Giant-Size Blog Headers
Online friend Richard Guion (aka Cousin Dick) was kind enough to give this site a couple of plugs on his blogs Giant-Size Marvel and Giant-Size Geek, and I returned the favour by making new blog headers.
Giant-Size Marvel
Richard’s previous header for Giant-Size Marvel.
The banner was based on Giant-Size Defenders No. 1.
To make the new header, I sourced a Captain Marvel logo and a full figure of the character. These would be combined with the Giant-Size Defenders elements.
The final header.
Giant-Size Geek
Richard’s previous header for Giant-Size Geek.
Richard wanted a DC focus for this one, and so I sourced a 50¢ Giant template for the base design.
Added to that would be Justice League of America figures by José Luis Garcia-López from the 1982 DC Style Guide.
The final header.

Marvel Comics Giant-Size Cover Template
There have been lots of comments on my rebuilding and colouring of vintage comic book covers. Now, it's your turn. Here's a template for Marvel's Giant-Size comics of the mid 1970s.
Super DC Giant S-20 The House of Mystery Cover by Neal Adams
DC had a robust reprint program throughout the 1960s and 70s, and the Super DC Giant series had a great run of re-presented vintage stories. Colour and packaging by Scott Dutton.
Marvel Treasury Edition No. 8 Giant Super-Hero Holiday Grab-Bag Cover by John Romita
When having a bunch of super-heroes in your living room at Christmas was considered a happy thing instead of a terrifying occurrence. Colour by Scott Dutton.
Giant-Size Chillers No. 3 Cover by Hannigan & Wrightson
From August 1975, this was a reprint issue of horror stories wrapped in a new cover. And what a cover. The darn thing nearly leapt off the rack at you and it remains a favourite, so giving it an updated treatment was a natural thing for me to do.
