ashrael Posted May 23, 2008 Share Posted May 23, 2008 That was a tough one. First I was thinking Wings Comics, then Planet Comics, then I tried early Tecs. Nice job Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BangZoom Posted May 24, 2008 Author Share Posted May 24, 2008 Great looking cover. Does anyone know of any recurring octopus characters in a GA series? Preferably one who talks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BangZoom Posted May 24, 2008 Author Share Posted May 24, 2008 Scrooge mentioned The Lone Eagle in another thread which prompted me to start looking at pulps downstairs. One thing led to another and I ended up looking at All Detective Magazines. The first appearance of Doctor Death (July 1934). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scrooge Posted May 24, 2008 Share Posted May 24, 2008 Probably the best thread for this. My trusty Half-Price book had this 1973 collection of Bringing Up Father, one of those strips in another thread we've mentioned is probably on the verge of being forgotten. Yet, for how deceptively simple the art appears to be, there are layers of complexity to it, if only for the attention to details in the backgrounds. I post a strip from 1939 when the cast goes on a car tour out west (à la Walt in Gasoline Alley so many year before) - Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So you're the one that cared (thumbs u I've experienced the collective yawn of the audience with many of my postings of esoteric material. On the bright side, many items that I think are super cool sell for relatively little money on eBay since many other collectors have no interest in them.

Yet, for how deceptively simple the art appears to be, there are layers of complexity to it, if only for the attention to details in the backgrounds. I agree. As Maurice Horn noted in his entry for this strip in The World Encyclopedia of Comics: "The luxurious setting of the action, an astounding mixture of rococo architecture, Art Nouveau furnishings and weird shaped curios form the backdrop for this battle of the sexes."
