BIG APPLE COMIX "Over and Under"

Here's a fascinating side-by-side comparison...

...of life at the opposite ends of the social and financial spectrums in 1970s NYC!

The left side of the pages is illustrated by Neal Adams, the right side was penciled by Larry Hama and inked by Ralph Reese, both of whom had apprenticed under Wally Wood!

As for who wrote it, well, that's not entirely clear!

It could be the three artists co-wrote the tale (they all have solo writing credits), or any two of the three, or even any one of them..or someone else entirely, like Archie Goodwin, who also contributed to the 1975 one-shot Big Apple Comix!

I'm afraid we'll never know...

SUPERBITCH the THIRD Black Superheroine! (Conclusion)

When Last We Left Our Hot Heroine...

...recruited by the US government to rescue missing astronauts, SuperBitch encounters creepy cosmic perils as she retraces their route...

Sadly, this was SuperBitch's only appearance!

Written and illustrated by Ira Harmon in his only print comics work, this 1977 book was part of the output of little-known underground publisher California Comics, who specialized in scantly-clad (and unclad) action heroines!

Harmon cleaned-up the art and reissued the book as a free download HERE.

Note: We're using a scan of the original 1977 book, so it's worth your time to check out his personally-remastered version!

And, Harmon has apparently gotten back into the comics field with a new line of digital books at Reaction Comics!

SUPERBITCH the THIRD Black Superheroine! (Part 1)

Bet you don't remember this Black superheroine...and her rather...unique...superpowers!
Considering she appeared only once, in a poorly-distributed underground comic, that's not surprising!

The fun continues here

BIG APPLE COMIX "My Word"

Wally Wood was not above spoofing himself...

...as this never-reprinted reworking of his classic "My World" from EC's Weird Science #22 (1953) proves!

As a look into Wood's psyche, it's frightening.
As art, it's beautirful!

BIG APPLE COMIX "Lotsa Yox Featuring Rodger Farnsworth USAAF"

Here's the entire never-reprinted tale...

..from the legendary one-shot underground title Big Apple Comix (1975)!

As to why it's here in Not Safe For Work, simple; it's the naked girl.

Writer/penciler Herb (Incredible Hulk) Trimpe was a major WWI aircraft buff. 

In fact, he had created a WWI aviator-hero strip in the vein of G-8 and His Battle Aces, as seen HERE!

So when the opportunity came to do something NYC-oriented, he thought of a humorous look at King Kong...from the aviators' viewpoint!

Of course, having the detail-oriented inks of Wally Wood, who had rendered numerous WWI dogfights in EC's Aces High and Warren's Blazing Combat didn't hurt, eh?

BIG APPLE COMIX "Tube"

For the first entry on this blog...

...we present a fanboy's wet-dream come true!

If you think the fanboy is a dead ringer for comics fan-turned-legendary professional writer-editor Roy Thomas, you'd be right!

Written by Wally Wood, illustrated by Al Williamson and Dan Green, this never-reprinted tale from Big Apple Comix (1975) is one of several that we can't run on our parent RetroBlog Atomic Kommie Comics because it contains nudity!
