I've been remiss in keeping up with Dusty Abell's Mighty Marvel 2013 retro calendar! He did indeed cover the merry month of March.
The bad guys dominate the top part, while the birthdays featured include Our Pal Al Milgrom (tomorrow), Mark Waid (same day as Al Williamson, who knew) and Todd McFarlane. Print it out and stick it on your wall! Check out Dusty's Facebook and DeviantArt pages for more good stuff, Nuff Said!
If memory serves, and that's a shaky proposition these days, that image is colored from a B&W illustration in one of the Mighty Marvel Fun Book tpbs published by Fireside books around 1977 or '78. I have 'em in the basement and will need to get round to checking that out!
ReplyDeleteI love these calendars -- keep them coming Richard!

Just checked the Fun Books. The page above is indeed from the Mighty Marvel Fun Book #2, (c) 1977 and is found on p. 77.
ReplyDeleteMan I colored all over those books when I was 10 and 11 years old!
