(thumbs u The Zolnerowich recreation is fantastic. He and Joe Doolin are a couple of my favorite Planet cover artists. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paratrooper Posted September 21, 2007 Share Posted September 21, 2007 Is Zolnerowich still doing comissions? I wouldn't mind getting one from him, Fight Comics #19 cover would be perfect. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BangZoom Posted September 21, 2007 Author Share Posted September 21, 2007 Jon is that a pedigree copy? The Arrow comic is mine. It's not a pedigree, but it does have an interesting history. It's one of hundreds of Golden Age comic books I bought in the early 70's from an individual who had found them in the trash put out by a neighbor. On the back cover of many of the comics is the rubber stamped identification of the store where they were originally sold. Campbell Bros 8th & C Sts. NE Cigars & Tobacco Stationery & Newspapers This is a 1988 photograph of the building where the Campbell Bros store was located. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Theagenes Posted September 22, 2007 Share Posted September 22, 2007 (edited) Encore! What to do for an encore ... How about another pre-1941 single panel splash from Samson # 1, dated Fall 1940? This is followed by a Samson story from # 1 also. It's one of those pre-war angst story that Theagenes will like (if he ever finishes his job anytime soon. We miss you!). Some of the pages are repetitive. I mean ... we get the point that Samson is super strong the first time around but still it maintains its charm throughout the story and I did find the "streamlined" backgrounds served the story (instead of being a sin of omission for the sake of speed in execution. This is a Fox book after all). Tom, if you're reading this, maybe the OSPG should list Samson # 1 as "Big Screen TV's first appearance." I'm back! And you're right -- I love this story! Mythological character, Yellow Peril, a "pre-US entry" war story - great stuff! Especially telling are the scenes depicting aerial bombardment of civilians -- this was a relatively new tactic that had not really been used much prior to this point (except for a few instances in ww1 and the Spanish Civil War), but it was something that that was greatly feared by everyone going into this war. Many military experts (on both sides) believed that the bombing of major urban centers would be the deciding factor in this new war. As this story was being written, probably in summer of 1940, the Battle of Britain was just beginning and the large scale bombing of civilian targets was just getting underway. The next five years of total war would see this tactic used on a scale that I doubt even a comic book writer could have imagined in 1940. It's always amazing to read these stories thinking about their context and to try and imagine what was in the mind of the writer and artist, as well as the readers. Great stuff, Scrooge! Thanks again for sharing these wonderful stories! Jeff Edited September 22, 2007 by Theagenes Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
