Herb Trimpe To Mid-Ohio Con

I know Herb Trimpe's decision to attend a convention in Columbus after earlier opting out isn't really news of the kind this site generally concerns itself, but I'll take any opportunity to post one of Herb Trimpe's cool-looking Incredible Hulk covers, which I enjoy as one of the better efforts in that second, underrated wave of effective Marvel cover art (aka Marvel's last period of effective cover art) featuring folks like Jim Steranko, Neal Adams and Barry Windsor-Smith.

I believe Trimpe's covers may have been heavily art-directed by Marie Severin, but I'm not 100 percent sure about that. It doesn't help matters I couldn't tell a Marie Severin-drawn Hulk cover from a Marie Severin-designed, Herb Trimpe-drawn Hulk cover if my life depended on it. They're all fun to look at, though.
