If things go as I plan, next week I will have a post on a silver age Captain America cover. I will be tracing the influences on this cover back to the early days of the golden age of comics, before Captain America was even created. Also discussed will be the various artists that were involved in the creation and/or destruction of the final cover. Included will be some images of some rough work that I do not believe has ever been published. So see stay tuned.

Sounds fun! Any hints on which cover?

I love the blog, but don’t get a chance to visit often, as I mentioned in my very late post to the de-lurker week entry.

Please keep up the great work — it is appreciated.
