Cover

Here’s a 1963 selection of light girlie cartoons by BLAKHAWK and TORCHY cartoonist Bill Ward. They’re from a magazine called COLLEGE LAUGHS that featured the above cover by John Severin and was published by the same fella that utilized those here pseudonymous folks for decades in his CRACKED magazine.

SILVER AGE COMICS brings to light what he calls “the unknown SPIDER-MAN story,” a bizarre out-of -continuity fill-in drawn in 1968 by (who would become Spidey’s regular artist some 7 years later) and tossed away in MARVEL SUPER HEROES # 14.

Over at my place, BOOKSTEVE’S LIBRARY, there’s 3 CAPTAIN TOOTSIE one-pagers. This was a series of popular comics ads for Tootsie Roll products that was originally done by CAPTAIN MARVEL creator CC Beck, later with/by Pete Costanza and still later by Bill Schrieber. Check back through my archives for more examples of this fun long-running ad strip.

Here’s a 1967 EERIE story by a then virtually unknown newspaper strip artist named Neal Adams who would very soon revolutionize comics art-and especially BATMAN- as we know it. Although I’m betting he had no clue at the time his work here emerges as a full-blown wonder in spite of the fact that this was his only his second published comic book story!
