The Super Paunch

For Thanksgiving, let's look at a column about Our Hero ... specifically, a portrayer who might not have been in trim super shape, but was just perfect for his 1950s-60s audience.

This is from the May 1990 issue of Amazing Heroes, #179.

I hope you are of the age to recognize that George Reeves's Superman was a classic.  See you Monday!

  

No Surgery Required

Emerson Lake & Palmer's Brain Salad Surgery came out at the end of 1973 and thanks to an upperclassman, I was clued in.

This is the LP front, with art by the creepy genius HR Giger.

In June of 1974, around my graduation from high school, I got out my rulers and felt-tip pens and made my own draft of the cover.

Above is a 600 dpi scan.

Fifty years later, I'm glad I put dates on things!  But check it out .... 

I also used BLACK LIGHT PAINTS.  Above is a phone photo of the thing.

And ABOVE is the thing under black light, baby!  Are you PSYCHED!  I'm PSYCHED!

See you Thursday.
