BB-Gun Posted January 26, 2014 Author Share Posted January 26, 2014 (edited) Superman Sunday pages from Joe's hometown during WWII. It was probably Wayne Boring doing most of the art at that time wasn't it. Edited January 26, 2014 by BB-Gun Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Arkadin Posted January 26, 2014 Share Posted January 26, 2014 Superman Sunday pages from Joe's hometown during WWII. It was probably Wayne Boring doing most of the art at that time wasn't it. That's cool. Dunno if this has been posted before, but here's a Canadian Heritage commercial about good ol' Toronto boy, Joe Shuster. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BB-Gun Posted January 26, 2014 Author Share Posted January 26, 2014 These are all tabloid size and I store them with the Superman Sunday tabloids. BEAUTIFUL!!! mm Thanks Marty. When Eisner's work was on display at the Jewish Art Museum in NYC, his tabloid pages were chosen to be part of the exhibit. Also found were paintings by Schomburg and pages by Robinson and Fine.

Arkadin Posted January 26, 2014 Share Posted January 26, 2014 These are all tabloid size and I store them with the Superman Sunday tabloids. Love those Spirit tabs! Those are all from the Philadelphia Bulletin Fun Book. I just have one example of the entire Fun Book. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Here's a portion of the FUN BOOK Section from a couple months earlier...it also had a full page of MANDRAKE THE MAGICIAN and a full page of HOPALONG CASSIDY...who was very big on Philadelphia TV at that time. mm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sqeggs Posted January 26, 2014 Share Posted January 26, 2014 Got this Spirit section recently. Clifford by Jules Feiffer was the regular back page strip from mid-1949 to the end of 1950 (thank you, Grand Comics Database). The one on this section is particularly fun for comic book fans! The reference on the back cover to Viet-Nam is presumably to the French fighting the Communist insurgency. I can't recall many U.S. comics dealing with that war.

They were so popular that a TV series was created and broadcast from 1952 to 1954. I remember the TV show and I had to have all of the Hoppy western toys for Christmas (well at least the hat and cap pistols). Boyd was king of the merchandizing. A local antique shop has a Hopalong Cassidy bike for sale. It is in pretty good condition and painted black, of course. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Spirit and Mandrake got top billing most of the time but I did find some Hoppy stories. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tri-Color Brian Posted February 6, 2014 Share Posted February 6, 2014 Superman Sunday pages from Joe's hometown during WWII. It was probably Wayne Boring doing most of the art at that time wasn't it. That doesn't look like Wayne Boring. He was the worst Superman artist to ever draw the comic...he always drew Supes flying feet first...what a schmuck...

Ameri Posted February 6, 2014 Share Posted February 6, 2014 I was surprised too, but I looked at the Overstreet and it does mention the swipe saying "cover pose swiped from last panel of a Jan 1939 Flash Gordon Sunday page." It's January 22, 1939. Here's the whole page Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's January 22, 1939. Here's the whole page you are right. The OSPG does mention it. Someone reported to Overstreet for the 42nd (2012 Ed) so it's recently been noted. Anyone know who found this swipe and reported to OSPG? Good catch Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
