BangZoom Posted July 8, 2008 Author Share Posted July 8, 2008 Poor Joe. He's being dissed by Jerry. (Anyone know who "the greatest stf artist yet" that Siegel is referring to in his letter?) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

adamstrange Posted July 8, 2008 Share Posted July 8, 2008 I just knew you had an Action #1. Careful with the lid on your scanner..... It's okay, that was a Millennium Edition. Sure (Anyone know who "the greatest stf artist yet" that Siegel is referring to in his letter?) In Men of Tomorrow they list a number of artists that Siegel tried to work with including Tony Strobl, Mel Graff and Russell Keaton. My bet is that he was referring to Keaton as he was the ghost artist for the syndicated Buck Rogers strip and that would most closely fit the hyperbole of greatest stf artist. (I'm not going to argue the merits of Paul over Keaton but my point is that if Siegel could work with Keaton then he's going to call him the best. ) Also, I just realized that the cover graphics MoT are all panels from Fletcher Hanks stories.

FlyingDonut Posted July 8, 2008 Share Posted July 8, 2008 BZ - do you have any of the original Arkham Lovecraft hardcovers? I'd like to see what nice ones look like, just to dream. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BB-Gun Posted July 8, 2008 Share Posted July 8, 2008 BZ, Catch Phrases? How about "One of these days Alice...____ ____ Right to the Moon"! Just thought it might be worth posting these issues here. Someone asked me about the dog's picture in one of the games. Story is from Alan Ladd 7 (some of you may remember his daughter in law a little better than Shane). And every time I see a Woody Allen movie, I think of Bob Hope. Woody claims he learned everything he knows about acting from watching Bob. I enjoy the Road Movies too. bb Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Woody claims he learned everything he knows about acting from watching Bob. Interesting fact. Woody Allen's demeanor in movies reminds me more of Bob Newhart than Hope.

selegue Posted July 8, 2008 Share Posted July 8, 2008 Ahh, it's probably just coincidence. That must be the explanation. (Note: I substituted a bigger scan for clarity's sake.) Much better -- thanks Jack Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
