Scrooge Posted January 25, 2010 Share Posted January 25, 2010 Straight Arrow is one of my favorite characters. It is one of the few series in the GCD that I have contributed data to. Did Gardner F. Fox write the strip? He wrote a lot of the stories in the comics. I have a lot of those comics and cards but I don't remember if I have ever heard the radio show. You can listen to a sample show here - Stage To Calvaydos (thumbs u Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BangZoom Posted January 26, 2010 Author Share Posted January 26, 2010 Last year I picked up an original sketch by Hovarth who was considered one of the great artists at the studio. He was very old school European though and didn't fit in with the other artists so he didn't stick around. Too bad; as his work is phenomenal although very dark. I will try to post someday. I'd love to see the sketch. Is it from his days working in the animation field? I remembered Horvath's name from reading John Canemaker's book "Before the Animation Begins" but I couldn't recall many of the details of his life; so I searched online and found this biography. It's fascinating reading. Here are a few samples of Horvath's book illustrations from "The Raven" published in 1930. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BB-Gun Posted January 26, 2010 Share Posted January 26, 2010 (edited) I really like Guardineer's art. It seems art deco to me. His westerns and crime comics are especially strange looking. Some artists, like Fuje, did more realistic art when the genre changed but he continued the same style. But I prefer that early science fiction art that he performed with Dan Hastings.

Twistty1 Posted January 26, 2010 Share Posted January 26, 2010 Those are some amazing panels ( I like the head in the lower left corner that is without a body) and that splash is pretty cool as well. The name in the wanted poster is Biro, kind of funny. What book is that from BB? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
