Gravitational Influences



Comics. Comics. Comics. As Stan "the Man" Lee once spittooned out "Enuf Said!" I read, bought, anything remotely published in the comic book template. From the Hulk , Little Lulu, Archie, Batman, I read it all. I didn't discriminate. Especially the superhero genre, it kept me at "witzend"(apologies to WallyWood). I could not wait for the next issue to be in my little grubby hands. Jacob Kurtzberg (Jack "King" Kirby) had me howling at the moon with titles like Kamandi, The New Gods, The Eternals, Omac, The Demon,etc. Ahhwooooooooo! Ahwooooooo! ........Sorry about that I'm besides myself. Another ahhwooo and I would have need to change my shorts. Okay foundation of comics and then great artist like Cornwell, Parrish, Leyendecker, Frazetta, Eakins, Monet, Degas, Man Ray, Sayre, Zorn, Sargent, Pogany, Caniff, Giraud, and more.
