DC Comics Presents #37, 1981 - Discovering an ancient Kryptonian chamber on Earth, Hawkgirl enlists Superman's aid in solving the mystery. Jim Starlin's last story on the series is very good, from the opening splash of Kypton's red sun to a perfectly sequenced history of Superman's ancestor (page 7). Starlin pencils and inks much of the tale, but there are plenty of panels that suggest inker Romeo Tanghal's hand. Rip Hunter, Time Master also appears in a new back-up feature. Other artists in this issue include Alex Saviuk and Vince Colletta. This is number 6 of 7 DC Comics Presents issues with Starlin art and/or covers. See today's posts or more Starlin or DC Comics Presents issues. See also this blog's Starlin checklist or Top 10 Starlin comics.

Incredible Hulk #6, 1963 - In a lengthy single feature story, the Hulk is challenged by the telekinetic powers of the Metal Master. Steve Ditko steps in to pencil and ink the last of the series. Like the previous issues, his version of the character is brutish and massive, but perhaps a bit more menacing. The opening splash is masterful in its composition, portraying the Hulk defending himself against an onslaught of flying metal objects. Ditko's best scenes, however, are those where planes, missiles and other metals transform into almost putty-like material (pages 6, 9, 16, etc.). Aside from the Hulk's unusually stubby feet on the cover, Ditko's interpretation is powerful and memorable. This is number 2 of 2 Incredible Hulk issues with Ditko art and/or covers. See today's posts or more Ditko or Incredible Hulk issues. See also this blog's Ditko checklist.

The Weird #4, 1988 - His finest work on the series, Bernie Wrightson opens the story with the Batman and the Weird in extreme close-up. This detailed splash pages is quickly followed by a bold two-page spread of the Justice League under attack. Across nearly forty pages, Wrightson avoids repetition through varied layouts and deftly designed sequences. As the story progresses, numerous panels become larger and more spacious. Two splash pages occur toward the end, capping an outstanding effort. This is number 4 of 4 The Weird issues with Wrightson art and/or covers. See today's posts or more Wrightson or Weird issues.

The Frogmen #5, 1963 - Hired by a European gentleman, the pair of professional divers explore the waters of France, Spain and Norway. Alex Toth's typically loose pencils are smoothed over by the able brushwork of Mike Peppe. The opening splash page is less than impressive, but it's mostly offset by the many large, roomy panels (see interior page above). The pacing and layouts are thoughtfully planned, especially the first half of the story. Toth also illustrates Boy of the Pacific, a back-up tale that's equally well done. The artist seems to have inked his own pencils in this case. This is number 1 of 1 Frogmen issues with Toth art and/or covers. See today's posts or more Frogmen or Toth issues.

Batman #251. 1973 - Considered a masterpiece by many, "The Joker's Five-Way Revenge" has been reprinted numerous times over the decades. When the Joker escapes from a mental hospital, the Batman must stop his killing spree. Neal Adams' classic cover of a monolithic Joker leads into a remarkable opening splash. The villain's maniacal face appears through the torrent of a rain-splattered windshield. Subsequently, as the Batman locates the Joker's old henchmen, the artist takes great care in portraying each character and setting. The inevitable showdown takes place in an abandoned aquarium, where Adams brilliantly uses a great white shark as metaphor (see interior page above). On page 21, a full page portrait of Batman in pursuit has become one of his most iconic renditions. Not only is this Adams' best Batman story, but arguably the finest Joker tale to date. See today's posts or more Adams or Batman issues. See also this blog's Adams checklist or Top 10 Adams comics.

Marvel Two-in-One #54, 1979 - Deathlok the Demolisher emerges, marking an early appearance since his cancellation in Astonishing Tales. He meets his untimely end in the same story, cornered by the Thing, Quasar and other members of Project Pegasus. John Byrne's artwork is reliably satisfying and Joe Sinnott adds a nice finish to the pencils. Most engaging are his panels featuring Thundra and her wrestling opponents (pages 21-23). Other artists in this issue include George Perez & Terry Austin (cover). This is number 4 of 8 Marvel Two-in-One issues with Byrne art and/or covers. See today's posts or more Byrne or Marvel Two-In-One issues.

E-Man #4, 1973 - Steve Ditko continues his Killjoy backup tales, a blend of humor and superhero genres. As in the previous issue, his panels are small, numerous and border on crowded at times. The most visually interesting pages feature the silent fight sequences (see interior page above). Killjoy and a flexible thief named the Snake are choreographed in Ditko's own unique style. Artist Joe Staton continues on the E-man cover and main feature. This is number 2 of 3 E-Man issues with Ditko art and/or covers. See today's posts or more Ditko or E-man issues.
