Description
Time Tunnel #1 Original Cover Art by George Wilson (Gold Key Comics, 1966). The cover artwork for The Time Tunnel #1, published by Gold Key in 1966 and painted by George Wilson, is a striking example of classic comic book art that perfectly encapsulates the adventurous spirit of the TV series.The cover features a dramatic and vivid portrayal of the Time Tunnel itself, a central vortex that dominates the composition. Painted with Wilson's signature style, the Time Tunnel is rendered with swirling, dynamic lines and a blend of bold, vibrant colors-primarily electric blues, fiery reds, and deep oranges. The swirling motion of the tunnel creates a sense of depth and energy, drawing the viewer's eye into the action.
In the foreground, the two main characters from the series, Dr. Doug Phillips and Dr. Tony Newman, are depicted in heroic poses. They are shown in detailed, realistic attire, with expressions of determination and urgency. Their positions and expressions emphasize their roles as intrepid adventurers on the brink of extraordinary journeys.
