Black Canary, Brave and the Bold #61, and...


Here's Murphy Anderson's classic cover for The Brave and Bold #61 (1965) starring Black Canary and Starman. You know, this particular image of Black Canary reminds me of another sensationally sinuous femme fatale...



Yes, none other than the original Love Goddess herself:  Rita Hayworth! This famous publicity still is from Cover Girl, one of lovely Rita's biggest hits.


So the question remains: is Starman Kelly or Astaire? ;)

Hi oort,

Thank you for the kind words! As for the lack of posts, it's mostly due to a lack of time. But I hope to post more entries this summer,starting in the next few weeks.

Thanks again, I'm glad you stopped by :)

Hi doc noc,

Thanks for stopping by and for the feedback. And yes, you are spot on Anderson's Dr. Fate/Hourman Showcase. His work is just great, isn't it? The way he conveys texture--metal, hair, etc.--I've always found it pretty amazing.
