Celebrating Star Artist Greg Hildebrandt
..the cover for Star Trek: Year Five #1 (April, 2019) for IDW, featuring Kirk, Spock and the rest of the original crew of the Enterprise...
..all ready to go where no man has gone before.
This cover echoes a movie poster Greg did with his brother, Tim (January 23, 1939 - June 11, 2006) a long, long time ago....and we remember him this day as well.

Celebrating Artist Keith Pollard
Green Lantern #157 and #158 (October and November, 1982)
Green Lantern #159 and #160 (December and January, 1982 and 1983)
Green Lantern #161 and #162 (February and March, 1983)
#161 inked by Mike DeCarlo
Green Lantern #163 and #164 (April and May, 1983)
#163 inked by Rick Hoberg
An odd time for Hal Jordan, as the Guardians exiled him from Earth, to better take care of the rest of Space Sector 2814, but at least for some of the run, Green Lantern had Dorine for company as Hal faced Hector Hammond, the Headmen and Evil Star. Plus, the issues had back ups, with tales of the Green Lantern Corps (allowing Keith the ability to do Hal's stories in these issues).

See The Invisible Man
But, after H. G. Wells wrote the novel, after Claude Rains played him in the movie....there was the Classics Illustrated comic (#153 in November, 1959) with a cover painted by Geoffrey Biggs, and interior art by Norman Nodel, detailing the problems humans have with science gone wild.
Not the last time Wells' work would be adapted, as Marvel did it as well!

Welcome To The Future
At one point, considered the future...
...and to welcome you to this future is Superboy and the Legion Of Super-Heroes, in this bit from the Super DC Calendar of 1976 by Neal Adams and Dick Giordano in their finest 1970s attire (or is that 2970s attire?)!
