Avengers #59 and Marvel Feature #10 - S'more Buscema

 

Moving on to Marvel Feature #10.

Avengers #59 (1968) John Buscema

Strange Adventures #222 and Marvel Feature #9 - Infantino and Anderson!

How did some young comic book artists of that generation build their skills? In part by studying the masters. We've already seen John Buscema as one of P. Craig Russell's inspirations; here we have Carmine Infantino (layout) and Murphy Anderson's Adam Strange from the cover of Strange Adventures #222.

 Happy 2022, everyone😊

Recently I read some issues of Marvel Feature. I'd never read this series before, so it was an unexpected bonus to come across some Silver Age swipes 😁  Yay!  

Today, Marvel Feature #9, pencils by the great P. Craig Russell, who was just beginning of what would be an illustrious career. Here in this early effort he was credited as "Craig Russell."  Ant-Man and the Wasp were headlining the series.
