Comic book cover for Captain Marvel #10. Captain Marvel, in green and White uniform, feels and grabs the sides of his head as he is zapped by a raygun, held by a crazed looking guy with goggles and messy hair. Other goons run up behind. The whole scene is suffused with a swirling orange and yellow energy pattern

#clzshake du jour - beautiful trippy Marie Severin cover for Captain Marvel #10, Feb 1969
Always loved Mar-Vell’s Kree officer look and there are some great covers from that era, but when I read them, the initial concept runs out of steam after around 4 issues and it’s mostly flailing after

Comic book cover for Captain America 108. Cover price 12¢. “TARGET: THE TRAPSTER” Cap swings on a horizontal bar and kicks the gun toting purple clad Trapster with what appears to be quite a wallop

today’s #clzshake, Captain America 108, 12/1968. One of my joys in the second half of Marvel’s silver age is the beautiful, unmistakeable inking of Golden Age veteran Syd Shores. One of these days I’ll do a longer post highlighting his underappreciated work. #comicsky #captainamerica #jackkirby

My silver age DC collection is puny but I love it. Here’s a rare double cover, I don’t have many of those.

Comic book cover for Superboy number 69, 1958. Cover price $.10. Superboy floats in mid air over a mountainous landscape, suspended by multicolored helium balloons. He where is a harness which is connected by a rope to his adopted father on the ground. An eagle is attacking the balloons, Superboy is scared. He cries, “ HELP, DAD KENT ! BRING ME DOWN! THAT EAGLE IS BREAKING THE BALLOONS WHICH SUPPORT ME-- AND I STILL DON'T KNOW HOW TO USE MY FLYING POWER !” The title reads, “ YOU'LL BE AMAZED WHEN YOU DISCOVER "HOW SUPERBOY LEARNED TO FLY!"”

Good morning world! Here’s another #clzshake - Superboy #69, found in a $3 box in 2024. How could I pass it up?? It’s a great example of something I love about early silver age DC - overly detailed expository dialog!

Comic book cover for Doom Patrol #112. Cover price 12¢ from DC Comics. Caption reads “ THE WORLD IS AGHAST AT THE MOST INCREDIBLE ALLIANCE --THE BROTHERHOOD of EVIL AND THE D.P. BECOME BROTHERS IN BLOOD!” Negativeman, Elastigirl and Robotman are rampaging and destroying the city. In the foreground, a gorilla in a yellow blazer points at them, teeth bared, and holds aloft a brain in a tank of liquid as if it were a waiter’s tray. The brain says, “ エーTHE BRAIN AM NOW YOUR NEW LEADER! DESTROY THE CITY!”

here’s a #clzshake to start my day. Doom Patrol 112 from 1967, bought in 1996. Doom Patrol is one of the most eccentric and fun superhero books of the silver age - the creators just really seem to be having a blast issue after issue coming up with wacky ideas.

Screen capture from the CLZ app shows the comic book cover of Avengers #45. Captain America, Goliath, The Wasp, Hercules, The Scarlet Witch, Quicksilver, and Hawkeye are all doing battle with The Suoer Adaptoid, a ridiculously enormous android whose appearance is made up of replicas of parts of all their costumes. Lightning flashes across the background. The title reads “BLITZKRIEG ON CENTRAL PARK!”

Hi all! New account so my comics fun doesn’t take over my main. Got option paralysis about what to use for my 1st post, so why not leave it up to a #clzshake ?
Glorious John Buscema cover, bought in 1994. One of my faves from the post-Kirby run.
