Theagenes Posted April 16, 2013 Share Posted April 16, 2013 I was lucky enough to acquire several books that have personally drawn cartoons by Partch inside the front cover. Wow, those are great! I had never heard of him until now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BangZoom Posted April 17, 2013 Author Share Posted April 17, 2013 Big George by VIP was a regular in the Sunday pages from the sixties. I wrote Partch a fan letter back in 1966 and he sent me the original artwork for a Sunday strip as a thank you. Those were fun days. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BR-migration Posted April 29, 2013 Share Posted April 29, 2013 Wow! Thanks BZ! I have to say, that to actually be posted in the legendary "Golden Age Collection" thread is truly an honor. I've read every post -- and could not have understood half of what I might about comics if it weren't for the Gold Board. Many of you were of immense help to me -- I think of this place as pulps/comics grad school. I'm a comics guy my whole life -- but still learned a TON here. I thanked the Board by name in the book. I'll be posting some art/artifacts up on the book's website at: www.super-boys.com Today I have something on there where you can sign the actual Superman check! But I will come back and post some stuff here, too, if you don't mind. Here's something just for the board, who I know likes artifacts. Here is the cover of the Glenville HIgh School yearbook in 1929: Thanks again, Brad Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BangZoom Posted April 30, 2013 Author Share Posted April 30, 2013 Thanks, Brad. I hadn't seen that strongman drawing before. Here is an early version of the Superman image which was used to advertise Action Comics. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

igordesign23 Posted April 30, 2013 Share Posted April 30, 2013 Hi everyone. Does anyone know where I can start to read about Doctor Occult from Golden Age? Any specific collected volumes? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tb Posted April 30, 2013 Share Posted April 30, 2013 Here's an interesting little article that ran in Jerry Siegel's high school newspaper in the fall of 1933. Very cool - thanks for sharing this. It would be fun if someone might have the ad that appeared in Amazing Stories. You'd think it would have mentioned Superman(?). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BR-migration Posted April 30, 2013 Share Posted April 30, 2013 I found several ads for S-F -- but not that Amazing Stories one -- and I looked. BZ? Unfortunately, Dr. Occult is not collected anywhere -- but I reproduce some panels of it in the book. DC is producing a big "Siegel/Shuster Omnibus" edition of Action reprints to coincide with the new movie, but I believe it is all Superman. It's too bad -- their early stuff is really phenomenal work. BZ -- that Superman ad is like pristine..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
