Keeping with the music theme from yesterday morning, but nothing really to do with Comic Book or Fantasy Art, here's some photos and a video of Wanda Jackson, the Queen of Rockabilly. Born in 1937, she began her music career in 1954, she hit it big in 1960 with her recording of "Let's Have a Party." She continued into the 1970's with a string of country and gospel music hits. She has been enjoying a revival of late, appearing at music festivals and with musician Jack White.
A collection of comic and fantasy art plus artwork from the Golden Age of Illustration and whatever else sparks my interest.
