Creeping Death from Neptune
Creeping Death from Neptune: The Life and Comics of Basil Wolverton | Basil Wolverton, Greg Sadowski
1 post | 1 read | 1 to read
A pioneer from the first generation of comic book writers, Wolverton arrived just as publishers began embracing original material, turning away from the newspaper strip reprints that they had previously run with. Back in 1938, Centaur Publications gave Wolverton his big break, accepting such characters as Meteor Marvin and Space Patrol. The iconic Spacehawk would soon follow, with prime examples of this space hero featuring prominently here. The editors have gone to great pains to restore the work with subtlety and restraint.

I admit it – I picked up this book solely on the cover! The name Basil Wolverton didn‘t ring a bell but I had to know who this genius was who created such fabulous art. Turns out he was a comics creator who was born in Oregon in 1909 and began his career in the 1930s. This first volume (of two) covers his early years. I loved this book because Wolverton‘s old school space art is some of the best I‘ve ever seen. 💜
