Duffman_Comics Posted May 7, 2009 Share Posted May 7, 2009 (edited) Now that's gangsta!! I like the top right (Amazing Stories) comic on the picture you posted above the best. I know attachments don't work in the quote function, but the scan of that Amazing Stories made me laugh. The futuristic rocket ship is being constructed with all sorts of high tech equipment - cranes and what not - but also involved is an "old school" steam train. The artists and writers really were feeling their way around this new-fangled scientifiction business. Edit: What the hell, I'll add the pic Edited May 7, 2009 by Duffman_Comics Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Senormac Posted May 7, 2009 Share Posted May 7, 2009 Anyone ever see that old Danny Kaye movie called "The Secret Life of Walter Mitty"....? The place he works (in the movie) is very cool.....its a Pulp publishing business.....and a couple times he walks through the art dept. and you can see some of the artists working on their cover paintings.

selegue Posted May 7, 2009 Share Posted May 7, 2009 Such a bizarre cover. The pants suit cracks me up every time -- staggeringly ugly design. Apparently Sekowsky didn't think much of it either, drawing Supergirl's head on top of a pregnant grandmother's body. Jack Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The 117 is real pretty ... ... I love it when a 50- to 60-year-old kiddies' comic book that you probably got for a couple of bucks gives me the biggest chuckle I'll have all day. Fun covers! How are the Mary Jane and Sniffles stories? Usually my favorite if they're "old school" Mary Jane with the italic lettering. I really need to remember which artist used which style.

I really need to remember which artist used which style. Jack They are ok. The writing is not as good as Disney stuff....but I am still enjoying them. Issue 85 is now my oldest one (1948) so not sure if the art was diff in the early years. I have 6 of these books now and the stories in each are the same . Bugs, Mary Jane and Sniffles, Porky, Henry Hawk and Elmer Fudd last. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bugs, Mary Jane and Sniffles, Porky, Henry Hawk and Elmer Fudd last. Toonopedia says: "Editor Chase Craig (Magnus, Robot Fighter) created and wrote the "Mary Jane & Sniffles" series, naming its human protagonist after his wife. (There is some speculation that he based the character on the little girl in Beauty & the Beast, a 1934 Merrie Melody directed by Friz Freleng, but the connection, consisting mostly of hair color and the fact that "Beauty" used a similar method to shrink into the toy world, seems uncertain.) Through most of the 1940s, the series was drawn by Roger Armstrong, whose other credits include stints on the Ella Cinders, Napoleon and Scamp newspaper strips. In the '50s, Al Hubbard, whose credits, by an odd coincidence, also include Scamp (as well as comic book stories about Chip'n'Dale, Jiminy Cricket and practically every other Disney character), took it over." Attached are typical of the MJ&S pages that I like. Is that Armstrong's style? Notice the italic lettering. Later, MJ looks slicker, more like Disney's Alice in Wonderland, with standard block lettering. Are those Hubbard? LTMM 125 LTMM 129 LTMM 5 -- a very early version, before Mary Jane took top billing. (Maybe this is the only Armstrong page?) Jack Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
