Comics in the Golden Age

Prince Valiant by Hal Foster from December 1, 1940. Check out those last three panels…

In this eight panel strip, Valiant is fleeing Rome, but the beauty is in the art. The first four panels are him fleeing and hiding. The fourth is his companion Boldoro looking cocky, and the fifth is a group of Roman soldiers. The final two show Val in the shadow in two especially amazing, shaded panels as he approaches the crater of a volcano.

A small man rides a bat as if he were a night in yellow armor. Hanging around the bat neck is an apparent bag of loot bulging on both sides so as to look like giant yellow testicles.

RISING (2007)
Acrylic on Watercolor board - 36" X 24"

This image came to me while I was working on THE RIVER in 1996. 1/3

Rough stone steps wind around the side of a hill defining the cliff's edge in their slow ascent. As the path turns sharply, the eroded ground beneath forms an overhang. The sky beyond is suffused with golden radiance layered with grey-blue clouds. The trees at the edge of the cliff, already in the transition to autumn, are lit by the warm glow of sunset creating a contrast of light and shadow up thick textured trunks. Out over the edge, hovering in the open air, a woman in a long dress holds her hands out as if presenting a clear spherical vessel containing a solitary flame. Bathed in the light of sunset, she stares off panel into the far distance while a pair of doves flies low, sweeping over the curving steps.

1632 by Eric Flint isn't bad, I'm halfway through and I can already tell his favorite topic is love at first sight. Dude loved his romance.

Learned yesterday at Thanksgiving that my niece listens to Bell Witch and then discovered their performing in Seattle next month on a Saturday, then I found out it's 21+ only. Well that sucks. 🤷‍♂️

Had a great Thanksgiving with the family, the turkey was amazing and it was fun to hang out and catch up!

I hope you all enjoyed yours as well and I'll still be eating turkey at work tomorrow (plenty of leftovers).

Gobble gobble!

DESTROYING ANGEL (1982)
Acrylic on Canvas - 34" x 24"

All of the concepts I submitted for the 1982 Year's Best Horror Stories cover were strong. 1/6

In a field of poppies, a skeletal figure wearing a black and red silk cloak holds a smiling mask set on the end of a thin staff. Sweeping the cloak aside in a welcoming gesture, it reveals an antique key hanging from a ring about its emaciated forearm. The other arm is tied off with rubber tubing. Pronounced veins run the length of necrotic flesh. Beneath the cloak, chains wraps the torso, criss-crossing, secured by a padlock. The green tunic beneath is torn to expose yellowing rib bones. Atop its tilted skull rests a crown of mushrooms and a single bird wing. Its orbitals are dead black, and many teeth are missing. A syringe dangles from a loose chain around its neck. Another needle hangs from its belt with longer cord weighed down by a spoon. A long opium pipe with a bulbous end is tucked through through the belt. A winding tree rises behind the angel of death, bare limbs branching like veins, blue against the purple haze of the misty backdrop.
