BB-Gun Posted April 26, 2014 Author Share Posted April 26, 2014 (edited) I am always interested in collections of photos that feature golden age artists. This Treasure Chest comic is not golden age but it includes photographs of Reed Crandall, Joe Sinnott, Frank Borth and many others. Do you recognize them all? Artist #3 was Frank Borth who also drew Spider Widow and the Raven. The strip featured Phantom Lady crossovers. Thanks to the blog "Four Color Shadows" for the scan.

BB-Gun Posted April 27, 2014 Author Share Posted April 27, 2014 (edited) Abbie and Slats was also reprinted in Comics on Parade. Van Buren was the artist and Al Capp wrote the stories for a while. Edited April 27, 2014 by BB-Gun Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Arkadin Posted April 27, 2014 Share Posted April 27, 2014 Gus Arriola's Gordo is certainly one of the most visually distinctive strips of the era. Charles Schulz described it as "probably the most beautifully drawn strip in the history of the business." (from Wikepedia) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SOTIcollector Posted May 13, 2014 Share Posted May 13, 2014 Abbie and Slats was also reprinted in Comics on Parade. Van Buren was the artist and Al Capp wrote the stories for a while. I recently became familiar with Van Buren and Abbie an' Slats. Fun strip. I have some GA books with reprints of those strips, and also some bunches of strips that somebody cut from the newspapers. Since I'm a comic book guy and not much of a strip guy, I thought I'd put this out there... Anybody know if there are any resources out there that would help me identify the original publication dates of the strips that were reprinted in the comics? For example, I have some issues of United Comics with Abbie an' Slats. But how can I tell which strips those United Comics reprint? I've had no luck with GCD, but thought perhaps somebody more knowledgeable about strips could point me to a similar database for strips. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Arkadin Posted June 8, 2014 Share Posted June 8, 2014 Clifford was a great strip by the famed Jules Feiffer, early in his career. Feiffer was working as a writer on the Spirit at the time, and Clifford appeared on the last page of Spirit sections from July 1949 to the end of 1950. Unfortunately, the strip wasn't published by the Philadelphia Bulletin, so Clifford doesn't exist in tabloid size format. A real shame, because the strip would have looked fantastic at that size. The strip was collected (in black and white) in the book "Feiffer: the Collected Works, Volume 1". Here's my latest - with a perfectly executed gag!

BB-Gun Posted June 10, 2014 Author Share Posted June 10, 2014 I like the Clifford strip. I found a few pages of Bob Oksner's Cairo Jones while rummaging through my Sunday pages this week. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
