Dial Z for ZOMBIE! Bill Everett Art from the 1950's






















Bill Everett was a real PRO... in it from the begining with his creation Sub-Mariner in the Late 30 Till his Death in the early 1970's where ironicly enuff he was working on Subby again! But it's his mid to late 1950's work that really grabs me by the eyeballs and compells me to look for more! He was really a top notch inker, on top of his form until his death....that line just kept cool and consistant for his whole career. But Like I said it's that Fifties work that has just a little something special to it, you could tell the guy was really having a ball doing these crazy Horror, War & Science Fiction comics.

Wood-World!......a closer look at the best inker in comics, Wally Wood!



















































































































































































































Not really gonna blather on here about how great Wood was, I'll let his art speek for itself here. All I can say is that I am still running across Wood Illustrations & comics that I have never seen before & They ALL still Blow Me Away.... same as they did when I was 12 or 13 in the mid 70's and picking up Thoes ALL-STAR comics with the new J.S.A in them....or finding a story in CREEPY. Just Solid as all Hell & Cool as Shit! Here is one of my favorite things he did for the MAD comic, Sound Effects ,plus a bunch of Spot Illustrations he did for the science fiction pulp GALAXY in 1958 & 1959. You can provide your own sound effects for these. Let me how that works out for you OK?
