Re: Meet Miss Pepper (posted on Page 94)
The Bob of “Bob + Joe” on the Miss Pepper covers is Joe Kubert’s army buddy, Bob Bean. Joe penciled and Bob inked, I think, though they may have switched roles on some stories. Bean went on to found (or co-found) Wylde Films, where he made a string of over 1,400 commercials for every kind of product there is.
Bob Bean also directed the Twentieth-Century Fox film, Made for Each Other (1971). In an article in New York Magazine, Dec 13, 1971, Bean says, “I figure
I’ve shot as much footage as John Ford and more character situations than Hitchcock, so the technical side of making movies didn’t scare me.”
