Today in Comics History, January 20: Happy birthday, Keith Pollard!

Happy birthday to the amazing Keith Pollard, penciller on so many Marvel titles that were hitting the stands in the early 1980s just as I began my fandom and collecting days. In my head, so many Marvel characters have definitive portrayals by Pollard (Thor, Amazing Spider-Man, Fantastic Four)! In my book, his artwork is always a clean, crisp, action-packed treat.

And, Marvel Calendars love him too!
