Shot Out of the Sky

When I was a boy (man I say that a lot these days), when I was a boy you could get a big handful of comics for less than a buck. And getting a big handful of DC war mags was worth its weight in .50 caliber bullets. Joe Kubert and Russ Heath were so great in packing each page with pulse-pounding blood and thunder (though come to think of it, we rarely saw any blood--if ever). Each panel was straight up jammed with seemingly authentic detail. These two comics below were my favorite covers of hundreds of other DC war favorites.

About Me

My photo
Thomas Haller Buchanan
My name is Thom Buchanan. I'm an artist and photographer. People are my favorite subjects to portray in art and photos. My wife (and studio partner) has called that my 'people skills', as I've been passionately creating portrait studies for many years. I refer to myself as a pictorialist, a combination of image-making and journalist. Images are my life.
View my complete profile
I intend to share many of my pictorial treasures, some not terribly rare, but terribly meaningful to me. I like to zoom in on details along the way and share what has inspired me in my career as an artist. And I would like to examine the value of pictorial images, not in terms of money, but in degrees of imagination.

I refer to myself as a pictorialist, not just in my set of skills, but in my lifelong appreciation of the skills and talents of artists, illustrators, cartoonists, sculptors, photographers, typographers, and graphic designers. I'd like to share that appreciation with anyone who stumbles into my little world.

It's a good little world!
