Yeah, when Infantino has long hair to play with, he's right in his wheelhouse!

He popped in for a few issues of Nova in which I enjoyed immensely!

He might have wowed on DR. STRANGE!  His Clea sure would have been beautiful.

++++++++++++

He did draw him once, inked by Craig Russell.

Although I think Mazzucchelli is his own best own inker, I enjoyed Denis Janke's inks over his pencils in Daredevil #226.

Speaking of Dr. Strange, a number of his covers boasted some interesting one-shot pairings.

DR. STRANGE #9 by Gil Kane & Dan Adkins
Not an especially unexpected pairing for the time, just one I don't remember seeing anywhere in particular.  (Doc's sleeves have an odd solid/muscular look though.)

DR. STRANGE #10 by Gil Kane & Tom Palmer
I often associate Klaus Janson with either Gil Kane or Gene Colan, but Tom Palmer only with Colan--never with Kane!

DR. STRANGE #11 by Gene Colan & Frank Giacoia
Gene Colan is such an ethereal penciler and Frank Giacoia is so solid--an odd choice.

DR. STRANGE #18 by Gene Colan & Al Milgrom
Again, Al Milgrom has such a solid-world ink line and to pair him with wispy, flowing, moody Colan is peculiar.

DR. STRANGE #35 by Gene Colan & Bob Wiacek
It's hard for me to place Bob Wiacek.  He's not shiny-sci fi like Bob Layton, light-and-shadowy like Klaus Janson, painterly like Tom Palmer, or super-solid and clean like Joe Sinnott.  My first instinct is to think of him as more on the technical-mechanical side, so I'm surprised how much I like him on Colan for this supernatural cover!

DR. STRANGE #41 by Bob Layton & Klaus Janson
An inker inking an inker!  And different kinds of inkers at that!  But it's effective!

DR. STRANGE #46 by Frank Miller & Tom Palmer
Again, I have often seen Frank Miller with sometime Gene Colan inker Klaus Janson but never with THE Gene Colan inker Tom Palmer!

Tom Palmer inked plenty of Gil Kane's covers and he inked Gil Kane a few times in the 90s but this is from the 70s. Journey into Mystery v2 #1.

Eric, that Frank Miller/Tom Palmer two-page spread from Amazing Spider-Man Annual #14. is a knock out! Miller has an excellent sense of design. The way my eye moved around the panels made the reading experience  almost cinematic.

I agree, Jose. Miller seemed to be great at page design and storytelling right out of the gate.

I've always been fascinated by the collaboration between Jack Kirby and Neal Adams -- two titanic talents with diametrically opposed styles, yet somehow looking great together. They've only done covers together, though; a shame they never got to do interiors of a book together. 

EDIT TO ADD: Hmmm .... shouldn't Jack Kirby + Neal Adams = JB? ;-)

Neal Adams' ability to smooth out Kirby's anatomical
wonkiness* without losing any of his energy or dynamism is
practically a superpower!

* I don't know if that's actually a word but I can't think
of a better way to describe Jack's distinctive approach to
anatomy.
