| Captain America by Jim Steranko, inks:Joe Sinnott, script: Stan Lee Captain America #111 (March 1969) |
To my mind Jim Steranko is the second greatest Captain America artist ever and he only drew three books! Pencils on #110 and #111 with inks by Joe Sinnott and script and pencils on #113 which was inked by Tom Palmer. Each issue is a true classic.

I was privileged to actually hang out with and talk with Jim at a Con in 2011 and he told me flat out that he would have drawn Cap for years in a perfect world.
ReplyDeleteThat really would have been perfect, Steranko would have had much more freedom under Roy Thomas.
DeleteCertainly some powerful images and no mistake. Great stuff.
ReplyDeleteSteranko and Sinnott were such a fantastic pairing. Do catch their SHIELD stories in Strange Tales if you get the chance--it's just pure eye candy.
ReplyDeleteThey certainly are a great pair and as you point out the place to appreciate them is in the pages of Strange Tales!
DeleteAgreed - he does a great Captain America. His art really gives off the vibes of "action" and "things happening". It is truly too bad that he couldn't have spent more time on Cap. I especially loved the cover to #110 with the Hulk and Bucky - that is just awesome!
ReplyDeleteI know that Steranko was famous for his Nick Fury work, but what other characters / titles did he spend time on?
He did not do a lot of work for Marvel, or DC for that matter. Apart from Captain America he did Nick Fury: Agent of S.H.I.E.L.D. #1-3, 5, Our Love Story #5, Strange Tales #151 -#168, Tower of Shadows #1 and X-Men #50-51
DeleteSome of Steranko's Captain America issues were reprinted in Marvel Super Action #12 and #13, Essential Captain America Volume 2, and Marvel Visionaries (2002). In 1983-84, Marvel published Steranko reprints in Captain America Special Edition #1 and #2 and Nick Fury Agent of S.H.I.E.L.D. #1 and #2. IIRC, the latter also included a romance story, probably from Our Love Story #5.
ReplyDeleteIIRC, Steranko did covers (but not interior art) for Hulk Annual #1 (1968) and Doc Savage and Shanna the She Devil #2 and #3. He also inked Gene Colan's pencils for the cover of Daredevil #44.
ReplyDeleteYes, you are right, the Hulk Annual cover is the highly memorable image of Hulk supporting the logo, one of the best covers of all time!
DeleteThe trouble was that he wasn't anywhere near prolific,too good for his own good,and couldn't keep the pace.When on "Nick Fury" for "Strange Tales",he only had to do 10 pages a month,before given it's own title.
ReplyDeleteHe was probably the best artist of his time period though then,but the're often the ones that go quickest.
