1987 Henry Diltz Monkees Article!

Here is a rare mid-80s article about Henry Diltz, famed rock photographer. Henry has been the "on-set" photog for such groups as The Monkees(see alternate TV GUIDE cover pic below), the Doors, Crosby, Stills, Nash & Young, and so many more from then 'till now.





Al Bigley vs Sons of the Tiger! 70s Kung-Fu Craze Marvel Madness!

Here is my one attempt to cash in on the mid-70s Kung Fu craze. I lifted this image from the Sal Buscema-drawn cover of MARVEL TEAM-UP 40, spotlighting the tepid Sons of the Tiger in blazing battle action.


I recall taking this to school in Jersey, in the 5th grade, and trying to get 25 cents for it!


No takers. Can you imagine?

1973 Al Bigley AMAZING SPIDER-MAN Cover Artwork! Intense!

Here is my 4th grade attempt to depict a cover of a SPIDER-MAN comic book from the day. Seemed like Spidey was always spouting off about his current situation, as a way of filling in readers and bringing them up to date.


Boy, I really thought I could handle foreshortening on figures, huh? The "Marvel way," indeed!


I love how I only give the barest amount of background info here, to let ya know Spidey is freeing himself from a sawmill trap.


Gotta find him "before he kills himself?!" Intense.
