OCTOBER WITH THE SUPER-HEROES

CONTINUING THIS BLOG'S 10TH ANNIVERSARY CELEBRATION WITH ART FROM MARVEL AND DC COMICS' 1970's CALENDARS.

Our first selection perfectly ushers in the month of October (and also unofficially kicks off our annual "COUNTDOWN TO HALLOWEEN") with gorgeous Mike Ploog monster art of the Monster of Frankenstein, Dracula, Werewolf By Night and Man-Thing from Marvel's 1975 calendar!

Dick Giordano flies solo with his depiction of Wonder Woman from DC's 1976 calendar.

Another glorious depiction of Marvel's horror characters - this time by Frank Brunner - as Dracula, Man-Thing and Werewolf By Night menace Paul Revere in Marvel's 1976 Bicentennial calendar.

Neal Adams ventures into the spooky sweepstakes for October's entry in DC's 1977 calendar as Deadman and the Spectre battle some animated Easter Island statues.

And finally Al Milgrom portrays this fight between Hawkman & Hawkgirl and some of DC's mystical characters (Felix Faust, Gentleman Ghost and Matter Master) taken from DC's 1978 calendar.

Now, in just a few moments, please join me at the launch of this year's "COUNTDOWN TO HALLOWEEN". . .
