Don`t worry, it`s not a genre I have any interest in. If he had produced some painted covers, on the other hand... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

selegue Posted September 11, 2007 Share Posted September 11, 2007 Here's one you don't see every day: Jackie Gleason and the Honeymooners 6, April-May 1957. It's a Gerber 7 and one reason you don't see it every day is that it's missing from the Photo-Journal. Here's what an in-depth user comment says on imdb (I'm no TV expert): THE JACKIE GLEASON SHOW-(A Hour Long Comedy-Musical-Variety Show) Produced by the CBS Television Network which ran from 1952-1971. First Telecast of the Program: September 20, 1952 Last Telecast of the Program: September 12, 1971 The Black and White Episodes: 1952-1966 The Color Episodes: 1966-1971 ... "The Honeymooners" was made into a weekly series which ran for one season from 1955-1956,producing 39 episodes. ... Among the characters that were created by Jackie Gleason in addition to "The Honeymooners",among them Ralph Kramden,were The Poor Soul,Joe The Bartender,The Loudmouth,Reggie Van Gleason III,Rudy the Repairman, and Fenwick Babbitt. There's lots more detail at imdb. I just wanted to give a little context. Jerry Bails' Who's Who lists for this series only: ROY, MIKE DC COMICS JACKIE GLEASON AND THE HONEYMOONERS (pen/) 1956-57 NADLE, LARRY DC COMICS JACKIE GLEASON AND HONEYMOONERS~ (ed/) 1956-58 plus PEPPE, MIKE inking the St John series in 1955 Here's the cover. It looks a lot like Owen Fitzgerald's Bob Hope artwork to the world's worst art-spotter (me), but I don't know what Mike Roy's work looks like. The book opens with a Honeymooners story: Charlie Bratton, the Loudmouth: And more -- no time to scan them all: The Poor Soul (if I remember right, those were always pantomime on the TV show, and it has only captions here). Reggie Van Geason the III Mother Fletcher presents Stanley R. Sogg and the Late Late Late Late Late Late Show Charlie Bratton, the Loudmouth again It looks like the book followed the outline of Jackie's comedy/variety show closely. Any help on the penciler or inker? Jack Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheWatcher Posted September 11, 2007 Share Posted September 11, 2007 Wait for adamstrange to see your post. I'll bet he knows, or has a good idea who did it. Angelo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
adamstrange Posted September 11, 2007 Share Posted September 11, 2007 I'm afraid I'm not much help here as this is not a title that I collect or artists that I've read much about. I do see a little Mort Drucker in the face of the waitress in the second splash but that's much too little to go on as the other figures are not typical of his other work at this time.

Drucker would have been my next suggestion. You think he might be on the story, not cover, pencils? Celebrity humor books really are the fetid backwaters of DC collecting, aren't they? Thanks for looking. Maybe the GCD discussion lists will come up with some ideas. If not, I'll index with lots of questions marks. I hate doing that.

adamstrange Posted September 11, 2007 Share Posted September 11, 2007 I think the cover and the second splash are by the same person -- not so sure about the first story as I'm getting different vibes. There's something about the tapping fingers on Jackie on the cover that remind me of Drucker as well. In general, Drucker was doing figures that were full with stocky but expressive hands (he told he was consciously working on drawing hands well and utilizing them to tell stories more effectively). It's worth a reach out to him or a Drucker expert as I'm by no means certain. There are definitely artists working the DC funny animal, teen/TV, and romance that I don't know at all or at all well. Any chance you can scan more pages from that second story? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
