Digitally restored page from MEN'S ADVENTURES #21 (May 1953) as drawn by GIL EVANS, an artist I profess to know little about - but isn't he great?! I love the time-lapse sequence here as the shot man falls to the floor. From the forthcoming SHIVER AS YOU READ, Vol. 6 of the Atlas Comics Library.

ALEX TOTH! A digitally restored page from Dell Comics' adaptation of the movie THE LAND UNKNOWN, in which a naval group discovers dinosaurs still roam in the unexpectedly warm climes of the Antarctic. The comic was very influential on several artists that rose to fame over the following decades...

THE TITANS! Digitally restored cover to the debut issue from October 1975 - an image guaranteed to give me a Proustian rush, instantly transporting me back to being the 8-year-old I was when first I bought this great Marvel UK comic. Art by Keith Pollard and Frank Giacoia.

48 years ago this week... CAPTAIN BRITAIN! After several years reprinting its US comics Marvel decided to produce new material especially for the UK market. Chris Claremont, Herb Trimpe and Larry Lieber delivered the goods with the Arthurian-themed British hero's debut...

THE SHADOW! FRANK ROBBINS! Perhaps less suited for superheroes, Robbins was a great fit for the famed pulp character on 4 issues of DC's mid-1970s series. Here's the splash from issue #8 (Dec '74-Jan '75). A reprint of the whole series would be welcome! Digitally restored.

BATMAN! FRANK ROBBINS! While opinion on Robbins's comics art is divided, I love it! He was mostly a writer during his stint at DC, but drew the occasional job for them such as this great splash page from DETECTIVE COMICS #426 (Aug 1972). Digitally restored.

Do you wish there was a happy middle ground between intelligent, in-depth historical accounts of Gerry Anderson's sci-fi/puppet worlds and brilliantly researched comics journalism?

Well... so do I.

Until then, you might consider subscribing to Sequential 21?
