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.

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.
