Those ROM covers are some of my favourites from the early 80s, same with that PM&IF #67. The 'White Tiger riddled with bullets' from Spec Spidey #52 is my favourite from that era. Don't forget... the cover to ROM # 1 was by Frank Miller as
Thank you so much! I have been looking for these pinups for ages. Saw your link on Chris Nye's blog and checked it out for the first time. I dig the overall tone- great research and analysis. I put it on my reader. BTW-Thanks for the covers…

I'm a Spanish comic (and cinema fan) who has discover your blog today. I think it's very interesting and I'm going to follow you. And this post is very sad. Ostrander is a great writer who made me dream a lot of times in my youth. I'm going…
