying "if there is nothing but what we make in this world, brothers... let us make good."

Oh... that's tough. I guess I have to lean Vinnie just because I love the Thor books so much. I concede the total lack of craft, but I can't divorce his scratchy ineptitude from the book. (But thank god for the Giacoia and Everett issues.)

Let us not remember George Roussos for the horrific inking he did over such legends as Jack Kirby and Neal Adams, but for his huge catalog of good coloring work, and for the super solid work he did for EC Comics in the '50s. (This page at Heritage now.)

81 yrs ago today. Social Justice Warrior, Francis Albert Sinatra, writes a remarkable letter to screenwriter, Albert Maltz. Note Sinatra's commitment to social justice. Also note that a couple of years later, after refusing to bow to HUAC, Maltz would be blacklisted as one of the "Hollywood Ten."

Despite a complete absence of sentimentality the great JOHN FORD — who left us 53yrs ago today — still leaves me hugely moved by the end of this scene from his brilliant adaptation of Steinbeck’s great novel. THE GRAPES OF WRATH (1940)
