Herb Trimpe was always one of my favorite Bullpen artists and despite his untimely passing some years ago, he still is. Famous for his definitive run on The Incredible Hulk soon after old Jadejaws got his title (for the second time), Trimpe went on to become a Marvel stalwart. He drew series as diverse as Ant-Man, G.I. Joe, Iron Man, Nick Fury Agent of SHIELD, Godzilla, Shogun Warriors and many more.
But one of the things I most remember Trimpe for was his delightful spate of covers for Marvel's western comic reprints of the early Bronze Age. Trimpe had a knack for portraying sprawling scenes of action with a strange ability to keep all the disparate figures in focus. Here's a heaping helping of some Trimpe classic covers. Enjoy!
