Marshall Rogers’ Strange Portfolio

Posted on by

The Bristol Board posted all of the plates from the Marshall Rogers’ Strange portfolio and man, did it bring back great memories.  I have Rogers’ Strange portfolio in my collection.  I bought it when the Strange portfolio was originally released way back in 1979.  Plate 4 above (click on the art to see a bigger version) and plate 3 were my favorites.

In the mid to late 70’s through the early 80’s portfolios were a sign of status for artists and collector’s loved them.  Just off the top of my head I can think of the following portfolios that I still have in the vault…

  • Marshall Rogers’ Batman
  • Howard Chaykin’s Robin Hood
  • Howard Chaykin’s Cody Starbuck
  • Mike Zeck’s Punisher
  • Jim Starlin’s Dreadstar
  • Bill Sienkiewicz’s Moonknight
  • Terry Austin – Can’t remember the name of it, but Terry pencilled and had friends in his art

I’m going to have to dig in the vault and see what others that I’m not thinking of.  Those were the days, my friends.
