The Black Hand ® Posted September 30, 2006 Share Posted September 30, 2006 Issue 4 I love this cover. That's not DeCarlo is it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
143ksk Posted September 30, 2006 Author Share Posted September 30, 2006 I don't think it's DeCarlo. The face on Moronica reminds me a lot of Al Hartley's work, but... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Montezuma Posted October 1, 2006 Share Posted October 1, 2006 I had been told at one time that it was an artist named Owen Fitzgerald. No idea how accurate that info is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
143ksk Posted October 1, 2006 Author Share Posted October 1, 2006 Well, it at least sounds less like a guess than my comment In studying the art, I came to the inescapable conclusion that the farmer looks strikingly like his chickens Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scrooge Posted October 1, 2006 Share Posted October 1, 2006 I had been told at one time that it was an artist named Owen Fitzgerald. No idea how accurate that info is. The thing that's been holding me back is the level of realism on the girl's face compared to other Fitzgerald work. It's an interesting artistic choice on his part if it's his cover. Here are some Fitzgerald's girls - Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Apotheosis Posted October 1, 2006 Share Posted October 1, 2006 While these are pretty cheap when you can find them they are really hard to find. I'd like to upgrade the #4. #1 is easy to find so it hasn't been a priority for me... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ft88 Posted October 1, 2006 Share Posted October 1, 2006 Rogue prototype? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Montezuma Posted October 1, 2006 Share Posted October 1, 2006 Nice, the only one I'd see before was #1 which has a pretty generic teen-ager / Jalopy cover. Now I need to put these on my want list' Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kakapo Posted October 1, 2006 Share Posted October 1, 2006 Rogue prototype? I had no idea there were so many esoteric humour titles out there...never even heard of any of these before. It's nice to see something new! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shiverbones Posted October 1, 2006 Share Posted October 1, 2006 never saw any of those sugar bowls before, didn't notice them in Gerber either. They are really odd looking! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lotemo Posted October 2, 2006 Share Posted October 2, 2006 Just finished this run. Glad it's short, 'cause they're not too easy to find. Those are nice books! They are De Carlo aren't they? It's amazing how many "Archie" looking books there were back then. Since this series starts with #5, what was the title previously? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
143ksk Posted October 2, 2006 Author Share Posted October 2, 2006 Yes, at least the first 2 issues are by DeCarlo. There seems to be some controversy as to whether number 7 is by him... I'm not sure what the title was before it became Jetta. I assume it's in Overstreet and I suppose I should look it up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lotemo Posted October 2, 2006 Share Posted October 2, 2006 I should have mentioned, I looked in Overstreet and unless I just totally overlooked it, it didn't mention the previous title. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not sure what the title was before it became Jetta. I assume it's in Overstreet and I suppose I should look it up. Standard started a number of their 50s title with 5. Similar to the way that Ziff-Davis started with 10. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lotemo Posted October 3, 2006 Share Posted October 3, 2006 Thanks for the info on Jetta! Here's a few new ones. Marvel's Kathy #1 has the same gag as Patsy and Hedy #1 And some Irma's Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
