Green Lantern No. 56 Cover by Kane & Anderson
A great cover to a great issue of Green Lantern from 1967. The creature is reminiscent of Jack Kirby’s Thing for Marvel’s Fantastic Four and bears some resemblance to The Abomination from The Incredible Hulk, a character Gil Kane also designed.
Kane’s image composition and figure dynamics were steadily evolving, separating himself from the more sedate style he’d started with on GL eight years earlier. Murphy Anderson was one of DC’s most-polished inkers – and a great penciller in his own right – and he keeps the energy in Kane’s pencils alive with his slick inks.
Colour by me.
