World´s Greatest Artists : Mike Kaluta

Initially I wanted to do the second part of Tom Palmer´s Ragnarock Thorsday but when I saw that comic artist par excellence Mike Kaluta celebrates his 69th birthday Today I decided to change my plans.


Now a lot of people ask me why I do so many birthday posts and the answer is that I often get so wrapped up in things that I tend to write about the same things over and over and this way I get to bring more diversity on the blog. I also get to post some of the art pieces I just keep hoarding and it also reminds me to continue with some of the series I used to read like BOOK OF MAGIC of which I have a few trades but somehow lost interest. At first I just wanted to use the black and white pieces I had of Mike but since those were not enough I made a little picture hunt which is one of the reason I´m running a bit late with this. As usual this is not supposed to be an accurate representation of Mike Kaluta´s career just a selection of the art I like. And I promise the second part of the Tom Palmer Thorsday post is only delayed not canceled. 


For more on Mike Kaluta the ALCHETRON has a short biography and you can find a longer one on this website . Thanks go to the RAGGED CLAWS NETWORK which has a whole slew of Mike Kaluta post is where I found the Korak page and NOTHING BUT COMICS has an interesting post about Doug Moench´s post - Crisis Spectre series that had Gene Colan doing the art.
