AJD Posted May 13, 2010 Share Posted May 13, 2010 Just bought my first few Wings. This is the splash from #105 (and, yeah, I wish it had better PQ too): Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Weird Paper Posted May 13, 2010 Share Posted May 13, 2010 Just bought my first few Wings. This is the splash from #105 (and, yeah, I wish it had better PQ too): It's splash pages like this that make me nostalgic for an era of comics that happened well before I was born.

Bruce1971 Posted May 13, 2010 Share Posted May 13, 2010 [ nice ! where's this from? I think its from Air Boy/Air Fighters. I have seen that splash before, just not sure of the issue number. Bruce Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BB-Gun Posted May 13, 2010 Share Posted May 13, 2010 [ nice ! where's this from? I think its from Air Boy/Air Fighters. I have seen that splash before, just not sure of the issue number. Bruce I think it is from Air Fighters V1 #10 since it is the only early issue in my collection. Looks like one of my scans too. Roy printed it in Alter Ego.

BB-Gun Posted May 13, 2010 Share Posted May 13, 2010 Black Angel stories are usually attributed to Cassone but Palais did some of them. That particular Air Fighters story reminds me of Paul Gattuso who did the Black Dwarf. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scrooge Posted May 13, 2010 Share Posted May 13, 2010 Just bought my first few Wings. This is the splash from #105 (and, yeah, I wish it had better PQ too): Looks like that issue has a great slate of artists: Lubbers, Evans, Whitman, Hollingsworth, Doolin, ...

BangZoom Posted May 13, 2010 Author Share Posted May 13, 2010 I don't know if you read Ken Quattro's blog but you would enjoy his recent piece on board favorite E.C. Stoner. Haven't read it yet myself but figured I'd pass the info along. E.C. Stoner, The Forgotten Trailblazer Great piece about Stoner. I especially got a kick out of the Gordon's Gin ad from Ebony Magazine that pictured Stoner and his wife at home. Link Here are a few of Stoner's illustrations to jog everyone's memories about his work. Witches Tales #1 (November 1936) The Funnies # 45 (July 1940) The Funnies # 46 (August 1940) The Funnies #47 (September 1940) The Funnies #48 (October 1940) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BangZoom Posted May 13, 2010 Author Share Posted May 13, 2010 I saw this splash from Detective 79 on ebay and it reminded me of the Phantom Lady 16 splash. One of my favorite "behind the curtain" images is Charles Peales' self-portrait from 1802. "The Artist in His Museum" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BB-Gun Posted May 14, 2010 Share Posted May 14, 2010 Beautiful page, BB. Who drew that? I mentioned this earlier but since you ask. I think, Black Angel stories are usually attributed to Cassone but Palais did some of them. That particular Air Fighters (V1 #10) story reminds me of Paul Gattuso who did the Black Dwarf. Hillman had some great heroes. It got dull later when the stories became more realistic. I think Cassone also did Twilight and Snoopy. The style looks different but I could have the wrong Clue page.

It should have looked like this. I first thought this was some form of discrimination against Stoner but judging from the number of covers he did after these Phantasmo covers, I doubt if anyone noticed.

Perhaps Palais did the inks as he did those on Doll Man. No record of Gattuso working at Hillman. Scan from the Who's Who. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Duffman_Comics Posted May 14, 2010 Share Posted May 14, 2010 Just bought my first few Wings. This is the splash from #105 (and, yeah, I wish it had better PQ too): I think I use to like you Andrew. Now I'm not so sure. Great book, regardless of PQ. Just a representative sample or looking for a run?
