BOOT Posted December 4, 2009 Share Posted December 4, 2009 I'm definitely not an artist ID expert, but I do think this looks like Gollub's "children's book" style. The link you cited had only adventure/dino stories (at least that's all that I saw), which tend to be harder-edged. I wonder why the GCD credit has a question mark. The attributions by Alberto Becattini and some other Dell experts at GCD tend to be right. Take a look at Gollub's other credits at GCD (do a penciler search) and in particular Four Color 205 that's credited to Gollub without a question mark. I don't think 128 (or 205) is by Kelly. Jack Thanks for the info! I checked out some of his other work from GCD. They say he did the following cover, too, and there are some similarities, so it might be him. He was a talented artist!

BOOT Posted December 4, 2009 Share Posted December 4, 2009 Bah, humbug! I hate christmas covers! Even a scrooge like you must be intrigued by this weird hybrid. Everyone was trying to get in on the pre-code horror craze! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wrightson fan Posted December 4, 2009 Share Posted December 4, 2009 Here comes Santa Claus ( btw, that Flessel cover is fantastic.) Kenny, I have been looking for a decent copy of this book for the past two years......ever since we last spoke about it. Maybe one of these days a sweet copy will magically appear. Maybe just in time for Christmas? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BB-Gun Posted December 4, 2009 Share Posted December 4, 2009 This one is too large to scan. Eisner wrote a story with some Christmas Spirit, which was nice since he didn't celebrate the holiday. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BOOT Posted December 5, 2009 Share Posted December 5, 2009 I know it's SA, but it's a classic none the less. When I finally got around to seeing the movie, it didn't live up to the weirdness promised by that comic cover. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
