I'm 46 now. You sound more knowledgeable than me about these illustrators but you nailed it when you said they were "bursting with energy". Illustrators were really good at that in the era of magazines and novels. As a kid and even as an adult I am drawn in and want to be in that world. But as in the case of Doc Savage, the novels are often not that good. The writing is kinda flat. But the covers!eboyd_44https://www.blogger.com/profile/08385742931764692018noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3893206653438189717.post-69804104407836261622013-05-07T10:22:31.684-04:002013-05-07T10:22:31.684-04:00I would love to read the stories, the covers stir ...I would love to read the stories, the covers stir the imagination, they're so "pulpy"Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00089021982885148391noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3893206653438189717.post-80007679228245365102013-05-04T04:08:36.195-04:002013-05-04T04:08:36.195-04:00As a kid I had a copy of #7 which i read and re-re...As a kid I had a copy of #7 which i read and re-read over and over, plus one of the jigsaws in a tin of Steve breaking through a wall; cool stuff.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09034057077448097619noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3893206653438189717.post-29766772204145576552013-05-03T16:38:51.925-04:002013-05-03T16:38:51.925-04:00Those are a great example of how Adams was brillia...Those are a great example of how Adams was brilliant at conveying motion in his art. Frazetta is the only other artist I can think of who was better at it, though Carmine Infantino was no slouch. Every one of those covers is bursting with energy as well as being wonderfully drawn and painted.Patrick D.
