Great collection!
With respect, your #s 6 and 8 are just splotchy evocations of the Gogos style. Nobody could handle the color mix like he did. For The Bride, I refer you to FmoF #17.
Check out issues 9 to 12 and 14 to 17 for a stunning gallery of monster portraits, the best of the whole run, in my opinion.
This post was worth it for the wonderful artwork.
Basil Gogos is tops in my book. Just recently purchased "Famous Monster art by Basil Gogos". My all time fav is the #1 pick on this list.
Pierre, I can't deny the truth of your statement. Nobody can touch Gogos as far as these covers go. I guess I was trying to represent at least one or two of the covers from the current run of the mag.
