The painted covers by Earl Norem and Joe Jusko never fail to impress, an I was glad to combine the two legendary artists here. Have either of them done interior work or did they just stick to pasters ands covers?

Heh! For the first seconds I looked at this, I could've sworn I was looking at a long-lost Frazetta. Good blending, Ross! So good, in fact, that I'm inspired to make a request. How about, for his next appearance, Darkwolf takes on Frazetta's Death-dealer?
ReplyDeleteThe Spawn of Shelob strike again!
ReplyDeleteJoe Jusko painted a 2 issue Vampirella comic in the 90s. I think it was written by James Robinson.
ReplyDelete"Danger, Jim Robinson, danger! This scantily-clad female humanoid is seeking to put the bite on you!"
DeleteLir an Manannán Mac Lir!
ReplyDeleteOnly if they're double-teaming Varnae Gigantopithecus.
DeleteSorry, Anon232. That was supposed to be my reply to Detective Tobor's comment, farther below. I must've hit a pot hole on the info superhighway! Anyway, I was going to further inquire if your reply was the battle cry used by those Celtic mercenaries in that big fight scene from "Robin Hood, Prince of Thieves".
DeleteWhen I saw the headline before the picture; I thought finally the return of Darkwolf, the black and white hero from Malibu Studios comics back in the 80s. Then I saw the picture. Disappointed but I still like it.
ReplyDeleteLike I said back, in December of 2024, the only Darkwolf I used to be familiar with was the primary antagonist of Ralph Bakshi's WIZARDS. As for his slightly more heroic namesake, from Malibu/Eternity? Interesting cover art, from that era, I have to admit.* Made the title character look like a cross between Batman and Shadowhawk! Which, I guess would have the intended effect of putting some fear into the hearts of that generally superstitious criminal lot.
Delete* I found some of it over at International Superheroes Catalogue.
Trying something different?? Conan meets Vampirella ??
ReplyDeleteOnly if they're double-teaming Varnae Gigantopithecus.
ReplyDeleteHoly Deja Vu, Batman! |-)
DeleteNever even heard of Darkwolf. Looking at another barbarian Thundarr shows he's only made 3 appearances on the blog. The last 2 being in 2021 (over 4 years ago). Maybe Thundarr & co. could meet Conan before the year is out or at least fellow cartoon heroes Space Ghost, Herculoids or The Galaxy Trio.
ReplyDeletePrecious few Thundarr images out there to use.
ReplyDeleteMaybe if some evil Hyborian wizard was trying to steal one of the legendary Ruby Spears...
