It's from Forbidden Worlds #7 (not FW #3 as GCD says).<br /><br />You can read it online here<br />http://digitalcomicmuseum.com/index.php?dlid=12238<br /><br />Karswell, I'd be interested in some Shock #4 story scans if you have that issue. Hopefully the Williamson story looks sharp in black and white.Mark Bnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-983171239671909762.post-63150481611955231032012-04-05T20:12:21.170-05:002012-04-05T20:12:21.170-05:00I wonder how many frightened youngsters vainly pop...I wonder how many frightened youngsters vainly popped their bubble gum before being beaten to a pulp by bullies?FrankFayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02050963691668995933noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-983171239671909762.post-39710673741935245602012-04-05T19:27:08.759-05:002012-04-05T19:27:08.759-05:00I liked the art, and spent the whole story marveli...I liked the art, and spent the whole story marveling at how good the men's faces were. Usually, when a comic book artist really pours effort into distinguishing faces like this, the characters seem to "overact" throughout the story, usually because the models they're based on hammed it up during the requisite photo shoot. Even good actors find it hard to hit the right emotional spot when it's been removed from the narrative context. But these faces are just great. I wonder what Gates' process was--or did he just have atypically brilliant models?<br /><br />I want to throw some love over to the <i>Forbidden Worlds</i> cover, too. That Ant Master is awesome. And he looks like he has a tennis ball ornament on his whipped antenna, which means he's a little ahead of his time, too.Mr. Cavinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01634994342702518448noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-983171239671909762.post-74075141924116850392012-04-05T13:27:59.596-05:002012-04-05T13:27:59.596-05:00The shock cover entertains me to no end, I love th...The shock cover entertains me to no end, I love the "gauze covered skeleton doctor" in the upper right. He seems very friends, it's too bad his clipped by the logo!<br /><br />Great story, though the art's a little stiff. If there's one thing everybody should know by now: don't waste bullets on women who can turn their heads into ghastly skulls. Obviously, if they can still talk and move without a brain, skin or muscles on their head, the bullets aren't going to do a lot of good!<br /><br />That, BTW, is a great panel. Everything is darkened in the panel to draw the eye to the skull. Shows real eye for detail.Brian Barneshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15737535617796413548noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-983171239671909762.post-63495650040735413642012-04-05T11:50:06.786-05:002012-04-05T11:50:06.786-05:00Excellent 'just desserts' tale.
