That Time Frank Borth Drew Spider-Man

Yeesh.
I even leave threads dangling when i'm picking up dangling threads.

As you may recall, a few months back we went back to see when Frank Borth had the Spider Widow meet the Spider-Man. I was supposed to follow that up with that time, decades later, when Borth drew our more familiar Spider-Dude...


Yet, not quite The End.
In that same issue, Frank also did this two-page spread -


We leave you with this lovely piece done for Monsters Attack (obviously, since they spammed it) the previous year, in 1990 -

A Case Of Don

Don Lomax was the feature of our first Un-Comic way back in our 13th post, but we haven't seen him since. Let's fix that with today's edition of



Case Morgan is something of a free dive into the murky waters of Don's primal urges and desires.
Let's let him explain it...

Blue Grass (sans music)

It seems like at least half of the stories drawn by Grass Green featured nudity and sex, making him a natural candidate for this week's edition of


As is now standard policy, this post is being published on The Other Voice Of ODD!, the 'back room' for this blog. The text is posted here for you to be able to decide if you wish to go view the artwork.

Text Of Post:

Something i can relate to about Green was his insistence on creating material that was fun for him, prioritizing his personal enjoyment of the art over potential career options. For years, Dennis Kitchen tried to get him to do stories focusing on social and political themes so Green's work would fit better into Kitchen Sink's comic line-up. Perhaps we were left with a diminished legacy when Richard Green died so young, but hopefully he enjoyed his time in this world more for following his own desires. And he did gain recognition for his work in the industry even if he wasn't widely known. Even publications like Heavy Metal magazine drew upon his talents, though you likely might not have noticed at the time -


In the early 90s, Grass produced four issues of Horny Comix & Stories for Rip Off Press-



It featured pretty much whatever Green felt like creating, including his female 'Tarzan' strip, Gina Of The Jungle...



...which ended with one of the all-time great shock-takes in comics:



I love that face - i may make a t-shirt based on it.

Here's a quick peek at some of what to expect in Horny C&S -



 Warla is one of Grass Green's recurring characters. Let's stop peeking at pages and look at some full stories, starting with Warla's adventure from the second issue of Bizarre Sex -



Another of Green's regular characters was Hobo Hal. Hal was your typical down-n-out guy living rough on the road, with one small exception. Everyone wanted to "ride the hobo express", no matter where he went. You can imagine what happens when he wanders into somebody else's adult comic, like when he showed up Cherry Jubilee (because, apparently, Poptart was already taken)...



That's the typical ending to a Hobo Hall tale - run, Hal, run!
This story, from Grass Green's Good Jive #1 is probably the best summary of Hal's experiences...



Seriously. Everybody wanted to ride.



Our final tale today comes from Bizarre Sex #1 -



Oddly enough, Grass re-used this story almost 20 years later, changing from Incest to Sinnin' the title to match the title of the comic in which it appeared:



Condolences to the fannyless among you who took that bet.

everything by Grass Green for Bizarre Sex #s 1&2, Cherry's Jubilee #3, Good Jive #s 1&2, and Horny Stories & Comix #s 1,2&3 (1971, 1972, 1991, 1993)

Blue Mary Finale

Welcome back to our Blue Monday celebration of Mary Fleener's work - step right in!


Before we take a look at some of her covers, let's take a quick peek at a few comics.
This one seems right at home with Fleener's visual style-


NOTE: The following 2 pages, and much of Mary's artwork below,
 contains nudity and has been moved to our back room for adult content.

How's your Lawrence?




Confused?
The Swiss publication, Das Magazin, has a feature entitled Werke der Weltliteratur (Works Of World Literature) in which they ask artists to translate a classic novel into a single comic page. As might be expected with such an endeavor, it helps tremendously if you're familiar with the original material.

Here's a couple more from Mary:



Yes, she does use words! (In case you were starting to wonder)
Of course, she may incorporate said words into the art...





Mary's works are as uniquely personal expressions as her artwork might suggest. The source material is often her own life and surroundings, and the events shaping her world. So, it might help a bit to know a little about her, eh?
Let's let her tell it:




I can relate. Creating my artwork is my best therapy. (I sure hope we get that system fully functional soon so i can resume therapy)

You were promised Covers with you Comics, so let's view some now.
Here are 10 covers from Mary Fleener -















Mary is the kind of Twisted Sister i quite enjoy. We'll look more at some of her longer comics on another day - we've already got a pretty full post with three cubed pics.
So let's wrap with a just few more bits & pieces of Fleener flair -












I'm so feeling the Coppertone.
I may have to use that last piece as a colouring book page and have fun with it.

While i'm doing that, you can learn more about, and see more from, Mary Fleener at her website. Perhaps more importantly, you buy some of her original paintings, too.
