Description

John Forte - South Sea Girl Daily Comic Strip Original Art (Iger/Phoenix Features, c. 1953).

John Forte's art has exceptionally fined lined inking on this daily. This is "good girl" art at its finest, and in a daily comic strip!

In an attempt to keep some of the characters Iger and Eisner had created alive, Iger started the small Phoenix Features newspaper syndicate in the early 1950s, using the talents of the Iger Shop artists to produce such titles as Flamingo (Matt Baker and John Thornton) Inspector Dayton (Jack Kamen), The Hawk (Robert Webb), and this South Sea Girls by Baker (first period) and John Forte.
__________________________________________________________________________________________

L'arte di John Forte presenta un'inchiostrazione eccezionalmente raffinata su questa daily. Questa č l'arte cosiddetta "good girl" (bella/brava ragazza) al suo meglio in una striscia quotidiana!

Nel tentativo di mantenere in vita alcuni dei personaggi creati da Iger ed Eisner, Iger fondň la piccola casa editrice Phoenix Features nei primi anni '50, avvalendosi del talento degli artisti dell'Iger Shop per produrre titoli come Flamingo (Matt Baker e John Thornton), Inspector Dayton (Jack Kamen), The Hawk (Robert Webb) e questo South Sea Girls di Baker (le prime strisce) e John Forte.

Pretty fun and falls into the trope of men pitting the women as rivals.
