PokerKid Posted March 5, 2009 Share Posted March 5, 2009 I was looking through an old comic and discovered this neat ad for Flash Comics #1. With artwork like that on the Flash, how could kids not get excited? Did they make it such a childish drawing because they had not yet finalized how the character would look or did they just not care? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scrooge Posted March 5, 2009 Share Posted March 5, 2009 I was looking through an old comic and discovered this neat ad for Flash Comics #1. For a second there I thought it was Bob Hope getting whipped Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BangZoom Posted March 5, 2009 Author Share Posted March 5, 2009 Did they make it such a childish drawing because they had not yet finalized how the character would look or did they just not care? I'm guessing Ira Schnapp was the designer of the ad. He was very talented but depending on him to illustrate The Flash and The Whip probably wasn't playing to his strength as an artist.

BB-Gun Posted March 5, 2009 Share Posted March 5, 2009 I thought the promo for Real Life 3 was interesting. An advertisement for the villian for a change. And the biggest villian of modern times too. Sorry about the poor scan. I think someone loaded a fiche of America's Best 1 but still, I haven't seen it before. bb Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BB-Gun Posted March 5, 2009 Share Posted March 5, 2009 Thanks for all the Venus scans, Scrooge. I've never owned a single issue of that title. You're missing out on a lot of good stories and many great ones in the last few issues. I like this cover (and issue 10) but my copy is a little to beat up to show. Thanks to someone else for the scan. bb Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

selegue Posted March 5, 2009 Share Posted March 5, 2009 Real Fact Comics #8 (May-June 1947) Did the life story of Jerry Siegel and Joe Shuster appear in the next issue? I don't know. I have #8 because of the Virgil Finley story (one of only two comic stories he drew) but not the #9. No Siegel and Shuster story in #9 according to GCD. Maybe DC's lawyers advised against it. Not in 10 or 11 either. But there is this letter: *No title given or indexed* (Sequence 9 - Letters , 1 page ) Feature Story: You Tell Us! Credits: Jerry Bails [as Jerry Baik]; others (-script), Synopsis: Jerry's letter asks for bios of the creators of the Justice Society of America. and this feature (the other one you were referring to? GCD says he's in 10 and 11 too) If The Moon Fell (Sequence 4 - Story , 2 pages ) Feature Story: Just Imagine Credits: Jack Schiff; Mort Weisinger; Bernie Breslauer (-script), Virgil Finlay (Pencils), Virgil Finlay (Inks), ? (Colors), ? (Letters). Jack Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Point Five Posted March 5, 2009 Share Posted March 5, 2009 No Siegel and Shuster story in #9 according to GCD. Maybe DC's lawyers advised against it. Good thinking... that is very easy to believe. Mid-1947 is just a year before S&S's ten-year contract with DC would be up, and their disputes over Superboy had probably picked up steam already.
