BB-Gun Posted May 28, 2009 Share Posted May 28, 2009 I admire a lot of art that is found in the early Fawcett comics. This Rocket Car from Master Comics reminds me of early Timely work. Is there a more similar cover than this? The Wizard also had a cool car. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ogami Posted May 28, 2009 Share Posted May 28, 2009 I read probably the first half of this thread with great attention to detail when it first appeared, not so much since. Did Bangzoom ever post the biggest dawgs? Action1, Detective 27, Marvel Mystery 1? I believe there was a group shot with a tec 27 in it, but no action 1 or marvel 1 that I recall thanks, Rick!

Nice reference, BB. BZ is a big cirus fan. I guessed that he is working as the ring master for the Zumbini Circus or some related job. bb I liked these collectible Toby items too.

BB-Gun Posted June 6, 2009 Share Posted June 6, 2009 I think BangZoom is on extended leave Maybe if we close our eyes and clap our hands as loud as we can, BZ will come back. Or we can post nifty giant robot covers until BZ comes back out of the archives with another pile of musty old (BZ usually finds pristine) paper collectors items. I cleaned this scan up a bit.

BB-Gun Posted June 6, 2009 Share Posted June 6, 2009 (edited) I guess I have liked robots since I first saw Robby. Or maybe it was Anne Francis that I liked? Edited June 6, 2009 by BB-Gun Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or we can post nifty giant robot covers until BZ comes back out of the archives with another pile of musty old (BZ usually finds pristine) paper collectors items. I cleaned this scan up a bit. It was from GA.UK I usually figure things out after I have seen them three or four times. There is probably a lot of information about Richard Sprangs early work but I didn't remember that he did Power Nelson. I thought the robot cover might be by Richard Briefer since he also did work published in Prize. However, Richard Sprang seems a likely artist since he was responsible for the early Power Nelson stories. Nifty stuff. Both of them are favorites. And we need to see more. bb Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BB-Gun Posted June 7, 2009 Share Posted June 7, 2009 I've been watching "Nosferatu" and "Vampyr" over the last few weeks. Given how many times big apes and robots seem to have appeared in comics in the 1930s, I am kind of curious about what the first appearance of a vampire or first mentioning of Dracula in a comic book might have been?.. I tried a search on the forum but couldn't find an answer. New Fun #6 The Unofficial Guide to the DC Universe website offers the following info: New Fun Comics #6 (October 1935): [The Vampire Master: Part 1] More Fun Comics #7 (January 1936): [The Vampire Master: Part 2] More Fun Comics #8 (February 1936): [The Vampire Master: Part 3] More Fun Comics #9 (March-April 1936): [The Vampire Master: Part 4] I'm guessing that the above stories were probably among the earliest comic books published with a vampire storyline. Read all about Doctor Occult: Link According to JGB's Whose who, Shuster's influences were Roy Crane; Alex Raymond; Milt Caniff. I guess his style looks more like Crane which Scrooge pointed out, but these other guys influenced perspectives, backgrounds and story telling. Or maybe Shuster just enjoyed reading work by Raymond and Caniff or looking at the pictures. I know I do. bb Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BB-Gun Posted June 7, 2009 Share Posted June 7, 2009 (edited) I noticed this GIF somewhere. I guess they are doing a remake of Star Wars. Help, Help, Help me, Obi-Wan Kenobi; you're my only hope (Just noticed that Hammer was posted by Comix4fun.) Sorry about the lift but it seemed robot related at the time.
