Ken Meyer, Jr.’s Ink Stains 3: Steranko, Cockrum, Fujitake, Smith and More!
If you’re a fan of fanzines, then you’ve got to check out Ken Meyer, Jr.’s monthly column Ink Stains. Each month Ken (who is an amazing artist) posts… well, let’s let Ken explain…
I have a collection of over 200 fanzines from the 60’s-80’s that I plan to scan and talk about, one at a time. I hope to have some of the participants answer a few questions. Many of those participants are established comics professionals now, while some have gone on to other things. I will show a few snippets from each zine and give you a link to download a pdf of the whole thing, which I hope all of you will do!
For Ink Stains 3, Ken took a look at Fantastic Fanzine #10 from 1969 published by Gary Groth (who later went on to publish the long-running month magazine, The Comics Journal) and Alan Light (who later went on to publish the long-running weekly newspaper the Comic Buyers Guide). The issue featured an Jim Steranko / Joe Sinnot cover as well as art by Dave Cockrum, Barry Smith, Bill Everett, Bill Black and Dennis Fujitake. That’s Fujutake’s splash posted above. I always like DF’s work and wished there was more around!
All, the glory days of fanzines. Thanks to Ken Meyer, Jr. for making these available!
Crashing Frank Miller’s Private DC Master Class
Frank Miller is a legend. Daredevil. The Dark Knight Returns. Batman: Year One. Ronin. Sin City.
Recently DC Comics had Miller present a special master class on creating comics for their under contract artists. Josh Yehl from IGN was there and gives us a taste of how cool it must have been in Crashing Frank Miller’s Private DC Master Class.
“Violent Love” Preview and Interview
Hannah Means-Shannon and Bleeding Cool have a nice little interview with writer Frank Barbiere as well as a preview of Violent Love by Barbiere and Victor Santos.
Peter Simeti had 5 Minutes to Draw “First Blood”
Peter Simeti is a writer, artist and publisher. Peter is the founder of Alterna Comics as well as the writer of The Chair.
Peter is active on Twitter and one night I saw he was offering 5 minute sketch cards. I jumped on board for a couple. Jack Carter was the first and Rambo was the second. My guess is the future will hold more.
Yakuza Demon Killers Are Coming!
Yakuza Demon Killers by Amit Chauhan and Eli Powell might be worth a look. I like Powell’s art and who doesn’t like the idea of Yakuza Demon Killers?

Howard Chaykin Splash for a Nick Fury Story Written by Jim Starlin!
Diversions of the Groovy Kind is a regular stop on my daily website visits. In this outing they took a look at comics from September 1976. I was just starting my senior year in high school. What a great time to be a kid young adult. and what a great month for comics!
I had a hard time deciding which splash page to feature. I thought about…
-
Val Mayrik’s Conan #69 splash page written by Roy Thomas
-
John Byrne’s splash for Iron Fist #10 written by Chris Claremont
-
The splash for Marvel Premire #33 featuring art by Howard Chaykin in a Roy Thomas adaptation of a Robert E. Howard Solomon Kane story
-
Paul Gulacy’s splash for Master of Kung Fu #47 written by Doug Moench
I finally settled on Howard Chaykin’s splash for a Jim Starlin Nick Fury story that appeared in Marvel Spotlight #31.
The good news is you don’t have to choose just one if you click over you can see all that I mentioned and more!
Patrick Schoenmaker’s Indiana Jones Animated Teaser Trailer!
