BB-Gun Posted May 6, 2008 Share Posted May 6, 2008 ...These just arrived today from House of Comics: ... I wonder whether Adler was involved in all these experiments. OK, I'm just mumbling to myself in the corner, but here's another cover with the same technique from Oct 1953 by Murphy Anderson. Phantom Stranger 4 is Feb-Mar 1953 by Carmine Infantino. Maybe the technique was more common than I think but I'm just noticing it here. Jack Jack, I notice that the original art for Mars has a note that the engraver suplied the blue ink job. Mars was supposed to be invisible in the story and usually apeared as that ghostly image. I have noticed that Powell used that technique a lot. I think he probably asked for blue or green for some or his horror/ghost stories. bb Thanks! GCD: Planet Comics #24 1940 Series - Fiction House, May 1943 ["Mars, the outlaw god, forever schemes to plunge..."] (Sequence 1 - Story , 10 pages ) Feature Story: Mars, God of War Credits: ? [as Ross Gallun] (-script), Joe Doolin (Pencils), Joe Doolin (Inks), ? (Colors), ? (Letters). A full decade before the covers I was asking about. Did you mean Doolin, is the GCD credit wrong, or were you just comparing to Powell's work? Does anyone have a scan of the published page? Do you own the original page or just scavenged it from Heritage? Jack Do I ask too many questions? Jack, I think Doolin was responsible for the Mars art but I was also thinking of examples where Powell had used the same technique. I have a True Sports issue where Powell used the technique and it was probably also used for the Shadow. Examples of Doolin (I think) and Powell work below. The original art was scavenged from Heritage by someone and posted on Goldenagecomics.UK. bb Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheEyeSees Posted May 7, 2008 Share Posted May 7, 2008 I would like to thank Rick (Gator) for these top tier GA books that have been on my want list for a long time... FUNNY PAGES 35 (6.0 with WHITE pages!), and SILVER STREAK's #1 and 7. (the Doc Death pulp was thrown in to round out the photo). It was absolutely generous of Rick to part with these books, and rest assured, they have found a good home!! In fact, I think I'm going to gaze upon them right now... Thanks again Gator!! Two RARE #1's... I am obsessed with these two books (villain covers)... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BangZoom Posted May 7, 2008 Share Posted May 7, 2008 My 5 year old daughter is quite the artist. Can I interest someone in trading me old comics for one of her pictures? I thought little girls were supposed to be drawing butterflys and unicorns. Maybe I should stop reading EC Comics to her at bedtime. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
