Popular Post vaillant Posted January 15, 2019 Popular Post Share Posted January 15, 2019 And while I am at it… reposting some italian Superman apocrypha from March 1940. The story is particularly weird because Superman fights an evil american businessman to help an italian aviator. badback83, Larryw7, MrBedrock and 4 others 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sagii Posted January 17, 2019 Share Posted January 17, 2019 (Double Post) Finally picked up this under the radar unintended double entendre cover. The "Mmm" doesn't help matters either, or the guys comeback. Every time i read the word balloons i chuckle. And if iv'e got to explain this one to you....

For all the cool things the Fantastic Comics 3 Robot Cover is in it's detailed genius, this one is a masterwork for it's simplicity. Looks like a vintage French Advertising poster.

I first found out about him many years ago when reading a fanzine article on his work on the Owl in Crackajack Funnies. That’s a great book!! Hadn’t ever come across it before. I agree with that Sqeggs guy: Frank Thomas (1914-1968) did a lot of fantastic covers, but doesn’t get much recognition these days. This blurb is from Lambiek: Franklyn Thomas illustrated the syndicated 'All-American Football' strip in 1938, before working as a comic book artist in the 1940s. He did features for both Centaur ('Chuck Hardy', 'Dr. Hypno', 'The Eye Sees', 'Solarman') and Dell ('Billy and Bonnie Bee', 'Buddies' and scripts for 'Little Scouts', Marjorie Henderson Buell's 'Little Lulu' and Walter Lantz' 'Andy Panda' and 'Woody Woodpecker'.). Also in the 1940s, he made the 'Dinky Doyle' daily. In the following decade, he did the 'Going West' strip (1951-54), as well as 'Hossface Hank' (Al Smith Service, 1955-64). Between 1955 and 1965 he was ghost artist on Mik's 'Ferd'nand' strip. sagii, Spyder! and Sqeggs 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
