Nice! As long as we're on a Nellie kick...

I think that the covers on #22 and #27 are by DeCarlo. #26 seems to be a maybe but the 22 and 27 have all the characteristics of how he drew the female form at that time, in particular the hips. Nellie's face is very characteristic of his style as well. Millie the Model #18 has a Nellie story credited to Dan so it seems that he was handling some Nellie artwork as well although I've never seen it mentioned that he worked on Nellie.

I don't think 26 is DeCarlo. The hands are the giveaway. Still a great cover, though.

Good point. It has similarities but something wasn't quite right. Hy Rosen's work could look a lot like DeCarlo but I don't know when he started working for Timely. It's a shame no one documented the artists on the humor books when more of them were alive to confirm the information.

First book of the new year came on Saturday. Nothing earth shaking but a pretty nice copy. This is another one of those great 4 book GGA series. This one does not disapoint with headlights, cross dressing and cool Dave Berg (from MAD magazine) GGA. Down to one issue on it.

I'm not sure the CCA would have approved of what Candy and Ted are doing in the logo. hm

I know! I've always wondered if someone at Quality worked out the entire alphabet. Some of the letters would be interesting.
