Just because I haven't mentioned Toth yet today.
Paul Fricke@opauloart.bsky.social · 3mo agoStarting to show signs of becoming TOTH, in the Sierra Smith story, "The Case of the Oily Worm.” 8 months later, Alex Toth is fully developed and transformed with Battle Flag. • Dale Evans Comics 10 • DC Comics • March 1950 • #alextoth #noir #crime #comics #comicbooks #DCComics
On this day in movie history: Point Blank directed by John Boorman released August 30, 1967. Cast: Lee Marvin, Angie Dickinson, Keenan Wynn, Carroll O’Connor, Lloyd Bochner, Michael Strong, John Vernon, Sharon Acker, James Sikking, Sandra Warner, Roberta Haynes, Kathleen Freeman. #Noir
Watching Point Blank for the first time in a while. On this viewing something that stands out is how Marvin nails being quite reasonable, while still being a man who cannot be reasoned with.
Point Blank is one of the great LA movies, filled with lies, violence and corruption under the smoggy sun. This noir is filled with color, dream-like sequences and edgy editing, and Lynch, The Limey & John Wick all have roots here. If, like me, you haven’t seen it in decades, consider fixing that!

Sure feels nice seeing some Travis Charest Archie art.
Travis Charest@travischarest.bsky.social · 2w agoWhen I was on long road trips with my family one of the few things that made them bearable was an Archie Digest so I'm very grateful to be able to show my cover for Archie #1 Ink and watercolor on 11 x 17 bristol

The Justice Society Of America, by Alex Toth, 1981. Ah, Alex Toth: one of the very few artists who could make a shot of super-heroes (mostly) sitting down convincing, fascinating & compelling.
Happy birthday. Wallace Wood. He was a truly immense talent.
