BB-Gun Posted January 6, 2009 Share Posted January 6, 2009 Jack, Yesterday I noticed good science lab stories in Science and Headline 16. The first story is by Palais and I loved the way he drew the physics lab. The second story was about a microbiology lab. The last story is about work in a chemistry lab. I think he needs to call OSHA. bb Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

selegue Posted January 6, 2009 Share Posted January 6, 2009 WOW, good stuff. The first two are from Science Comics? Which series and issue? The third must be [The Coming of Atomic Man] from Headline Comics 16. Presumably long after Flash Comics 1 -- sure looks familiar.

BB-Gun Posted January 6, 2009 Share Posted January 6, 2009 Ad for Jumbo Comics #1 from Bulls-Eye Detective. Nifty ad BZ. It doesn't mention that Jumbos made good coloring books which I think a lot of children did. bb Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BB-Gun Posted January 6, 2009 Share Posted January 6, 2009 Jack, That first scan was from Science 1 which has the atomic bomb story. I always thought it was from Nedor but Overstreet says Ace (officially it is Humor). Things got worse for our chemist (with no eye protection or lab coat) in the Headline story after he drank the Deuterium Oxide laced with U235. That was a nasty looking unprotected power supply behind him. The White Magic story was also from Science 1 and the Atomic Man origin was from Headline 16.

Do you know who drew it? (Did you mention Palais in a previous post, or was that for one of the others?) Now I'm curious what kind of powers Atomic Man got from all that abuse.

Thanks, Jack I think the Atomic Man strip is by Charles Voight who did Jeep and Peep and also Boom Boom for Prize. It isn't listed in the GCD but it is in the Who's Who. The art matches up too. I think BZ used Jeep for a contest last year and we saw some of his work on this thread. bb Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BB-Gun Posted January 7, 2009 Share Posted January 7, 2009 Here are more examples of art by Charles Voight. Boom Boom from Prize 59 and Jeep and Peep from Jeep 1. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BangZoom Posted January 7, 2009 Author Share Posted January 7, 2009 Voight also drew the Betty comic strip from 1920-1943. More examples of this and other obscure comic strips can be found at barnaclepress.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BB-Gun Posted January 7, 2009 Share Posted January 7, 2009 (edited) I remembered Voight's style when I saw the Atomic Man story but I couldn't think of the name. I didn't check his biography but I suspect he stopped drawing comics before the end of the golden age (oops he died in 1947). His early work on Betty is impressive and he dates way back to the platinum age (are there any platinum age books?). Nice find BZ. bb PS I was amazed with the origin story and thought it looked pretty whimsical. Jack was right about the similarity with the Flash but there was no super speed associated with this hero. There were three nice covers attributed to Kiefer. There was a character at Quality I think that had a touch that caused havoc. Was that part of the Human Bomb MO or his side-kick?

selegue Posted January 7, 2009 Share Posted January 7, 2009 You jogged my memory. I just read about Voigt's Petey and Betty strips in an interesting book Comic Art in America by Becker (1959). Lots of interesting strips I've never seen before that are largely forgotten. I like Voigt's style. Jack Voight also drew the Betty comic strip from 1920-1943.

I used panels from it for a Pop Quiz last year. that is great! I have wanted to get the Jeep run for some time. I had a Drop dead 9.6 Jeep #2 about 10 yars ago, and let it loose in trade for a spidey #1. I regretted it almost instantly. There was a story in there about midgets that was WAY more fun than ASM #1. Anyway, since then I decided it was just oddball enough a run to tackle.That story from #1 proves my suspicions.
