Hollywood Confessions

I haven't posted in a while and thought I'd post a scan of a book I have been looking for for years.

 

Hollywood Confessions #2 - 1949 - Joe Kubert cover and 1 story.

Here's the other issue - Hollywood Confessions #1 - 1949 - Joe Kubert cover and 2 stories. These early St. John's are pretty hard to come by.

 

Outside of these two, I can't think of any other Romance covers that Joe Kubert drew.

Interesting books, ECFanMan! I find the position of the comic price a little strange on both covers (you'd think they would place it towards the top in an area where it is well displayed?)

 

Congratulations on your find!

 

If Kubert had not signed the covers, I would never have recognized the artwork. Are the inner stories more recognizable? They're not like his TOR books, which are obviously Kubert and immediatley recognizable.

The Kubert art on the covers and the stories is similar to his late 1940's Golden Age Hawkman stories and his work for Avon. The Tor's were a few years later and some of his best stuff from that period.

 

Now that Eisner has passed away, Joe Kubert is probably the comic artist who has been drawing comics the longest AND is still producing quality work today.

 

Here is another of his early St. John covers. Son of Sinbad #1 (1950).

I love this stuff! The "Atom Age" had the most unique and entertaining comics of any era.
