Pat Calhoun Posted January 30, 2012 Share Posted January 30, 2012 Guess the time has come to show my favorite book. BZ got me going with this ‘Hoffman’ the mystery surrealistic paperback cover artist so amazing they wrote a book of tales about him. Oh- that’s ANOTHER Hoffman. ETA Hoffman the seminal German fantasist of the early 1800s. In addition this 1932 Harrap masterpiece features exquisitely-printed color plates by the wonderful Mario Laboccetta. I will not be scanning any more, because I don’t want to stress book or myself overmuch, but this one came out really good. Here is the cover I joked about above- plate will follow in separate post… Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BangZoom Posted February 3, 2012 Author Share Posted February 3, 2012 I've been reading lots of Atlas comics lately. I am impressed with all the top-notch talent that was working there in the 1950's. Most of the artists are individuals whose work I am familiar with, but I've also encountered several who I don't know. How many of the following can you identify?
