BB-Gun Posted October 21, 2011 Share Posted October 21, 2011 (edited) Today was the birthday of cartoonist, Roger Armstrong (1917-2007). He worked for Dell Comics for over 20 years illustrating hundreds of stories featuring characters such as Porky Pig, Bugs Bunny, Mary Jane and Sniffles, Pluto, Scamp, Snow White and the 7 Dwarfs, etc. He was also the uncredited artist for several newspaper strips, including: Ella Cinders, Little Lulu, Napoleon and Uncle Elby, and Walt Disney's Scamp comic strip (1978-1988). I like those early Bugs and Porky stories. The Dreadful Dragon story is a little unusual isn't it. Is it written by Armstrong as well? Here is a bunch that I didn't get from Wally.

BangZoom Posted October 22, 2011 Author Share Posted October 22, 2011 I like those early Bugs and Porky stories. The Dreadful Dragon story is a little unusual isn't it. Is it written by Armstrong as well? Looking at the Bugs Bunny page above, I've noticed that I accidentally posted a page drawn by Ralph Heimdahl and not Roger Armstrong. What I intended to post was this page which is from another story in the same issue. BB, In answer to your question: I don't know if Armstrong scripted any Bugs Bunny stories for Dell. The only Four Color writing credits GCD has credited to him are stories in #227 (The Seven Dwarfs and Humpty Dumpty) and #526 (Napoleon). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pat Calhoun Posted October 22, 2011 Share Posted October 22, 2011 busy day but if I snake in with a couple of images from the web I can still fire off a birthday salute to Edmond Hamilton (1904-1977). Other writers may have attained greater literary polish or delved deeper into nuances of character, but Edmond Hamilton was Mr Sense of Wonder, spanning galaxies and eons with equal panache in a profusion of stories and novels through a career that seemed to define 'the Golden Age of SF'.

Doohickamabob Posted October 22, 2011 Share Posted October 22, 2011 Well, I finally completed a set of comics on my wantlist -- the Lev Gleason Cruelty Collection. This set of three comics show Charles Biro's art at its most mean-spirited and unintentionally laughable. The comics are Crime and Punishment #2, Crime Does Not Pay #58, and (FBI in Action) Justice #8. Here they are in all their black-hearted glory: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There's no question about it, Biro was responsible for some of the most wicked covers ever. Typical Biro...

Pat Calhoun Posted October 22, 2011 Share Posted October 22, 2011 according to the Internet SF Database 'Bertram Russell' was pseudo for L. H. Hardingham. Simple research unearthed nothing more... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Simple research unearthed nothing more... Knowing Russell's real name doesn't help us too much does it? I wonder if he wrote under any other names? Anyway, here's another, bigger scan of the cover illustration for all to enjoy. C.C. Senf Synopsis of the story: "The Scourge of B'Moth" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
