I like the mid-80's stuff. Miami Vice with dragons. You can't fuck with that.

"how is this not a seward thread"

I DO appreciate Boris! Even if I'm more of a Frazetta man when you get right down to it. There is already a Boris -vs- Frazetta thread. this one should be Boris -vs- Michael Whelan.

Michael Whelan's elric covers fuckin ruled.

There's some other guy who did a lot of the Moorcock stuff in the eighties that I really liked. Why the hell can't I remember his name.

― Ned Raggett (Ned), Monday, 8 May 2006 15:10 (nineteen years ago)

I didn't even consider a search for this.

If I ever get a tattoo...

i remember these. they were ads. you don't get ads like this anymore.

― scott seward (scott seward), Monday, 8 May 2006 15:46 (nineteen years ago)

it's a shame, really.

what's rich corben up to these days? he was my ultimate fantasy booby god as a pre-teen.

― electro-acoustic lycanthrope (orion), Monday, 8 May 2006 15:51 (nineteen years ago)

Ads?? For real products? Oh man. I thought this kind of stuff was solely the preserve of vans, shitty barbarian flicks and sci-fi books.

This should be on my Cheerios.

― ZOT! (davidcorp), Monday, 8 May 2006 15:53 (nineteen years ago)

his den series used to freak me out as a little kid. den had a huge penis. the colour stuff that he did for the warren magazines used to blow my mind. beyond lurid.

Anyway, no other artist examined the issues of the space barbarian and slave-girl community better than Boris.

― Nemo (JND), Tuesday, 9 May 2006 01:58 (nineteen years ago)

The bizarre netherworld here...dear me.

Thomas -- the third Deathstalker movie was turned into an MST3K episode, easily one of their best.

Corben did a 2 issue Hellboy comic recently. His stuff is still beautiful/creepy squat 3D.

i think this stuff might be the first place i was made aware of the concept of "the thong."
