Mike Kaluta was born on this date in 1947. I first noticed Kaluta's work on DC's adaptation of Carson of Venus and on The Shadow. He was one of the four members of "The Studio" alongside Barry Windsor-Smith, Berni Wrightson, and Catherine Jeffrey Jones. He created some outstanding covers for DC, and none more entrancing than his work on Madame Xanadu for Doorway to Nightmare.
Rip Off
A superior artist along with the rest of "The Studio". The original art pages are easily a testimonial.
ReplyDeleteI'm reading some Elric of Melnibone novels illustrated by him. Outstanding stuff!
