Fantastic Four #33 Cover by Jack Kirby




Just started mow'n the back forty today, but the dream is to show you all three versions I possess of this great comic when I have more energy

A Tupenney Conan That Slipped The Hook by Barry Smith

One that got away, that is.  There were at least three such

Kree-Gah! by Frank Frazetta

Have I mentioned lately how much I'm saddened by Fritz paint'n over this?  Well, I am
