I like this a lot, largely because it’s rare to see Who art that so marvelously honors all the Doctors.

Don’t blink. Hold it in if you have to. But DON’T BLINK.

Not only did we lose Roger Ebert today, but great comics artist Carmine Infantino has passed away, too. Best known as the quintessential Flash artist, Infantino did amazing work on other DC comics, namely Detective (Batman, Elongated Man), and later Star Wars and the earliest issues of Spider-Woman for Marvel. A superb storyteller whose talent will be missed.

1982 Marvel Universe poster by Michael Golden
I believe this to be one of the greatest pieces of comic book art that exists on the planet

I cannot disagree with Good Mr. Bendis on this. A great time in comics by a great artist.

Odin’s whiskers, I forgot there was a Giant-Size Werewolf By Night series. Understandable! I love this Gil Kane cover. http://www.giantsizemarvel.com/2010/01/monster-mondays-werewolf-by-night-meets.html?m=1

A big-time Guilty Pleasure was Marvel’s first attempt at giving Morbius his own series, back in the mid-’70s with Adventure Into Fear. What was notable about the series was that, as it starred a fringe character with little chance of financial success, it was a strikingly exhilarating, bat-shit crazy book. The Morbius stories jumped from Pellucidar-like alien epics to street fights to cults and back again, with a host of now-famous creators honing the fangs on this series in their early days: Doug Moench, Bill Mantlo, Paul Gulacy, and Craig Russell (!), with veteran contributions by the master of bat-shit crazy stuff, Steve Gerber, and the horrifying illustrator of double-jointed, saliva-drooling heroes, Frank Robbins.Add a series of great covers by the one and only Gil Kane, and you’ve got one wild series to savor. In the issue with this particular cover, Morbius does indeed fight Blade, with Morbius thinking that Blade is a dangerous mental patient. “He really believes he’s battled the fictional character Dracula! The lunatic.”
