RIP Les Daniels

According to the comicsreporter.com, Les Daniels, author of many wonderful coffee table books about comics has passed away.

I fondly remember getting the above book, "Five Fabulous Decades of the World's Greatest Comics: Marvel", as a Christmas gift and must have read it half a dozen times during those holidays.

Alpha Flight Classics Volume #2

Here's a sample of the recently released, long awaited, and recoloured Alpha Flight Classics Volume #2. I just wish they would have reprinted this content in a hardcover format...

1983 - Tales of Asgard cover by Walt Simonson

Walt Simonson from the Walt Simonson Appreciation Society on Facebook:

        "Color by Steve Oliff. This was a cover for a reprinting of a bunch of Stan and Jack's Tales of Asgard stories from back in the day. I got to draw the cover. The small figures and design motifs in the montage are all related to the stories found inside the comic."

Happy November!
