Great art throughout. A great book.

Incredible artwork

[@MichaelFitzTroyTV]

For sure.

You probably know this already, but if anyone doesn't, she was created first by author & naturalist William Henry Hudson in his book Green Mansions. Later immortalized by the legendary actress Audrey Hepburn in the 1950s movie of the same name. But I was a fan of the superheroine Rima when the Super Friends cartoon revived her. I didn't know about the Comic book series until recently. This is so cool. Viva Rima!!!

[@MichaelFitzTroyTV]

Rima is everything! I actually new very little of her before this- thanks for the great insights!

[@gloworm6387]

@@MichaelFitzTroyTV you're welcome. In the book & movie she wasn't like in the Comic or the cartoon, but I still think she had powers. I don't see any one else making their cloths out of extracted spider silk or warning the animals of danger. kzbin.info/www/bejne/fJy3kqVti69nrsk

Nestor Redundo and Alex Nino were/are Filipino artists. DC comics, under the editorial of Carmine Infantino, hired a number of artists from the Philippines in the early 1970s. On the one hand, it was kind of rotten of Infantino because he hired them basically as "scabs" because of union talk among the American artists. However, on the plus side, there were many talented artists in the group from the Philippines. As far as what titles to get by Nino, he did a number of "House of Mystery" and "House of Secrets" comics.

Yeah I had to look it up. SO AMAZING! Very Veitch/Bissette. dc.fandom.com/wiki/Nestor_Redondo

[@MichaelFitzTroyTV]

Thx Matt. I never knew all that. Kind of Shady. But gorgeous art.

[@MichaelFitzTroyTV]

Good comparison.

[@chuckgibson3973]

Love Alex Nino's stuff. He did a backup feature in Kubert's Tarzan issues that's just stunning. He did many that were great.

[@MichaelFitzTroyTV]

I ordered a book with his art. Can’t wait to get it.

[@chuckgibson3973]

Someone else that's a fan of Redondo... I swear, we like all the same stuff! You should check out that treasury sized book of 'The Bible'... Joe Kubert layouts with Redondo doing finished art. Probably my favorite Redondo work. Rima is beautiful as well. A hidden treasure to most fans.

[@MichaelFitzTroyTV]

Rima is stunning. I can’t believe the level of quality. I’ll look for the BiBle I’d love to have it.

[@chuckgibson3973]

@@MichaelFitzTroyTV -- There's more issues of Rima as well. Redondo did a lot of horror work in the 70s DC titles. That treasury is called Bible, The (1975) DC Treasury Edition #C-36 They have it at mycomicshop dot com

[@MichaelFitzTroyTV]

@@chuckgibson3973 I thought there were only 7 issues of Rima? I can’t wait to discover more of his work.

[@chuckgibson3973]

@@MichaelFitzTroyTV -- I'm sorry, you're right... there's only 7 issues. I'm thinking of when he did Swamp Thing after Wrightson left.

[@MichaelFitzTroyTV]

Yeah I need to check out Smamp Thing.

[@summeyanthony]

You should check out Nestor’s work on Swamp Thing too.

[@MichaelFitzTroyTV]

Thanks for the tip! I totally will. I’m in love with his art.
