BangZoom Posted February 7, 2010 Author Share Posted February 7, 2010 I'm a huge fan of Chas Quinlan - here's Captain Fearless #2 I've never owned a Captain Fearless. Whenever I see that cover, my first impression is that the characters in the foreground look like they were drawn by Robert Crumb. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BangZoom Posted February 13, 2010 Author Share Posted February 13, 2010 In the years prior to creating Peanuts, Charles M. Schulz held several jobs after returning home from serving in the Army during WWII. He was employed as a teacher at Art Instruction, Inc. and he did some professional work as a letterer for a publisher. He also drew several panels in a decidedly non-humorous comic book that is highly sought after by many comic collectors. Name the comic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MrBedrock Posted February 13, 2010 Share Posted February 13, 2010 I got a little lucky. I wish I still had a copy of Is This Tomorrow to check out. I had bought a beautiful copy way back at a HoustonCon in '75. I actually used it as part of an 8th grade history class presentation (got an A ). Silly me, I sold it about ten years later I had not made the connection to Schulz until your question. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do you remember any panels that reminded you of Schulz's artwork? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do you remember any panels that reminded you of Schulz's artwork? Honestly no. From memory it all seemed like straight forward comic book art. A fear mongering storyline wouldn't seem to lend itself to Peanuts style artwork. It has been quite a few years since I read it but some of the panels are etched in my pea brain.

*paull* Posted February 13, 2010 Share Posted February 13, 2010 I'd bet that it would be near impossible to pick out the panels done by Schultz. Cartoonists are often good mimics in order to blend-in with other artists' styles. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
