sarvajnatman Posted June 29, 2017 Share Posted June 29, 2017 Previously unknown WECA comic up on Clink for the July auction. Been looking for this one since the early 70s when some original art of the "A-Man" story from it was reprinted in Dave Sim and John Balge's CANAR fanzine. Plan to do a short write-up on in for my Comic Book Daily column for next Wednesday. This should go for a bundle. This is one WECA comic that Stephen definitely doesn't have. We'll see what sort of a fight there is for it. Also I'll be giving a talk on the Bell Features artists that are the topic of my forthcoming book at Montreal Comic Con on July 8th and my guest will be original WECA artist Jack Tremblay who created Crash Carson for Wow Comics. He turned 91 in May. Hope people will attend if they go to the con. porcupine48 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sarvajnatman Posted June 30, 2017 Share Posted June 30, 2017 Well I'm wrong again, Stephen. I had just never heard of anyone with a copy of this book before. You never mentioned it before. I'd certainly like to photograph the contents when it's convenient. Can you share any splash pages? Ivan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sarvajnatman Posted July 5, 2017 Share Posted July 5, 2017 For anybody going to the Montreal Comic Con this weekend, I'll be presenting a panel on the Bell Features artists of WW II with special guest Jack Tremblay who will be doing a signing for an hour after the presentation. My presentation is at 4pm on Saturday in Rm. 514. It would be great to meet any of you who are going. Here's a graphic of the cover of Jack Tremblay's Esthetic comics which was printed only in a run of 100 issues in 2014. That's a gap of over 70 years since his Bell Comic work to the release of this comic. Must be one of the greatest lacunae between comic production ever. thehumantorch and porcupine48 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ecgt Posted July 15, 2017 Share Posted July 15, 2017 (edited) I came came across this today at an antiques show, but did not purchase it. It's not a comic, but the cover art looks familiar to me. The interior is a text-based rule book and the only art appears to be on the cover. Does anyone recognize the artist as being a WECA contributor? The artist's signature is part of the cover art, but I don't recognize it. Edited July 15, 2017 by ecgt Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
