A Jet's No Pet!

This nice little six-page story by Russ Heath if from G.I. Combat #62, July 1958. There's some great panels of aerial combat, a patented Russ Heath explosion on page two and I love the guy's expression in the top right panel of page five.

DC Who's Who

In 1985-1986, DC published a series of comics called Who's Who: the Definitive Directory of the DC Universe. Each page had bios of characters, list of powers, etc. There was also new art commissioned for the series, often by artists associated with the characters. Here's a few examples from some of my favorite artists.

Dinosaur Island, by Bill Wray and Greg Theakston.

The Golden Gladiator, by Russ Heath.

Morgaine Le Fey, by Brian Bolland.

Nightmaster, by Charles Vess.

Russ Heath The Lone Ranger

Here's a couple of Russ Heath Lone Ranger strips from 1983 I'm happy to own. In the first one, that's the Lone Ranger in disguise with the beard. Which is kind of funny, because he could just take his little mask off, and then no one should know he's the Lone Ranger.
