Ken Meyer Jr.’s Ink Stains 35: Frazetta, Wrightson, Steranko and More!

If you’re a fan of fanzines, then you’ve got to check out Ken Meyer, Jr.’s monthly column Ink Stains.  Each month Ken (who is an amazing artist) posts… well, let’s let Ken explain…

I have a collection of over 200 fanzines from the 60’s-80’s that I plan to scan and talk about, one at a time. I hope to have some of the participants answer a few questions. Many of those participants are established comics professionals now, while some have gone on to other things. I will show a few snippets from each zine and give you a link to download a pdf of the whole thing, which I hope all of you will do!

For Ink Stains 35, Ken took a look at Infinity 2 from 1970.   Edited and published by Adam Malin and Gary Berman.

Until Ken’s post, I had never seen or even heard of Infinity 2.  My loss because this fanzine is jam-packed with great stuff.  Infinity 2 starts with a Frank Brunner cover (with more interior Brunner art), has art and an interview by Berni Wrightson (interestingly enough the interview was conducted by Doug Murray who went on to write the Nam series for Marvel after serving in Nam himself), art and an interview with Frank Frazetta, a Steranko Black Panther sketch, a Virgil Finley portfolio, sketches by Dave Berg, Jeff Jones and more.  What a find!

Ah, the memories of the glory days of fanzines.  Thanks to Ken Meyer, Jr. for making these available!
