From a cover only standpoint, my pick for the #1 golden age artist is Lou Fine. In my opinion, his cover work, with its strong pulp influence, makes most other golden age artwork look cartoonish. The following are just a few of his more classic covers. I don't remember ever seeing the original artwork to these though. Anyone have any information as to why? I think the Victor Fox destroyed the Fox Publications covers.

By the way Weird Comics 1 is by Tuska and #2 by Simon

Hey Jon,

 

Both The Gerber guide and CGC list #1 and #2 as Lou Fine covers. Overstreet also lists #2 as a Lou Fine Cover, but #1 as a Tuska. There seems to be some confusion. Are you sure that neither #1 or #2 are by Lou?

 

I'm a big Fox fan also

 

 

while. iam a big fan of lou fine. and l.b cole is nice. i would take a matt baker cover over both of them any day of the week. i would have to say he right up there with vargas as top dog of good girl art.

Just curious, is that because you favor (I don't know if you do or don't) GGA? Or do you think Matt's just the better all around artist?

I don't think too many people will argue about Lou Fine.

 

I'd add L.B. Cole and Alex Schomburg to the short list vying for the title of "Greatest Golden Age Cover Artist".

Schomburg would be my #2 for golden age artists overall, he's certainly the "Busiest". Look at the detail in the Captain America #28 and then compare it to the detail of the Fantastic Comics #3. This is why Lou is my choice for #1. Obviously, just my opinion.

I'd have to vote for Matt Baker or LB Cole.

I like Matt Baker's art also. I'd certainly have to give him #1 Golden Age Good Girl Art (GGA) artist (Kamen 2nd).
