mtlevy1 Posted July 3, 2021 Share Posted July 3, 2021 Hello All, I was scanning some new acquisitions - will post some to CAF soon - when I thought, heck, I should scan this page I picked up off ebay maybe 20 years ago and see if anyone recognizes the artist. So please take a gander and reply in line - certainly, may not be a future professional at all... Mark Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Latverian Tourism Board Posted July 3, 2021 Share Posted July 3, 2021 (edited) Neil Vokes? The art reminds me a bit of Eagle, a comic he worked on in the 80s with Rich Rankin, and Neil did work on Dr Strange, according to The Internet. Looking at his older work, I think it could be a possibility. I found this image on eBay of an older work of his. Good luck with the search!

PhilipB2k17 Posted July 4, 2021 Share Posted July 4, 2021 (edited) I’d say that sure looks a lot like Timothy Truman. When was that art created? Edited July 4, 2021 by PhilipB2k17 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Readcomix Posted July 8, 2021 Share Posted July 8, 2021 Are you sure it’s a tryout, and not a published piece? It’s very familiar; especially that fourth panel where the white temples look like horns at a quick glance. Don’t get me wrong, I like the page very much. But that one quirk jumped out at me immediately with the “Waitaminit I’ve seen this before” reaction. This one will haunt me ‘til we (the boards) solve it.

Bird Posted July 8, 2021 Share Posted July 8, 2021 some of it reminds me of Tom Sutton, not that I think it is him but someone trying to do his Doc. This looks like someone with talent who is aping Doc artists' style throughout the page. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Based on the Truman work I've seen going all the way back to his earliest stuff with TSR and DC comics, that doesn't look anything like Tim Truman art.

It's less polished but does have some Trumanesque features to it. I thought it might be an early Tryout page, or something. But, I'll bow to people who are more familiar with his art Edited July 8, 2021 by PhilipB2k17 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mtlevy1 Posted July 9, 2021 Author Share Posted July 9, 2021 Appreciate the thoughts - still looking for some further input I imagine if it were published someone would have been able to ID already... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
