From the Barrel of a Gun: Recent Addition

Monday, April 5, 2021

World’s Greatest Superheroes starring Superman 3/10/1982 - 3/11/1982, pencils by George Tuska, inks by Vince Colletta.

ten-cent media said...: This was probably to best art appearing in any of the nationally-syndicated newspaper strips. George Tuska and Vince Colletta teamed-up in numerous unforgettable Marvel titles over the years. The Sunday half-page layouts of World's Greatest Superheroes were always spectacular.; April 6, 2021 at 8:05 AM
kahr40 said...: I clearly remember the Tuska and Colletta pairings of the late seventies and they were not my favorite artists, but then neither was Curt Swan or Sal Buscema. Tuska in his later years seemed to be coasting along having passed his best. This, on the other hand, is the quality I wish Tuska had produced for Marvel. This is top notch work. The older I get the more I appreciate guys like Tuska, Swan, Buscema. I just postd a new scan. Enjoy.; April 7, 2021 at 9:29 PM
