Chaykin was pretty fucking impressive back in the day.

Chaykin continued Fortune's tales as a backup feature in the pages of Rampaging Hulk Magazine. I'm happy to continue if there's any interest.

Terry Austin used to be so fucking slick. What happened to him that he had to go all wedgy and with single line weights?

Thank you for reading and bumping

Thanks, OP!

You know, one thing I wasn't sure about the first time I read this years ago was if The Silhouette was working with the guy and trying to distract Dominic from saving the ambassador, or he's just seriously a complete idiot.

>>92861486
For comedy's sake, I think its the latter option. For being so associated with the pulp aesthetic, Chaykin takes the piss out of it all the time

>>92854939
Imma gonna save that cover, and maybe even read this whole thing.

It's a slow work day, so I'm going to storytime The Scorpion, the character Chaykin created for Atlas Comics and then repackaged as Dominic Fortune for Marvel after he was fired

He only worked on the first two issues of the Scorpion. I'll post both of them and if people want I'll post the third issue as well

The Scorpion is actually Chaykin's second attempt at this sort of pulp hero, as Fortune was the third and arguably his best. Though a case can certainly be made for Ironwolf and Reuben Flagg

Chaykin's first was Cody Starbuck, a Space Opera swashbuckler from the pages of Star Reach. I can't post it here due it being NSFW and all

Thanks for the storytime OP! A question: anyone knows something about the chaykin history for the Ikusager anthology "Norte/Sur"? I know its called "The smile of Hitler". Here are the only two images google can provide.

That he did. Also partnered with Silver Sable in "Sable and Fortune"

>>92861563
He doesn't really care for the pulps as much; I think he was more interested in the Burroughs stuff and sword/sorcery when he was a kid and the crime books like Westlake's (Parker and the like). I think there's still some aspect of it that appeals to him, probably the setting mainly.

>>92863669
The setting for sure. Most of his stuff, as long as its not sword and sorcery, carries a 30s-40s America vibe
