The selection pick seemed to imply presenting a max number of deserving artists ideally about a common theme which is not obvious to the #Kuratr for these 4 covers
Why those 2 Byrne covers together?
Do you disagree he has done literally hundreds as good or better during his long illustrious career
Well done
You're still the fact checker I always appreciated
I need neuron refreshment to change my leaners to ringers more often
Allow me to to present you w/
the #Kuratr 's first awarded No Prize
Sadly the World's Greatest Comic went unacknowledged by me until the King took his 4th world to DC
based on personal experience, #Kuratr doesn't believe it would be hard to find 100s of covers by George! that most everyone would appreciate more
reminds #kuratr of the simple little sketches that the recognized & soon 2B pro artists would share with 70s fanzines, especially the popular #RBCC
Rockets Blast Comic Collector is the publication which introduced him to the #1 all-time fan & best emulator of the Duck Man Carl Barks, Keno Don Rosa
Is this a mockup homage or a test of AI verisimilitude?
Looks like a great mashup of the style of old popular magazines
#kuratr doesn't recall ever seeing this cover b4
it's reminiscent of some Weird Tales magazine covers from WWII era & some later fanzine versions
what is month & year published

did frank get a bit of help from Mike Ploog on those rocks? #Kuratr needs to know
The great artistry of Gil Kane
His anatomical hand-iwork is a stylistic fingerprint on everything he did at DC & Marvel
Like Burne Hogarth, see if you don't like Kane's final spectacular work at DC where he got the chance to ink some of those crazy compositions that often rivaled Ditko's
#Kuratr
reminds one of Shatter and early 80s Chaykin GNs & American Flagg
#Kuratr doesn't waste time sharing info about things unworthy of appreciation. Check it out
There's so much great stuff from past available online if you know the right "experts" to consult
Reminds one of a favorite Bugs Bunny masterpiece by the unsurpassed team of Jones & Maltese.
Does not the skyline of their WB achievements tower over 99% of their contemporary competition
The 1rst #Kuratr challenge of 2025

The #Kuratr has seen heaven featured in many movies & expects it won't resemble any of its' tangible portrayals
He'd bet even true believers would be disappointed if it didn't have music playing somewhere as astounding as the version of an ancient Xmas standard below that often elicits tears of joy
FB's Superman
HB's Jonny Quest
CN's Samurai Jack
are the #Kuratr 's choice for the 3 Greatest of our Time adventure toonz produced in the 20th century
Can any of his fellow animation fans suggest even a single other American series more worthy that MIGHT fit in better w/ the other 2?
Good Luck 1/
When I first saw Tarantino in Manhattan Beach almost 40 ya, I thought he could have been the nephew of RK
TC looks like a model for the classic Vision character minus yellow cape
3rd looks like a follower of Zod, that the #Kuratr never heard speak or appear in another film that made it big in US
#Kuratr first saw her in a Gervais mini series that reminded him of the Rise & Fall of Reginald Perrin
She was one of several fleshed out characters that became sympathetic in time despite their actions
sb bingeable in an evening & worth tracking down
The #Kuratr thought it would forever be impossible to achieve til this year when YT helped confirm another way to enjoy it more
Any who can open simultaneous YT instances can verify these inarguable improvements by switching to the multiple specific additions at the appropriate times #MWIWM
Here's some more info about the show that I&I worked on after playing Sir Robin & his minstrel in MP & the Holy Grail

Unlike most of the 4 & 5 star choices the #Kuratr usually suggests, this 3* selection is offered as a gift for its' Xmas & comedic significance
Nestor Redondo artist, if the #Kuratr 's memory is correct. one of dozen or so 70s DC Filipino artists
Story in the limbo era between Wrightson & Moore
The #Kuratr offers a rare BW treat that always induces waterworks at the immense display of honor portrayed by so many in the final 15 min of #HailTheConqueringHero
Unlike almost every other #PrestonSturges comedy seen, the tears are not from laughter
NL Vacation fans will have their eyes opened
The #Kuratr finally saw it just weeks ago & was reminded of how one could transverse LA N2S or W2E in 30 minutes on good days 40ya. #Hope2C soon an aerial photo of that time for that corner. It looks like it was on NW corner of CBS Television City where #RealTime w/ Maher shows were/are recorded /1
Aldo Ray carries a pet snake that Ibsen would have loved
Sadly the #Kuratr can't recall Ray in any other film roles
Basil Rathbone is at his own cold-hearted reptilian best near the end of his career
Leo G Carroll tops himself as a befuddled husband not unlike the one he played in the film #Topper
#TradingPlaces isn't the only Xmas comedy about capitalist criminals exploiting temporary spikes of market demand to maximize profits
The #Kuratr discovered #We'reNoAngels on TCM 40ya. It stars Bogie in arguably the best comedic role of his career. Peter Ustinov is a miraculous safecracker

Just Another Crazy Idea
/1A
The #Kuratr predicts the Winter campus scenes will spark pleasant memories for Judy Collins & Christine Ebersol, of the small college where their own matriculation occurred over 50ya. A decade after Eleanor Roosevelt once spoke at its' library
Just one of the many third degrees of Pi /2
If able, try to view the episodes of A Meeting of the Minds by Steve Allen that PBS once broadcast. Not sure, but I believe John Hurt played Blake.
The #Kuratr stopped pledging PBS when they stopped rerunning it & shows like I, Claudius
Demon stories are a real treat to see.
Some of Kirby's best
makes great double feature with Becket I bet. Prince John not quite as canny as Claude Raines' in Robin Hood. Hard to believe his later starring role in Excalibur with Patrick Stewart.
The #Kuratr found the amounts of treachery displayed almost farcical at times
Many seem like they're partially inflated unlike the hyper over inflation of Bottero's? figures
The #Kuratr suggests you first read the Neil Gaiman #Eternals story with stupendous double page spreads by Romita Jr that Kirby inspired.
Expect you'll love Jack's #Demon volume best
It would be remiss of the #Kuratr to silently allow Great B&W films to be forgotten by younger fans
4 on the list, unreplied upon below, are classics that many may cherish forever after a single viewing
Those that make allowances for the art & culture of the past will find a wealth of treasures 1/
#Kuratr 's Best B&W film #Angels
1 Dudley in The Bishop's wife
2 Clarence in It's A Wonderful Life
3 Gabriel in Over the White House
Advise viewing 2 before 1
& then The Philadelphia Story
3 concerns top-down problem solving. See
Mr Deeds Goes to Town & Meet John Doe
for bottom-up attempts
There's a flashback montage near the story's conclusion that illustrates how some parents can go just to far to please their loved ones ;) The #Kuratr was gasping for breath before it came to its' logical abrupt conclusion.
Checkout #YoungRock season 2 premier for a Great Christmas Carol variation.
Those that crave heartwarming movies with a bit of solid sustained LOL during this family season should seek out #ILovemyDad starring
@pattonoswalt.bsky.social
The #Kuratr can't remember laffing so loud & long since first viewing #TheresSomethingAboutMary & Nielsen's #NakedGun flix. 1/
