Here are some illustrations from cartoonist Abner Dean’s(1910-1982) book “It’s A Long Way To Heaven”.Abner Deans a cartoonist I’ve become a bit obsessed with for one thing he’s very mysterious there’s not a lot of info on him but mainly for his art obviously just from these alone you can tell Dean had quite the imagination his surreal cartoon drawings in this book can range from interesting to disturbing but no matter what I love them all and I’m a bit upset we can’t know more about this artist.

Color Barnaby Strip By Jack Morley who did the art for the strip during 1946-1952 while the strips original creator Crockett Johnson(known for creating Henry and the Purple Crayon) began to focus on writing kids books I honestly really enjoy the way this looks Morley was very good at imitating Johnson’s style and the color choices are nice.

A few vintage pulp sci-fi covers. With aliens, Amazons and monstrous Gods you never run out of ideas.
