This is the Creature from the Black Lagoon with his quarry, drawn by the the American comics artist Bill Everett (1917-1973) who was the creator of Namor the Submariner and, I just discovered to my pleased surprise cobbling together this post, also a descendant of William Blake. The image has been reblogged from this 4 July 2015 post at Infernal Wonders.
Oh wow! At the image AND the information. I think I eye elements of the Submariner style burning bright in that piece.
The quality of comments on this post is unusually good.
And did those flippers in ancient time
Plop upon England’s mountains green?
And was the holy fish of god
On England’s pleasant pastures seen?
