Wings Comics #105 (May, 1949). Art by Bob Lubbers, Kurt Caesar, Frank Fermonetti, Alvin Hollingsworth, and Maurice Whitman.

While I can understand a lot of the covers for Jungle Comics looking the same, which might turn some people away, they’re definitely well done for what they are. Has some of the best comic book art produced for the time I feel.

I noticed that for Fight Comics #43 as well. Manages to share some consistency, but also distinction.

Matt Baker (Fight Comics #43, April 1946):

Fight Comics #21 (October, 1942). Art by Dan Zolnerowich, Rafael Astarita, Pagsilang Isip, and Rudy Palais.

Fran Hopper apparently didn’t draw any covers, though her interior work such as for Camilla was still pretty stunning I thought:

Jumbo Comics #36 (February, 1942). Art by Dan Zolnerowich, Seymour Reit, Robert Webb, and Will Eisner.

More info regarding Daniel Zolnerowich: Brooklyn Daily Eagle newspaper from November 1, 1936 reporting Zolnerowich as president of the B division of First-year illustration at the Pratt Institute, at age 21: A Pratt Institute graduate photo of Zolnerowich‘s face from 1937, presumably at age 22, along with some more info: Source: https://alphabettenthletter.blogspot.com/2013/06/school-days-pratt-institute-and-golden.html

Some of this was posted here years ago, but I thought I might as well have it posted again: Brooklyn Eagle newspaper from June 8, 1939 reporting Chuck Mazoujian as a graduate from the Pratt Institute at age 21: A picture of Mazoujian‘s face, presumably at age 21: Some more info regarding Mazoujian: Sources: http://alphabettenthletter.blogspot.com/2013/06/school-days-pratt-institute-and-golden.html http://strippersguide.blogspot.com/2015/05/ink-slinger-profiles-by-alex-jay-chuck.html

That the “Baron” signed in various Lev Gleason comics was thought to have been Hanna-Barbera animator Tom Baron, but turned out to be movie director Allen Baron: https://pappysgoldenage.blogspot.com/2008/12/number-442-boxing-day-noir-americans.html

Recently checked out Magazine Enterprises’ western comics more closely, which they seemed to focus on the most and put a lot of care into, having artists such as Fred Meagher, Joe Certa, Bob Powell, and DickAyers working on Tim Holt, Straight Arrow, Charles Starrett as the Durango Kid, and the like. These samples in particular are from Best of the West #1 (September, 1951): There’s also Frank Bolle (Tim Holt #22, February 1951):

Yeah, they go way back. They were probably the earliest founded publisher that later published comics, which is more apprehend when considering that publishers like Fawcett were founded in 1919. Source: https://www.pulpartists.com/StreetSmith.html
