selegue Posted December 12, 2007 Share Posted December 12, 2007 Strange Worlds # 6. I noticed that Kinstler used a lot of swipes in those pages. Must have been a busy month and he didn't want to think too much ... - He swiped often, didn't he? I think I remember a scavenger hunt or two for his sources here on the boards. Did you ID the sources for this page? First panel is a Planet Comics cover? Jack Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Did you ID the sources for this page? First panel is a Planet Comics cover? First panel is Planet cover or more likely Astounding (?) pulp cover IIRC. There was another page that was more or less straight from a Raymond Flash Gordon Sunday and in the inside front cover story summary, there was a clear Foster panel swipe.

BangZoom Posted December 12, 2007 Author Share Posted December 12, 2007 Nice group of comics you have there, Scrooge. I like the fact that you posted an interior page of each. I wish more people did that. My favorites were Willie the Penguin, Strange Worlds, Whiz, Witches Tales, Fantastic, Worlds of Fear, HoM, and Crusader from Mars. Is the artist credited who painted the cover to Crusader from Mars? It looks like the work of Allen Anderson. Can you show us a sample of the interior?

adamstrange Posted December 12, 2007 Share Posted December 12, 2007 (edited) Nice group of comics you have there, Scrooge. I like the fact that you posted an interior page of each.

Is the artist credited who painted the cover to Crusader from Mars? It looks like the work of Allen Anderson. Can you show us a sample of the interior? Thanks for the scans, Scrooge! My thought on the Crusader for Mars is that it's by Saunders. It's a bit tricky because Allan and Saunders shared the same studio, used the same models, worked for Ziff-Davis and Anderson imitated Saunders' style.

Jayman Posted December 13, 2007 Share Posted December 13, 2007 That rocket man story reminds me of the Star Trek episode where they steal Spock's brain to power the underground city.

Scrooge Posted December 13, 2007 Share Posted December 13, 2007 Put on your oddball caps for this next one. From Funland Comics # 1 (1946) comes this quirky one with a special appearance from another Batman knock-offs. I present to you: "Yippee!! I'm Squeaky!" "And I'm Woody!" Any dialogue with a character named Woody is fraught with unintended laughter ... - Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
