I haven’t really talked about artist Russ Heath, but he has this classic art style that hearkens back to the ’40s and ’50s. It reminds me a lot of Steve Rude, which honestly is the highest compliment I can pay an artist! #marvel #moonknight #russheath
Sep '66 #CoveroftheMonth. #THOR by #JackKIrby versus #GICombat by #RussHeath. Heath brings claustrophobic and diagonal design elements to war realism versus Kirby's cosmic mythology composition, which explodes outward in radial motion with circular kinetic force and curved vectors. Who Do You Got?
Buenos días, feliz miércoles. 🧡

Meant to get this out yesterday. Oops. 4 years after ending its entire superhero line, Marvel attempts a superhero revival, then ends its entire superhero line a second time a few months later. #YoungMen #HumanTorch #CarlBurgos #HankChapman #RussHeath #MarvelUniverse

Cover by #JerryGrandenetti. War realism meets horror stylization? Perhaps. Grandenetti is not as sharp as #RUssHeath or #JoeKubert but does solid framing and distortion because he goes for psychological impact. Excellent use of colors as well. #DCComics best cover for November 1963

Cover by #RussHeath. #SeaDevils April 1962 Like #JoeKubert. Russ finds interesting perspectives, like this funnel bringing the eye inward. Being surrounded is a comic cover trope, but this Vortek design amplifies the danger. I'll name it the "exotic peril" of the early '60s DC house style
January 1967 Cover by #RussHeath Another stunner from the master of angles. Dominated by a green tank, angled upward toward the explosion. A nightmarish shade of purple for the enemy. #diagonalmomentum #DCComics. #G.I.Combat. #FortressOfCovers #ExpressionistWarArt
Covers by #RussHeath. #SeaDevils #G.I.Combat. @toddmcfarlane.bsky.social Mr. McFarlane - Do you recall when you first saw the works of Russ Heath?
December 1961. In the early stages of comic covers, DC had #RussHeath masterworks almost every month. #SeaDevils but #Marvel wanted you to know they respected your intelligence. #JackKirby's work ethic will forever be unmatched by anyone. Who had the best cover this month?

June 1961 Cover by #RussHeath. As #JackKirby & #StanLee declared war on DC, they simply did not have the arsenal (yet) to compete with masterpiece covers like this. DC War titles were something to behold.
During the First Era of Modern Comics: June 61 - Dec 65 #DCcomics had #SheldonMoldoff drawing #Batman, #Detective, #Superboy, & #ActionComics. A legend of the Golden Era and co-creator of Poison Ivy, Mr. Freeze & Bat-Girl. However, no match for #JoeKubert, #RussHeath & #CarmineInfantino
Cover by #RussHeath - March 1964. DC Comics War titles were sublime. Using the explosion as the light source is a brilliant idea that highlights the purples and deep blues. The silhouette emphasizes their fragility. #DCcomics. One of the most magnificent covers of the 1961- 1965 era.
These early Sea Devil stories are awesome. Sea Devils 3; February 1962. Art by Russ Heath. #seadevils #russheath #1962
