I cant recall what machine I saw repro plastics for (it was a monster
theme) but it looked very much to me like Jack 'the King' Kirby did the
artwork...or possibly someone performing a very convincing mimic of the
style. Jack was great with monsters and large breasted women who were
always in danger.

I could give examples but if you weren't into comics since the mid 70's
it won't mean mutch ;-)

That may have been FyrePower plastics. They very much look like Kirby
art.
art.
The Morison art on Gott.AmzingSpyderman and Hullk was also done very
well.

The artwork by Con. Mitchell of the alien monsters on the plastic sets
for Firepower, are a direct swipe of Jack Kirby artwork or style of
work.
Also the artwork and layout of the Backglass (again by C.Mitchell) for
WMS BlackOut is a direct swipe of a comic book cover for Nick Fury,
agent of S.H.I.EL.D. that was originally done by Jim Sternako, who was
swiping Kirby.
Some of the Gordon Morrison's artwork on GTB games, have figures that
look a lot like depictions of figures seen in comics drawn by Gil Kane
and Steve Ditko, IMHO.
But I do not believe any Marvel comic book artist ever did artwork
direct for any pinball machines.
Frank Frazetta's Conan artwork was used on the limited release of a
head to head cocktail pin called WAR.
Frank Brunner (former Doc Strange artist) did do the side panel artwork
for a Cinemtronics video game back in the 80's, though, can't remember
the name of the game.

FP was what I saw...now I need to see pcitures of the old Spidey
(wonder who will do the new one!) and Hulk. Oh Kirby Hulk! So much
different than HerbTrimpe's work, but very interesting just the same.

Jack auto-graphed a 1st Issue Special of ATLAS for me, but I dont
expect that to go anywhere.
Thanks again
