Ken Meyer Jr.’s Ink Stains 73: Blyberg, McGregor & More!

Posted on by

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 73, Ken took a look at Woweekazowie #2 from 1976 from Publisher: Willie Blyberg and Editor: Dean Mullaney

Woweekazowie #2 features:

  • Killraven cover by Pete Iro
  • Black Panther back cover by Willie Blyberg
  • Iron Fist & Daughters of the Dragon splash by William Nevile & Sam de la Rosa
  • Don McGregor Interview and Checklist
  • Full page illo by Mark Gruenwald
  • Spot illos by Pete Iro, Willie Blyberg and others
  • Article by Mary Jo Duffy
  • Victory strip by Willie Blyberg
  • Full page Superman illo by Willie Blyberg (always loved this one!)
  • Articles, a letters page and more.

Woweekazowie was one of my all-time favorite fanzines.  Willie Blyberg was such a cool cat (where is Willie now?) and excellent artist.  Love the memories Woweekazowie #2 brings back.

Thanks to Ken Meyer, Jr. for making these available!
