BB-Gun Posted August 19, 2013 Share Posted August 19, 2013 (edited) PRIZE #47 also had this BRIEFER'S "FRANKENSTEIN". mm I like that splash. I modified this one for the Halloween post, I think. FANTASTIC!!! mm Thanks Marty but I am just an amateur compared to Flee. This is an example of his work. Not a splash unfortunately but lots of bubbles in the pic.

BB-Gun Posted August 21, 2013 Share Posted August 21, 2013 (edited) Meskin's work on The Vigilante is a treat to see. From Action 46 and 53... I loved reading these reprints as a kid. Airwave was another great backup character. Airwave was originally by harris Levy (aka Lee Harris) and he seemed to have a lot of fun with the strip.

BB-Gun Posted August 21, 2013 Share Posted August 21, 2013 Later work on Airwave was by George Roussos aka George Bell. He inked strips for Marvel using that pseudonym, I think. He also inked some of those Vigilante strips by Meskin. His version of Airwave was more of the dark detective-type which was a flavor he also added to Batman strips that he drew or inked.

BB-Gun Posted August 21, 2013 Share Posted August 21, 2013 (edited) I should probably put in a plug for the book about Meskin's art entitled "From shadow to light: the life and art of Mort Meskin".Published by Fantagraphics The photo above is from the book which is also reviewed on youtube if you can find it. And another photo of photo of Meskin while he worked in Simon and Kirby's shop. Is that Roussos on the left hand side? Photos of artists I used in this thread are from AC Comics website and the Michael D Hamersky On Comics Blog.

BB, I love the splash pages you and Marty have been posting. Thanks, guys.

BB-Gun Posted August 22, 2013 Share Posted August 22, 2013 (edited) Nice Splash Marty I found a few more Adventure comics and a few on line. Starting with Meskin and Roussos on Starman. These guys probably picked up the Starman strip because Burnley was busy doing Batman for the Sunday comics. The GCD credits Emil Gershwin for the Starman art and Pierce Rice for the Manhunter.in Adventure 84. The Bernard Baily Mr. America story was from Action 43.

jimjum12 Posted August 22, 2013 Share Posted August 22, 2013 ..... radical. I've been a big Meskin fan since I first saw his work reprinted in those DC 100 pagers. His work with Robinson is some of my favorite of all time. GOD BLESS.... jimbo(a friend of jesus) (thumbs u Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
