Groovy Age Splash Page of the Week
Groovy Age Spotlight On...Splashes from Iconic Groovy Age Comics!
Covers! We love 'em! Many, many, many fans buy comics based on (and often just for) the covers. BUT...many, many of us dig the insides, too! So, Ol' Groove thought it'd be a cool change of pace to revisit some of my favorite (you can share your favorites in the comments if'n ya wanna) "iconic" Groovy Age mags via their splashes instead of their covers! So, here are 10 splashes from comics that slayed me, one per year from 1970-1979 (yeah, I could've done 1971-1980, or whatever, but... whatever! ;D) Remember: these are from comics are iconic to ME. They may not mean a thing to you, but that's the fun of lists like this: deciding whether to applaud or slap your forehead and wonder "Why'd he pick THAT one?" Oh, and it's not necessarily the splashes that are iconic, but the books that they, well, splash on. Have fun, Groove-ophiles!
