Amazing stuff!
Reminds me a bit of Toth's work for 'Standard' comics..
What was the publishing date on this?
Hi Rich
This is from 1954. It does kind of resemble the Toth/Pepe period.
I felt the same way, Shane, about Marie Severin's work in Not Brand Ecch! Now I absolutely LOVE her work and prefer it over anyone else's in that mag... even The KIng's!!! Funny how the eye matures.
Interesting. It definitely has a Toth feeling to it. I do like some of Don Heck's work for Marvel. His drawings are not as energetic or dynamic as Kirby or Buscema, but his drawings have a great life to them, a subtlety that gives the characters personality. I love the facial expressions Don Heck draws. Very life-like.
Nice stuff.
I like how the characters are so detailed, with so many wrinkles that they become abstract.
When Heck was told to ape Kirby's style on books like the Avengers, his artwork lost a lot of what make it great in his earlier work.
Don's work on the early Iron Man stories and the pre-hero Marvel fantasy stories are simply wonderful.
Just check out some scans of his 50's work at Marvel (Atlas):

Holy crap! I'm with you, Shane, the name "Don Heck" instantly had a lulling effect on me in the past, but this is beautiful!
It's like a Krigstein, Caniff and Ditko mash-up. Really cool stuff.

These great, thanks for sharing!
Heck was a terrific artist for crime and horror, but he was not a super-hero artist. He really hurt himself trying to fit into the Marvel Bullpen style.
He was also severely compromised by many of his inkers.
He also fell into the trap of being the "fast guy" - they guy they called when they needed 20 pages over the weekend. He was too valuable as a "fill in" artist when someone else messed up to be given a long run on a book where he could settle in and get comfortable.
Some of his best stuff at Marvel was on the "Black Widow" strip - I think in Amazing Adventures - with nice inks by Bill Everett. He handled it like a spy/crime strip instead of going all Marvel Superhero with it.
He also did some really nice work on Marvel's horror titles, which were a much better fit for him.
A very underestimated artist done in in his later years by needing to do the wrong material in the wrong style in a terrible situation.
Just my two cents.
I love Don! I agree with AtlasMonsterFan... I'm a big fan of all of his Pre-Superhero stuff, especially all the really awesome earlier stuff he Inked himself, and even his first Superhero work like Iron Man and Ant-Man.
Later on he seemed to have gotten a little sloppy. I really have nothing (except his work) to base this on, but I have a feeling he (and likely every other Penciler at Marvel) was pushed by Salesman Stan to be more Kirby-like, and that's when his stuff got less interesting.
But even in that period he did some really sweet work... some of it Inked by Giacoia, and an awesome Avengers Issue Inked by Romita Sr.
I also think he's one of Kirby's best Inkers. That issue of Cap and a few Thors were really gorgeous.
I heard Dave Stevens speaking to a few other Pros about how Don was his favorite Kirby Inker.
