Makin’ Links # 66


Three stories of World War I from 1950′s Atlas Comics are up at TEN CENT DREAMS, each with downright amazing art from Bill Everett, John Severin and Joe Sinnott! The panel above is from Namor’s papa.

See. This is what I was saying yesterday about Pappy’s. Not only do we get a historically significant bit of Walt Kelly and Oscar Lebeck (Dell editor) war bond propaganda from OUR GANG COMICS but we also get Pappy’s personal reflections on war bonds and even Bugs Bunny and friends singing Irving Berlin’s “Any Bonds Today?” Interesting to note that the piece is copyrighted by Lebeck and Kelly and not Dell.

Here’s a nice sequential 1952 run of George Wunder’s TERRY AND THE PIRATES, a strip that was really pretty good but was cursed by having to follow Milton Caniff’s classic original run! Give it a try and you’ll see it doesn’t deserve to suffer by comparison.

Bully posts a nicely nostalgic piece on COMICS OUGHTA BE FUN about the good old days of 1975, particularly as the relate to marvel Comics both then and now.
