Sea Hunt #8 - Russ Manning art

Sea Hunt #8
Sea Hunt v1 #8, 1961 - Hired by an archeologist, the main character explores an underwater cave and discovers a trove of prehistoric bones. Not surprisingly, Russ Manning's most interesting pages are ocean and underwater scenes. His second tale, involving an armed robbery at a prestigious yacht club, displays a knowledge of 1960s California architecture and lifestyles. His overview of the club on page 3 seems especially convincing. Photo cover. This is 4 of 8 Sea Hunt issues by Manning. /// Manning gallery

Russ Manning was one of the first artists I liked as a child in the 60's. I recognized his work without knowing his name. Other artists were Dan DeCarlo (the good Archie Artist), and Mort Drucker (for his Mad Movie Satires).
You will dig "Movie Comics", just out from Pure Imagination, assuming you don't already know about it. It contains Mr. Manning's adaptation of "Captain Sinbad". It also has "The Lost World", by Gil Kane; "The Man From Planet X", by Kurt Schaffenburger; "When Worlds Collide", by George Evans and Al Williamson; and "Burke's Law", by Gene Colan. All in "Theakstonized" black and white, for $25.
