Artists Proof

My time is pinched right now, for a number of reasons. I can only post single images here and there that I have already scanned, with little or no commentary. But I'll have some lengthier great stuff in a couple of weeks. You'll be seeing plenty til then, just sort of a miscellaneous potpourri.

This piece is from a portfolio you'll see more of down the road. Gil Kane himself sold me this artist's proof portfolio containing his art and several other cartoonists'. The portfolio didn't live to be published as an edition, for several reasons—mostly copyright problems.

StarHawks—Gideon's Vision—49

And with this post, so ends the StarHawks arc of what I've been calling Gideon's Vision. It also marks the end of the double tier format that Gil Kane took great advantage of for his dynamic layouts. From this point StarHawks reverts to a daily single strip, with few papers printing it. Even in a reduced single strip format, Kane's art is brilliant.

I could post that next arc sometime as well, if I thought enough people were interested. But this blog's viewership has dwindled during this series. With the next post I will get back to some serious eyecandy.

Okay Joe—NOW you can start reading!!!
