Mark Reznicek @realmarkrez.bsky.social · 23hDoctor Strange no. 178 (Mar 1969) cover by Gene Colan and Tom Palmer. Doc goes into action in his new costume with his new ally the Black Knight against his old foe Tiboro. And Black Knight shows off his ability to… do the splits, I guess? The story continues in Avengers no. 61. 0220
Mark Reznicek @realmarkrez.bsky.social · 28/09/2026Jackpot! Found a comic store here in Flagstaff called CAB Comics and filled a bunch of holes in my Savage Sword Of Conan collection. I think I only need 22 more. 6560
Mark Reznicek @realmarkrez.bsky.social · 28/09/2026Doctor Strange no. 177 (Feb 1969) splash page by Gene Colan and Tom Palmer. First appearance of Doc’s new threads (except for the cover). 1535

Mark Reznicek @realmarkrez.bsky.social · 28/09/2026Doctor Strange no. 177 (Feb 1969) cover by Gene Colan and Tom Palmer. The good doctor gets a mask and a slightly updated costume. 4331
Mark Reznicek @realmarkrez.bsky.social · 28/09/2026I’m not much of a fan of Vince Colletta’s inking, but his work over Gene Colan here is really quite nice. From Tomb of Dracula no. 2 0230
Mark Reznicek @realmarkrez.bsky.social · 27/09/2026Doctor Strange no. 176 (Jan 1969) opening splash page by Gene Colan and Tom Palmer. Very Eisner-like incorporation of the logo into the artwork. 0270
Mark Reznicek @realmarkrez.bsky.social · 26/09/2026Doctor Strange no. 176 (Jan 1969) cover by Gene Colan and Tom Palmer. Great cover, kind of a spooky Halloween type image (it would have gone on sale in Oct 1968). Palmer, who was a skilled painter, probably colored it, too, in addition to inking. 0513
Mark Reznicek @realmarkrez.bsky.social · 25/09/2026How about one more splash page from Doctor Strange no. 175 (Dec 1968) by Gene Colan with Tom Palmer. I’m tellin’ ya, this whole issue is an artistic tour de force! 2431

Mark Reznicek @realmarkrez.bsky.social · 25/09/2026Doctor Strange no. 175 (Dec 1968) splash page by Gene Colan with Tom Palmer. It feels like their art on this run gets better with each issue, and the layouts get wilder. This story seems like it’s mostly made up of splash pages. It’s their most impressive issue yet! 3324

Mark Reznicek @realmarkrez.bsky.social · 24/09/2026Doctor Strange no. 175 (Dec 1968) cover by Gene Colan with Tom Palmer plus Marie Severin, who revised the Doctor Strange and Satannish figures. The unaltered version (which can be seen in the Dr. Strange Masterworks) has consecutive images of Strange rising out of his body and assuming astral form. 3353
Mark Reznicek @realmarkrez.bsky.social · 23/09/2026Here’s another nice splash page from Doctor Strange no. 174 (Nov 1968) by Gene Colan with Tom Palmer. 1271
Mark Reznicek @realmarkrez.bsky.social · 23/09/2026The verdict is in. Based on reading these three comics, I will continue keeping up with the DNX event. There’s a super cool moment in X-Men 37 that helped seal the deal. 290
Mark Reznicek @realmarkrez.bsky.social · 23/09/2026I have no idea what’s going on in X-Men, haven’t been a regular reader in years. But I do love the current Fantastic Four era, so I’ve decided to go all-in on the DNX crossover event. Wish me luck! 3170
Mark Reznicek @realmarkrez.bsky.social · 23/09/2026I mentioned that I picked up a small stack of original Spirit newspaper sections the other day. Here’s a closer look at one of them, with splash pages from the 4 stories in this one issue. 3336
Mark Reznicek @realmarkrez.bsky.social · 23/09/2026Doctor Strange no. 174 (Nov 1968) opening splash page by Gene Colan with Tom Palmer. Palmer’s inks are just sublime here. I love the shading on the Ancient One; kinda reminds me of Alfredo Alcala’s intricate line work. And i always love the use of zipatone/duoshade (or whatever it’s called). 2300

Reposted by Mark ReznicekHerr Donkey Gunther Büergers @calamityjon.bsky.social · 21/09/2026Speaking 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. 921358
Reposted by Mark ReznicekKerry Callen @kerrycallen.bsky.social · 21/09/2026When I come across an unused penciled page by an old master, in this case Jack Kirby, I love trying my hand at inking it. But, then it feels incomplete without dialog and color, so I do that too. Btw, does Hulk have extra tough hair, like Superman? Has it ever been addressed? 810524

(Some sources say Bizarro debuted on August 25, 1958, but that was just the start of that continuity.) Bizarro's debut was in Superboy #68, which went on sale in August 1958. Here’s Bizarro’s intro and next dailies: 1629
Mark Reznicek @realmarkrez.bsky.social · 17/09/2026Doctor Strange no. 172 (Sept 1968) cover by Gene Colan with Dan Adkins. Colan had a long association with the Doc Strange character, and it all started here with what was actually the 4th issue of Doc’s first solo title (the numbering had continued from Strange Tales). Incredible artwork throughout! 5675
Mark Reznicek @realmarkrez.bsky.social · 16/09/2026No splash pages in Ditko’s final Spider-Man issue, no. 38 (July 1966), but there are a couple dialogue-free pages like this. I wonder if Stan paid himself for these two pages, despite having no word balloons for him to fill in. 😏 6302
Mark Reznicek @realmarkrez.bsky.social · 16/09/2026Amazing Spider-Man no. 38 (July 1966) cover by Steve Ditko, his final issue. This was the end of an era, and for me Spidey was never quite as good. Ditko was so far out the door, he didn’t even draw a cover for this one, which is a paste up job made from interior panels. A good issue, nonetheless! 10543
