Blue Monday Calendar - Wednesday Edition?

Okay - I done oopsed. So busy trying to push my brain into Xmas mode that i missed the final Monday of the year. Our last painting from Gil Elvgren is Bear Facts (A Modest Look; Bearback Rider) from 1962 -

Super Xmas

6

Let's go big with 36 pages of Super Xmas - Siegel & Shuster Style - Sorta...

You see, while all these stories are signed by Jerry Siegel and Joe Shuster, they didn't actually create them. This first tale is written by Don C. Cameron with art by Joe Sikela and George Roussos -

Ira Yarbrough and Stan Kaye provide the artwork on this next one, with Don Cameron believed to be the writer on this one as well -

Our final tale is brought to us by Alvin Schwartz and Win Mortimer -

If none of those names sound familiar to you, think of the frustration that creators must have suffered working under another's name. (And shame! for not recognizing Jack Kirby's inker on some of those early Fantastic Four issues)

page art from Adventure Comics #113 and Action Comics #s 93 & 117 (1946, 1947, 1948)

Covering Xmas 2018 Edition

Last year we went a tad insane and ran about 120 Xmas covers. Since i dislike repeating material, that makes it easier to keep it down to something a bit more rational this year - like 3 dozen and 3...

Nope. The Star Wars Holiday Special did not scare them away from trying again. Actually kind of impressive, really.

Next year - we use up all the xmas covers remaining?
