And now, a representative Gil Kane cover from the '70's. It's from Master of Kung Fu #32.
It's not one of his best, but is a fairly nice action shot featuring
Shang -Chi. I probably would have liked this better if Gil had inked it himself.
This cover was inked by Mike Esposito.

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.
