Heavy Metal Aug. 1981, "Outland": Happy Birthday, Jim Steranko!

 Happy birthday to writer/artist Jim Steranko (born Nov. 5, 1938)! From Heavy Metal Aug. 1981, the movie adaptation "Outland"; adaptation and art by Jim Steranko. (Because the story was told mostly in double-page spreads, I couldn't fit the entire image of each panel on my scanner, and as you can see, the images are "broken" by the magazine's fold...sorry I couldn't provide complete, "uninterrupted" panels.)

Supergirls Calendar, January: Jim Steranko

One of my traditions on the Tumblr blog last year was to start each month with a pin-up from Jim Steranko's 1974 "Supergirls" calendar. Since I need to repost the material here, I'll repeat that tradition on the first of each month...here's the "Supergirls" page for January. (This is an image I found online, rather than a scan from my own copy of the calendar; I am not the "Captain George" whom Steranko dedicated this autograph to.)
