Gil Kane/Bill Draut original comic page from House of Mystery
A nice image by Gil Kane and Bill Draut from House of Mystery. I do wonder if the main figure in this page is based on, or looks like, Julie Schwartz, Kane's long time editor at DC. Wouldn't have been the first time Schwartz was in a comic book story. Sorry for the large size, but I enjoy seeing art as large as possible.

At right, an image from All Star Western #103. A great example of Kane doing pencils and inks. The DC western stories weren't realistic at all, but the art by the likes of Kane, Infantino, et al made up for the vapidity of the stories. Of course, most comic book western stories weren't realistic in these pre-Wild Bunch days, but they were entertaining enough, I guess.

Gil Kane Flash Gordon cover

The above is an excerpt from a Gil Kane interview, published in Alter Ego #10, first run.
It's an interesting interview, Gil is outspoken about art and comics writing, and I urge you all to get hold of this issue if you can. I can only post this page in good conscience and within the bounds of fair use.

Noman by Kane/Wood
From way back in 1957, the cover to Strange Adventures #83.
Kane was adept at drawing science fiction stories and Julie Schwartz didn't hesitate to use him. Here's a rather droll cover with George Washington and Honest Abe Lincoln enjoying some tunes. (Well, not really, but I don't know what Gil intended in giving them
earphones!)
