Some stunning and trippy sixties art work from the Dell comic book series Doctor Solar: Man of the Atom.
The first few covers (before the advent of Solar's costumed identity as revealed in the last image) were painted by Chicagoan and science fiction artist Richard Powers, whose impressionistic, other-worldly covers and illustrations had won him science fiction's prestigious Hugo Award (he did a lot of those cool Yves Tanguey-inspired paperback covers for Ballantine Books), but who did no other work in comics before his death.
I wonder what surreal images Powers would conjure up today to hold a mirror up to these most surreal times?
Enjoy!

Seeing this made me thought of the days back then when I usually have such huge wall paper of galaxy, super heroes fighting with their enemies and all.. Fun time, thanks for the share of those photos. Happy weekend!
