So I have sabotaged myself again because of my usual perfectionist habit and what has begun as a normal - if somewhat unusual for me - birthday post for Al Williamson has effectively ruined all my hopes of catching up.

To explain this, I called this post unusual because so far I have done only one birthday post for Al Williamson and like with writer Ann Nocenti it was all about their contribution for Ann Nocenti´sDAREDEVIL runwith artist John Romita Jr. which is my all timefavoriterun on the series bar none .

But after so many posts on this subject I have almost run out of original art pages from that series and I don´t like to do posts about inkers - although Al Williamson has also worked as a penciler - without some original art pages because I feel that they show off their work best.
And I already had enough material for half a post so I thought I would just go on the internet, look for a few more pages of original Al Williamson art and do the post. But where I at first had not enough material for a decent post now I had too much and had to decide what to include in this post.
Because as longtime followers of the blog know I don´t like to separate original art pages that are from the same series or the same kind of comics so that it was a process of elimination based on which stuff I just had to put into a special post. As some of my readers may know Al Williamson had worked in the comicbook business for a lengthy time so not only has he lent his pencils to such titles like NEW MUTANTS or DC COMICS PRESENTS he also was one of the many talented artists on EC Comics classic cult comics, mainly in WEIRD SCIENCE, WEIRD FANTASY and WEIRD SCIENCE FANTASY when the two books merged. Which will get a spotlight post.
