Help identifying joe kubert drawings 0

[visarspike]

Hi

 

I need help to authentify 2 joe kibert drawings

 

They were apparently done for a restrospective exposition, then offered  or sold, don t know, to a friend in belgium

 

Hawkman drawing is i think a recreation for the exposition and isn t signed

 

The other one has a small signature

 

I think that if they were fakes, the faker would have done a fake signature too , but i need advice

Or if someone knows hox to contact his sons  for help?

Here are the backs pf the boards

 

By the way, the drawings are about 10 x16 in size, on thick boards

Huh.

Have you gone on CAF to see what Joe Kubert's sketches, inscriptions, handwriting and signature look like? 

Here's one.  He doesn't misspell "and" in it, which is a good sign.

Here's another.  There are a lot to compare with:

I'm pretty sure the artist is Al Dellinges.  I believe he did a lot of Joe Kubert recreations and homages over the years.  If you google his name, you'll see several examples in this style along with an "Al" signature that looks similar to the one in the first image.

I actually found an identical Hawkman piece on Heritage when I took another look:
