Via PCL Linkdump: A Flickr pool dedicated to cool mid-century (1950s) book covers, advertising art and displays and all sorts of other stuff from a bygone era.



-----------------

Cool sharity from Pinicchio: Emil Richards - New Sound Element: Stones. And from Xtabay: Marty Gold - Moog Plays Beatles. And from Scar Stuff: Alfred Hitchcock - Music To Be Murdered By and Ghost Stories For Young People.

Rare video on Sonic Pollutions: Jimi Hendrix freaks out the BBC.

Here's a cool site dedicated to those "treasury format" comics DC and Marvel put out in the 1970s. Somewhere I have big Tide detergent box full of these. If it didn't get lost during my last house move. Which I fear might be the case...

-----------------

Adam and Andy Kubert, comic artist sons of the great Joe Kubert, are taking over DC Comics' big guns later this year, with Adam handling penciling chores on "Batman" and Andy penciling Superman in "Action Comics."
