selegue Posted August 12, 2007 Share Posted August 12, 2007 Super Comics #82 Tough one, especially with so many experts on a road trip to Chicago! I arrived too late. I actually spotted it as Tracy, remembered his own series and Four Color appearances but not all his other reprint series, but the answer was already there so I peeked. Where's 's usual yellow overcoat? I never noticed before how much Gould (assuming he's the cover artist) drew like the European "clean line" artists. The crook on the right could have come straight out of Hergé's Tintin. Jack Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

adamstrange Posted August 12, 2007 Share Posted August 12, 2007 It's actually not that early for 1 page splashes. We have had folks post double page spreads by Walt Kelly from 1937, IIRC. Shuster was one of the first to do it as part of a story in 1938 and I know of at least one other case where both single and double page spreads were used in a 1938 story.

The Black Hand ® Posted August 12, 2007 Share Posted August 12, 2007 It's actually not that early for 1 page splashes. We have had folks post double page spreads by Walt Kelly from 1937, IIRC. Shuster was one of the first to do it as part of a story in 1938 and I know of at least one other case where both single and double page spreads were used in a 1938 story. Right, Top Notch 2 from January '40 had some nice one page splashes as I recall. Some pretty amazing stuff. I've found a lot of things that go against the prevailing wisdom of early comic lore . A lot of these things, like the 1 page splashes, are just because a lot these books, while they've been collected, haven't actually been read by some collectors. The prevailing wisdon for a long time was that Marvel Mystery # 4 was the first Nazi war cover but that was absolutely false, it was Top Notch #2 which was the first Nazi war cover with a swatzika on the cover battle scene. It took a long time for Overstreet to half heartedly correct this.... wouldn't want to devalue Marvel Mystery 4 now would they. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
