Secret Hearts #121 (July 1967)
Illustrated by Tony Abruzzo
Hey! I'm back! Let's dive right in with a little fashion for this fine
Monday, shall we?! This "Mad Mad Modes for Moderns" featuring
African-influenced prints is from one of my favorite romance comic
illustrators, Tony Abruzzo. If you can get past the outdated and
stereotypical copy, the art is quite beautiful. Pretty hard to believe
from this 1967 piece that Abruzzo was one of the primary artists that a
certain Mr. Roy Lichtenstein
appropriated just a few years earlier! However you may feel about
Lichtenstein and his work (more on that in a future post), I think it's
not hard to argue that in this particular instance, Abruzzo's style is
one of a kind and would have been pretty tough to emulate!

These are great; on par with some of Kirby's wild designs during his New Gods/Eternals phase. Why don't sci-fi movies take advantage of some of these outfits, such eye-candy !
ReplyDeleteEye-candy indeed. Even the hair in this one is on the sci-fi side!
DeleteGreat to see you back!
