Is that Ditko artwork? It looks very Ditko but it's so sunny and cheerful...
ReplyDeleteIt's credited as pencils and inks by Mort Meskin, but I thought Ditko when I saw it also. Mort did johnny Quick, Vigilante and other comics in the 40's.

He was ressurrected as Golden Man in Thunder Bunny # 3.
ReplyDeleteHe had spent 37 years imprisonned in suspended animation.
"Golden Lead" would be the BEST name for a character. That should totally be Element Lad's new name.
ReplyDeleteGL's costume bears a dorky resemblance to that of Pureheart the Powerful.
"Meskin was fabulous, I couldn't believe the ease with which he drew: strong compositions, loose pencils, yet complete; detail without clutter. I loved his stuff"
