Cover Me: Frank Miller Goes Indie

Just a quickie this week (new job, time consuming, etc., etc., etc.), but it doesn't take long to give ya a snapshot of Frank Miller's independent cover artwork from the 1980s. Check it out!


But wait, there's more! Just to make this post a little more filling (tastes great!), here are Frank's Famous Detective centerfolds from Ms. Tree #'s 1, 2, and 4 (still looking for the centerfold from #3...)


IMPORTANT NOTE: BMwC is going to be taking a short hiatus (a week or two) to give me time to get ahead on everything. When BMwC returns, it will be moving to SATURDAYS, by the way. Stay tuned!

Cover Me: Frank Miller at Marvel

Before Frank Miller became Frank Miller, while he was making a name for himself on his first Daredevil run, Marvel Comics utilized Miller's talents on dozens of covers. Aside from those he's most associated with (Daredevil and the various Spider-Man titles), Miller's art did the spinner-rack boogaloo on...

Captain America...


The Incredible Hulk...


Moon Knight...


Power Man and Iron Fist...


ROM... Spider-Woman... Star Trek...


And many other titles--a few of them, I think, will pleasantly surprise you...


But wait! There's more! Miller also dabbled a bit in the indie/direct market arena during the mid-to-late 1980s. Where? Stay tuned!
