Description

In the early 1980s, comic strip veterans Leonard Starr and Stan Drake created the album series Kelly Green for the French publisher Dargaud. With action-packed scripts by Starr and delicious artwork by Drake, this is one of my favorite comic series ever. Created for the French album market, this series contained violence and nudity never seen in comic strips like "Mary Perkins On Stage" and "The Heart of Juliet Jones". Stan Drake was a master of drawing beautiful women, and (if you ask me) the best artist ever when it came to drawing female hair. Here is what he had to say about this topic, in an interview with Shel Dorf in Comics Interview No. 26:
"The typical approach to drawing sexy women is to draw them with large busts and round, protruding fannies and shapely legs - but that's kind of gotten to be a cliche. It can be crass, and it can be caricactured. I say that you don't need to do all that. You can just draw a pretty girl with natural proportions, but boy, you give her nice, fluffy hair.. "Fluffy” is my term - draw the hair so that it looks like real hair that's blowing in the wind. When a woman walks, her hair does not sit still. Most guys, when they draw a woman's hair..it's like it's been sprayed with plastic - it doesn't move. Hair moves. The most movable part of a woman's body, besides her ass, is her beautiful hair."
This page is from the fourth Kelly Green album, The Blood Tapes (Original French title: Do-ré-mi.....Sang.) There were five albums, but only the first four were published in the US.

A great, great page! Congratulations! One of my favorite childhood comics, and it aged really well.
