BangZoom Posted October 10, 2013 Author Share Posted October 10, 2013 Kuttner and Cummings also had brief sojurns writing for comics in the 1940s. Henry Kuttner scripted 20 Green Lantern stories for DC between the years of 1944 and 1946. Here are a couple of samples of his work for All-American Comics.

BangZoom Posted October 10, 2013 Author Share Posted October 10, 2013 And according to Wikipedia: During the 1940s, with his fiction career in eclipse, Ray Cummings anonymously scripted comic book stories for Timely Comics, the predecessor to Marvel Comics. He recycled the plot of "The Girl in the Golden Atom," for a two-part Captain America tale, "Princess of the Atom." (Captain America #25 & 26) He also contributed to the Human Torch and Sub-Mariner, which his daughter Betty Cummings also wrote.

BangZoom Posted October 10, 2013 Author Share Posted October 10, 2013 Henry Kuttner's first published story was "Grave Yard Rats" which was published in the March, 1936 issue of Weird Tales. That story was later adapted by EC and appeared in Vault of Horror #14 under the title "Rats Have Sharp Teeth." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mountain Music Mayhem Doiby Dickles, the Human Bomb Haw! Selegue would love this one Hi Jack It was in the pile when I went to the BBQ. I'll have to read the story again. By the way, the cost of being a mad scientist has gone up since the 1940s. I don't think I can afford comics and a home lab too (even if I get an idea to generate a good monster). However, a giant tardigrade may be a pretty good idea. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BangZoom Posted October 10, 2013 Author Share Posted October 10, 2013 Schomburg's cover illustrations for both books are certainly different than his 1940's comic book work. I didn't even recognize them as being works by Schomburg at first. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BB-Gun Posted October 10, 2013 Share Posted October 10, 2013 I call this Schomburg's Dali Period. They are kind of surrealistic, I think. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BB-Gun Posted October 11, 2013 Share Posted October 11, 2013 found 2 more as online images (don't have 'em) could be the whole shebang There are a lot more science fiction covers by Schomburg. Check out Flickr. I saw at least a dozen more but you have to sort through a lot of other items to find them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
