Mystery In Space No. 70 // Sept. 1961 // DC - Carmine Infantino/Murphy Anderson cover art.
HAPPY 100TH BIRTHDAY to my favorite comic book artist of all time, CARMINE INFANTINO 👑 ⭐️ When I started this IG account six years ago last month, I set out to collect every Adam Strange issue of Mystery In Space that Infantino penciled, and have many fond memories of spending that pre-pandemic spring and summer of 2019 digging through boxes at Mysterious Time Machine in Manhattan and Koch’s Comic Warehouse in Brooklyn (RIP to both 😢) looking for the goods 🚀 And so it only seems fitting that my first post on the day that marks 100 years since Infantino was born be a good ol’ #AdamStrangeSaturday and #SilverAgeSaturday one ☄️ 🪐 🛸
⬅️ SWIPE ⬅️, as always, to check out Carmine Infantino and frequent collaborator Murphy Anderson giving us the Silver Age goods in one of my favorite stories, “Vengeance Of The Dust Devil!” 💫!

The Flash No. 107 // July 1959 // DC - Carmine Infantino/Joe Giella cover art.
So, technically this was a pickup in December of last year…but I didn’t post it until this past Flash February ⚡️ A slight bending of the #Top31ComicFindsOf2024 rules, perhaps. But often books come my way in December that are worthy of this particular roundup a year later 🤷🏻‍♂️ At any rate, I grabbed this Silver Age dynamo at LA Comic Con at the tail-end of last year 🦍 Notable for the #secondappearance of everyone’s fave Flash villain, Grodd 🦍 ⬅️ SWIPE ⬅️ to catch more of Infantino & Giella’s amazing artwork from inside ⚡️.

HEYYY-O! It’s time to kiss this year goodbye by kicking back, hitting the eggnog and OF COURSE recapping all your fave pickups with #Top31ComicFindsOf2024! It doesn’t matter if you already posted them throughout the year…most of us naturally have! Think of this as a “greatest hits of ‘24” kind of month! Whatever you bought that was your favorite, join @comicbookselfmedication and I in posting one each day (or just however many you picked up, if it wasn’t quite 31) all through December ⭐️ Personally, my selection is going to be QUITE THE HODGEPODGE. Let’s get to the damn thing! 💥💫 📚

Action Comics 422. Cover by Nick Cardy. My final #nickcardynovember post for this go around anyway. See you next year! This issue features some wonderful Swanderson art, which is to be expected. The story, about a teen duped into murder by a low-rent actor, is par-for-the-course Bronze Age Superman but there are enough humanistic touches to make it palatable. (March 1973)

Western Comics No. 49 // Jan - Feb. 1955 // DC - Carmine Infantino/Joe Giella cover art.
Just because it’s been a whole week since I posted a cover with him, did you think I’d finally learned my lesson and discarded Pow-Wow Smith like yesterday’s bird carcass? 🦃 FvCK NO! I saved my three favorite covers with the Indian Lawman for the final two days of #SixGunsAndSideDishes 🌵 🤠 In fact, here we see my king climbing up the side of my house last night to come get his bird stuffed 🐴 And the great thing about this time of year? LEFTOVERS ALL WEEKEND 🌵🌵
⬅️ SWIPE ⬅️ to catch Carmine Infantino and Joe Giella turning out some classic Pow-Wow action with cover story “The Trap At Fort Vault!” ⭐️.

Just gonna keep the #SixGunsAndSideDishes roll going with Madame .44, here making her second appearance 👩🏻‍🦰🤠 In this one, some bandits do some BS, Johnny Thunder goes temporarily blind, there’s a wolf on a bridge at some point…then BAMMO!! Madame and Johnny FINALLY HIT it! 🥰 🌵 🐴 I couldn’t fit all the pages in, but you can ➡️ SWIPE ➡️ to catch some really beautiful interior artwork by Kane & Joe Giella for cover story “The Eyes Of Johnny Thunder!” 👀!

All Star Western No. 117 // Mar. 1961 // DC - Gil Kane/Joe Giella cover art.
You know what, buckos? Johnny Thunder lead a pretty chaste life until sharp-shootin’ GINGER GODDESS Madame .44 made her #firstappearance right here in this issue of All Star Western 👩🏻‍🦰 🐴 She not only made three back-to-back-to-back appearances in the series -- granted, in the FINAL THREE ISSUES BEFORE IT WAS CANCELED -- but she also charmed the Levi’s right off our gun-toting hero and saw them drop down around his ankles 👀 This #SixGunsAndSideDishes dynamo was one of my top pickups last year. 🌵 🏜️ ⭐️ ➡️ SWIPE ➡️ to catch some of Kane & Giella’s interior awesomeness in cover story “Six-Gun Showdown With Madame .44” 🔥!

Bat Lash No. 7 // Nov. 1969 // DC - Nick Cardy cover art.
Sadly, western rascal Bat Lash had a short run in his initial outing -- and we’ve come to the final issue for #SixGunsAndSideDishes and #NickCardyNovember 🌵 Flipping through this one, I can’t help feeling that the Don Pasqual character was at least loosely based on Eli Wallach’s hilariously unforgettable turn as Tuco in The Good, The Bad And The Ugly 🤔 ⬅️ SWIPE ⬅️ to catch some interior action from the last issue of Bat Lash’s original late Silver Age run … which, appropriately, has a November cover date 🤠🐴.
