Marvel Premiere #6 - Mike Ploog cover, Frank Brunner art

Mike Ploog

Marvel Premiere v1 #6 featuring Doctor Strange, 1973 - His first pencils on the series, Frank Brunner's struggles with the layouts and character's facial expressions. Sal Buscema's inks compound this further, adding too much detail and definition in many cases. The opening splash is the sole standout, and appears to have been inked by Ralph Reese (?). Mike Ploog's cover fares much better, although Dr. Strange seems secondary to the underwater alien life-form. Interestingly, the artist originally drew the woman facing the reader, but this final version makes much more sense. This is 2 of 4 Marvel Premiere issues by Ploog and 2 of 8 Marvel Premiere issues by Brunner. /// Ploog gallery / original cover
