It would seem David Saunders has solved much of the mystery surrounding GA artist Jimmy Thompson: http://www.pulpartists.com/Thompson.html

That’s Sekowsky on that Tessie cover of Joker Comics #6.

The cornerstone of War is to dehumanize the Enemy. Dr. Seuss drew Emperor Hirohito's nose as a snout in his wartime cartoons.

Now that I look at that cover of Batman #18 (8-9/43) again, I think that the artist may indeed have intended the caricature to be Hirohito.

Despite what the CGC label says, that’s NOT Hirohito on the cover of Batman #18 (8-9/43) above. That’s General TOJO, leader of the Imperial Japanese Army {IJA) and Prime Minister of Japan (1941-1944) during most of World War II.

Hideki Tojo (1884-1948), with his close-cropped hair, mustache, and round spectacles, became for Allied propagandists one of the most commonly caricatured members of Japan’s military dictatorship throughout war in the Pacific.

Where's the "Get back, p*ssy... " from???

 

Read what Glory says in the second to last panel...

 

 

Although she was talking to the tiger.

Sorry, I should have been more clear. I meant what issue was that panel from???

Where's the "Get back, p*ssy... " from???

My artist guess on at least some of those Timely teen humor books would be Morris S. Weiss.

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.”

Is that Dan DeCarlo art on the Jeanie "Problem Child story???

Re: Blonde Phantom

It can't be easy fighting criminals while wearing a slinky red ankle-length evening gown and high heel peep-toe pumps!?!!

Wow, the writer (Bill Finger, according to GCD) sure put a lot of expository verbiage on that "Mystery of the Shocker" splash page. Was he being paid by the word???

 

Although this was the second issue of Miss America, it was the first issue in the new magazine format - which was specifically targeted toward teenage girls. I suspect Marvel felt there would be many first time readers, and thus a recap of Miss America's origin was in order. But that's just my hunch.

Sounds plausible to me. Even highly likely.

Luv those Miss America splash and story pages, Mr. LL.

Her talents was fisticuffs?

Does anyone know if all the Miss America art was by Pauline Loth?
