A LOT of them are reprinted in a 2 volume Bill Everett archive set. I recently purchased both volumes and they are awesome!!! vaillant 1 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. Spyder!, sagii and Sqeggs 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thank you...I believe this is the most valuable money-wise book in my collection...I'm always surprised at what people are paying for some comic books.
