BB-Gun Posted April 29, 2011 Share Posted April 29, 2011 (edited) Here's a departure from the last fantastic group shots. My budding Straight Arrow run which Ciorac helped expand. Yes, coverless are welcome in that run. I like "unsung" artists like Fred Meagher. Meagher produced the entire run of Straight Arrow stories from issue # 1 to 55 (Powell did the Red Hawk stories), that's 3 stories per issue for a fairly long run and the quality never (or barely) diminished. Meagher maintained his attention to details. Other runs like this are John Severin on American Eagle in Prize Western Comics, Fred Ray on Tomahawk, of course Barks on the Ducks, Jack Cole on Plas, Crandall / Cuidera on Blackhawk where the artists stayed with the character for a solid long run. My call here is: who am I missing from that era? Anyway, I think BB will appreciate this one as he is another Straight Arrow / Steve Adams fan :thumbsup: [Note: I have two copies of the March 1952 issues but couldn't find either to put in the shot ] I remember seeing some Straight Arrow issues in the collection that Bill was selling but forgot to make an offer on them. Oh well, I think you have a few more than I. I still haven't finished the collection but I have managed to pick up a bunch of Great Western and Best of the West issues to go with bunch. The ME Frazetta covers are my favorites but Ayers made some great covers too. Meagher art was always good and Powell was pretty good on the backup strip.

Scrooge Posted April 30, 2011 Share Posted April 30, 2011 :doh: There's a reason I ask these questions. Clearly Stanley should be there. I love the phone book editions Dark Horse is putting out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
