path4play Posted January 26, 2017 Share Posted January 26, 2017 Probably my fav. duck cover. The sentiment conveyed is very relatable and the expressions communicative. Amazing accomplishment through anthropomorphic cartoon animals. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Readcomix Posted January 26, 2017 Share Posted January 26, 2017 Picked this up on a business trip once. I had just purchased an OO collection of BA romance, about 120 Marvel/DC/Charlton, and headed to my hotel. On the way, I saw the LCS and spotted this from the window. I went back to the car, thumbed through the collection, pulled out a Night Nurse #1, and walked the rest in and negotiated a trade. I got a couple much lesser books thrown in too, but this is what I went I for. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

50YrsCollctngCmcs Posted January 26, 2017 Share Posted January 26, 2017 Who did this cover? It's pretty nice... I like the covers Buetner did. He also did some of the early Duck Four Colors; including Frozen Gold. Kelly's duck covers in the forties are more charming than the early fifties; some of which start to get a little busy. Too much Pogo by then perhaps? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Amazing accomplishment through anthropomorphic cartoon animals. For a long time I thought this was a Christmas cover until I realized that the candy, flowers, and March cover date meant it was a Valentine's Day cover.

Sqeggs Posted January 26, 2017 Share Posted January 26, 2017 Who was the crappy duck artist who did these covers and others in the same style...? I can't stand them... I'm not a great fan of Kelly's duck covers. Don't really like the heavy line work -- if that's the correct term. Also not crazy about the mayhem depicted on some of them (a point I've made a couple of times before), although these are pretty mild. Kelly's themes often seemed to reflect more the content of the DD movie shorts than the Barks DD 10-pagers, which Kelly didn't give much indication of having bothered to read.

Point Five Posted January 26, 2017 Share Posted January 26, 2017 I'm not a great fan of Kelly's duck covers. Don't really like the heavy line work -- if that's the correct term.

It's funny, I love Kelly's WDCS covers from the first 100 issues... #34, #36, #44, #69, #87 to throw out some random ones. There's probably a few dozen I like. But they were not consistently winners, and after #100 or so his style seems to get sketchier and sloppier. 1950's war comics 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
