Scrooge Posted December 14, 2008 Share Posted December 14, 2008 They say the artist is C. A. Winter. I'm not familiar with his work but I see from Jerry Bails Index and GCD that he did work for quite a few publishers during the Golden Age. What's "annoying" with Winter is that I usual confuse the two Winters: Charles W. Winter (C.W. Winter) and Chuck A. Winter (C.A. Winter) esp., since both did work for Hillman. Here are some Atlas Chuck pages I posted in Feb. (taken from Atlas Tales as the image show) - Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dem1138 Posted December 14, 2008 Share Posted December 14, 2008 Here are three pretty good issue 4 fanzines. Aurora 4 edited by Len Wein cover by Jack Kirby Hold on! That's really crazy because that means that Kirby drew this BEFORE Captain America appeared in Avengers #4!! Avengers #4 came out in 3/64. And Strange Tales #114 came out in 11/63. Therefore, this may very well be the first published image of Cap done by Kirby in the 60s. That's really incredible! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dem1138 Posted December 14, 2008 Share Posted December 14, 2008 Butt remember -- in ST #114 -- that's the Acrobat -- not Cap. And the costume is slightly altered in the issue to underline the distinction. That still makes this a historic cover! I wonder if the original art to this still exists?!?

BangZoom Posted December 14, 2008 Author Share Posted December 14, 2008 Streak Chandler on Mars by C.A. Winter Chuck A. Winter (C.A. Winter) I never would have guessed that the artist who drew Streak Chandler was the same artist who did those Atlas pages. Winter's style changed completely.

TheEyeSees Posted December 15, 2008 Share Posted December 15, 2008 Cool pix BZ!! What issue is that from? I notice on many of the weird menace Red Circles that I own, the text illos are obviously by Schomburg, but are not signed (likely due to their gruesome nature... he probably didn't want to be associated with the racy, gruesome content!)

BangZoom Posted December 15, 2008 Author Share Posted December 15, 2008 All three illustrations are from the April 1939, Uncanny Tales. Whatever his reasons, Schomburg didn't seem to have any reservations about signing his name boldly for that particular issue. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BB-Gun Posted December 15, 2008 Share Posted December 15, 2008 The art on this strip was pretty good. My guess is that it was by Camy. Since the GCD was down today, I can't check. It could also be by Meskin but I think that is less likely. bb GCD is back up today. They say the artist is C. A. Winter. I'm not familiar with his work but I see from the Jerry Bails Index and GCD that he did work for quite a few publishers during the Golden Age. I think the artist for that story in Top Notch 6 was listed as William Wills. He also did Kayo Kirby. The art in the other issues was supposedly by Wills but doesn't look as clean. Unfortunately I don't have a lot of other information to confirm this but the art is similar on some of the Kayo Kirby stories. Credits are a little confusing for Fiction House. bb Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
