It’s Sunday morning and time for another Sunday Scan! I recently finished collecting all 70 regular issues (and the magazines and Giant-Sized specials) of Marvel’s legendary Tomb of Dracula series from the 70’s. So now I am reading them straight through so expect many more issues to be featured in future Sunday Scans. This is the cover to issue #18 (1974). The art is by Gil Kane with inks by Tom Palmer who probably did the coloring as well. The Grand Comic Database also lists John Romita Sr. as doing “alterations” to the werewolf figure. I suppose there was something “wrong” with the way Gil Kane did the werewolf that needed some adjustment/correction? Anyone have anymore info on this please contact me.

Cell-Phone Video Rant

WTF? WHY people WHY? Why do you keep shooting your smartphone video in the upright portrait position? You’re DOING IT WRONG! I can see the argument for portrait “tall” still photos as it can be argued that photos are mostly viewed on smartphones anymore. And of course the default most natural way to hold your phone is in the up-right portrait manner. But are you making your videos simply to view on your smartphone? I think not. Video ends up being viewed on your computer monitor or your television. Are you spinning your TV in the upright tall position? It’s certainly possible with the right mount/stand but I really doubt this is a thing people do. So just STOP IT PLEASE! If you are going to shoot video turn your phone SIDEWAYS! Please.

Sunday Scan is back. Today’s cover is for Marvel’s Tales To Astonish #96 (1967). All of the creator database’s I’ve consulted indicate this one is by Dan Adkins. Looks a little like Marie Severin to me. I haven’t been able to determine who inked it either. If anyone has any additional information on this cover please e-mail me.
