Posted on by

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!
