I agree, Martin, it does look like Burnley inks IMHO.Although a big Swan fan, I never knew he penciled TT, not having any Action Comics from this period. When I first saw reprints from the 1950s House of Mystery and Gangbusters, around 1970…
Nelson was so underrated as a writer. Thinking back to how many of his stories I enjoyed, I'd buy a "Best of Bridwell" collection in a heartbeat. I know I found his Super Friends better written than the actual Justice League of the time, as…
Cover painter Allen Anderson's comic book work was mostly for Ziff-Davis's comics, but even though Fiction House didn't use paintings for their comics covers, they of course used them on their pulps. With comic books pencilers the first thi…
A problem IDing Andru pencils is that what we think of his pencils with Esposito are more the latter's redrawing. That is, there's an assumption with A&E work that we're seeing more of Andru's pencils than we are.Then there's the matter of
Having posted on the American Perry Rhodan book series for some swipes in the covers, I'm turning to the original digest series in German prose and another such series begun decades later. The Perry Rhodan #1 (Sept 8, 1961) cover is by John…
Past tense might mean Joe Gill, but I dunno. I don't find anything that says that Miss Bikini Luv story isn't his, at any rate. I see Gill suggested as the writer of the Dear Park letters feature early on, and I can't imagine where that cam…
My understanding when I worked for Western was that Du Bois was the only freelancer working for both the west and east coast offices routinely as if they were separate companies. When you see Dan Spiegle turn up in an east coast book, that
Thanks for this. I see that Inducks lists some Beard and Harper stories, including solo stories! I would personally suspect that both worked on each other's solo stories as well, but at this point, only their children might know. I think th…
Thank you. I love those Go-Go books but couldn't quite put my finger on why they are so "huh?" BK, the folly of youth meant I never saw the Tippy and Go-Go books until a couple of years ago, even though I read the other Tower titles in the
Great detective work as usual, Martin. I indexed the corrections for the GCD and credited you and your blog. It strikes me that if you've read Arneson using 'Great Scott!' with two 'T's, it may have been the book's editor changing the spell…
Wonder if Dorfman wrote anything for Tower? I don't think Wood and Adkins ever worked as a penciler/inker team. I believe in every case, Wood was the artist of record and he turned around and employed a number of assistants who both pencile…
The "invisible moon" story is "The Ghost of Sivana, Jr." from CMJ #99, in which an invisible moon does figure in the story. So it is. After looking at the story, I think "The Ghost of Sivana Jr." is the better title. "The Town Hero" is from…
