Gil Goes West!


Once upon a time Gil "Sugar Lips" Kane was the main cover artist for Marvel Comics. His images dominated the newsstands as he cranked out cover after cover for the "House of Ideas". While not all of them are gems, they are all full of the particular energy Kane could bring to his imagery. He seemed able to find that singular moment when the potential action was at its most compressed.  Something about the westerns though seemed to bring out his best dramatic work as evidenced by this score of covers from that vintage Kane era. Enjoy!
