Scrooge Posted April 4, 2008 Share Posted April 4, 2008 The latest Alter-Ego features Joe Simon and his buddy Jack. Go buy one. I enjoyed the article. So did I! I was leery at first since I've read Joe's book twice but the conversation held my interest throughout. Now I'm ready to move on to article about The Secret History of All-American Comics, Inc. (thumbs u In the AE issue, there's also an ad for the Spotlight Exhibit on Flessel at the Cartoon Art Museum in San Francisco, CA. I'm surprised no one has mentioned it. As per the website, the Spotlight Exhibit "include over 30 examples from Flessel's long creative career, including original comic book artwork from the 1930s, newspaper advertisements from the 1950s, comic strips from the 1960s, Playboy cartoons from the 1980s and recent commissioned artwork from the 1990s onward."

BB-Gun Posted April 4, 2008 Share Posted April 4, 2008 Scrooge, I went to the Cartoon Art Museum in San Francisco a few years ago. It wasn't far from the Modern Art Museum if I remember correctly. They had some nice art by Crumb and some Sunday pages. I will have to find a way to go back for the Flessel exhibit. I enjoyed the comic art at the Jewish Museum in NYC last year. The Fine original art was terrific but the Schomburg recreations were not as good as a lot of his other stuff. The Crumb notebooks were especially nice items to see in the NYC exhibit. While looking for some Schomburg covers to post I noticed that the original ad for the Young Allies had a different cover from the actual Young Allies #1. It looks like they had to change to eliminate Stalin from the group of bad guys. It is probably a lost Schomburg cover that may some day pop up as a recreation or on ebay. It is also politically incorrect in other ways but not as bad as some other comics. The inside story is an Angel cross over in Sub-Mariner, Blitzkrieg of the Living Dead. Unfortunately all I have is a fiche scan. bb Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Norrin_Radd Posted April 4, 2008 Share Posted April 4, 2008 It was the back cover to Human Torch #5 (#4) . It was modified because Russia had joined the Allies by the time Young Allies #1 came out. You can hear more about it here. While looking for some Schomburg covers to post I noticed that the original ad for the Young Allies had a different cover from the actual Young Allies #1.

BB-Gun Posted April 5, 2008 Share Posted April 5, 2008 BZ, There seems to be some great stories in Young Allies..Master of Evil looks pretty good. If you are going to be evil, why not be a master. And my favorite....Giant Robots. Subby had underwater Robots but normal size. bb Not my scans. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm a big fan of Al Walker's art and always love seeing more examples of his great work. Zip Motor's Zoomobile? I better get on the waiting list. I want one of those.

Scrooge Posted April 5, 2008 Share Posted April 5, 2008 Also, in the General Forum there was a discussion about Batman and killing. Last week, I was quite surprised how deliberately Timely heroes would kill their enemies. Take the 2 following scans from USA Comics # 2. In the first, Rockman while not actively killing the villain, the dialogue does suggest that Rockman might have prevented the baddy's death had he wished to help. More blatantly, Captain Terror does drown the villain in that story and then proceeds to blow up and sink the ship with the Black Claw's acolytes. Not quite how these issues were handled later on in comics - Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BB-Gun Posted April 5, 2008 Share Posted April 5, 2008 Subby had underwater Robots but normal size. bb Not my scans. The Subby adventure is from Young Men 24. It is also available in Marvel Masterworks 73 but I believe the scan is from the original comic. bb Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am impatiently waiting for Marvel to do a Masterwork of Young Allies 1-4 so I can read the Red Skull stories. The Master of Evil story was from Young Allies 12. This scan is from the book that I bought at the flea market from Wally. I have only seen fiche copies of Young Allies 1 but the story features the Red Skull and looks pretty good. I like the cover of YA4 too. Rush out and get a copy. According to the Timely thread, you can get YA at a discount compared to other Timely comics. bb Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
