adamstrange Posted October 15, 2010 Share Posted October 15, 2010 Oh great and wise BZ, why is it that Roy Crane's name is rarely uttered in the same breath as Foster, Cannif and Raymond when people talk about great adventure strips when in reality he more than deserves to be part of that quartet? Is it once again a case of realistic vs. cartoonish art? Welcome back I mention him in the same breath. Comic magazine art derives primarily from 4 major artistic influences, Foster, Raymond, Sickles/Caniff and Crane. Crane's work, especially his ability to create the perception of depth in his backgrounds, was every bit as impressive and influential. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BOOT Posted October 15, 2010 Share Posted October 15, 2010 Yup! From his Lord Jim adaptation for Classics Illustrated. A no-prize for the good gentleman :thumbsup: I'll be waiting by the mailbox! I picked up an interesting comic recently that I think has unlisted Evans art. I'll post it somewhere soon and if you'd be so kind, I'd love to get your opinion..

Flex Mentallo Posted October 16, 2010 Share Posted October 16, 2010 John Romita? I didn't realize that Romita had ever worked for Gold Key. I dont think he ever did. According to Wikipedia his influences included Noel Sickles,Roy Crane, and Milton Caniff. And I thought the face in Scrooge's mystery panel resembled J. Jonah Jameson!

Despite Scooge saying it was a Classics Illustrated, I was picturing this comic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BangZoom Posted October 16, 2010 Author Share Posted October 16, 2010 What a great gift to hear from BZ again. Thanks, Gary.

BangZoom Posted October 16, 2010 Author Share Posted October 16, 2010 Who found you? I have to know where to send the reward. It's mostly penny rolls but they add up. Send the reward to the Creeper's son...the Crawler. (thumbs u Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
detective35 Posted October 17, 2010 Share Posted October 17, 2010 Hi BZ, I had never seen the "Artists and Models" pulp until a couple of weeks ago when I was checking completed items under pulps on ebay and saw that one had sold......very, very rare! BZ, check your PM's. Dwight Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Point Five Posted October 17, 2010 Share Posted October 17, 2010 They are beautiful. How long did the Artists and Models title run for? Doesn't exactly seem like a topic with infinite storyline potential. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GACollectibles Posted October 20, 2010 Share Posted October 20, 2010 Bangzoom, do you have any Mucha posters or original art? A buddy of mine picked up the last ten years of auction catalogs(high quality hardbound books) of www.posterauctions.com, some fantastic graphics being offered from all genres! I didn't even know of the place or I would have visited while at NYCC last week, it was only a few blocks away from the convention center! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
