I'm not quite as pessimistically misanthropic as Wolverton comes off in this story, but I think that he's largely nailed the essence of civilization's evolution in just one peppy news bite.<br /><br />One of my very favorite things about that Moon Monster is his moon base. I think he's standing somewhere near the south pole. He'll look right side up to New Zealanders. You could always just make his warts yourself with green Play-Doh balls...Mr. Cavinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01634994342702518448noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2136311233296776036.post-2990509067559796912021-11-26T19:07:58.223-06:002021-11-26T19:07:58.223-06:00Basil Wolverton, like Steve Ditko and Lou Cameron,...Basil Wolverton, like Steve Ditko and Lou Cameron, had a style and look that few could match, let alone exceed.<br /><br />The Moon Monster (Moonster?) has that crazy 50's sci fi horror look to it, something you would see on a late-night horror movie, with or without a horror host. <br /><br />Another great find, Karswell.JMR777https://www.blogger.com/profile/03538238702295526065noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2136311233296776036.post-30824015715783296042021-11-26T00:48:10.677-06:002021-11-26T00:48:10.677-06:00I think I'm good with removing the warts, the ...I think I'm good with removing the warts, the thing is, in the photo, his head looks both hairy and warty, and I suspect they just went with hairy. It's a great sculpt! I love the tongue and the bloodshot eyes! He's such a cool mismatch of monster bits, hair, scales, talons, etc.<br /><br />That's a fun comic I've seen a number of times. Wolverton might not be to everybody's taste but when it came to spaceships and monsters, he was awesome. I especially like how good he was at drawing bad people, they always looked evil from the get go, and that works well for these morality tales.<br /><br />Happy Thanksgiving!Brian Barneshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15737535617796413548noreply@blogger.com
