Electricmastro Posted September 27, 2020 Share Posted September 27, 2020 Just noticed a “Pat” on the bottom-right section of this cover, which I’m sure signifies it was drawn by Roland Patenaude, right?

Popular Post zetabeam Posted September 27, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted September 27, 2020 I purchased this in 1992 from Joe Tricarchi, the founder of the Larson Collection It has some lower spine splitting but has great colors and is an exceptionally tough book in grade.

RareHighGrade Posted September 27, 2020 Share Posted September 27, 2020 You may be right. I remember there being a discussion on these Boards about whether Patenaude was a man (Roland) or woman (Ramona). Electricmastro 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CGC lists both Ramona and Roland respectively on their labels at time but lists Ramona more often than Roland from what I have seen. Sometimes Pat is signed and CGC doesn't list anything at all. There is also information on the net about Ramona as well as Roland. Strange stuff I have seen the argument for both. Regardless of either most, "Pat" signed books are usually pretty tough books and usually pretty darn cool at least as far as I am concerned Joshua33 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Regardless of either most, "Pat" signed books are usually pretty tough books and usually pretty darn cool at least as far as I am concerned I suppose it partially had to do with Jerry Bails’ Who’s Who listing Ramona as the artist’s real name. 1985’s Women and the Comics by Trina Robbins apparently reinforced the Ramona name as well. I think it’s also the same book in which Munson Paddock was mistaken as a woman under the name “Cecelia.” gino2paulus2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

These Fox covers which don’t seem to have signatures are ones I think Roland Patenaude drew as well. I made this known to GCD, and there was agreement that the guess was educated enough. His recurring stylistic approach seems to be protagonists with small and smoothly rounded heads, distinctly shaded hair, dotted pupils with no irises, wide smiles showing teeth, pronounced chests with a few bumps drawn to convey the ribs, and capes hanging in the air. Antagonists are also drawn with bigger noses and sharper teeth, as well as there being spiky star-esque circles drawn to convey them getting punched.

I just so happen to own all 5 of those wonderful books!!:) A Roland Patenaude enthusiast no doubt!! Nailed it with that description for sure!! The 2nd and last issue of V-Comics is very pronounced in the common themes of his work and is also a signed Pat book in the bottom right just not listed with CGC as his work Edited October 1, 2020 by gino2paulus2 badback83, Snaves, Electricmastro and 5 others 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
