Love 1-17

Nice pages. I'll nail down the story and issue number for you eventually. Regarding the artwork, I see Bill Draut's hand at work but I'm not sure if he did pencils, inks, or both.

Interesting artwork! It's hard to say for sure, but it looks to me like Joe Certa layouts/pencils with Al Avison inking. It would be wonderful to get access to Harvey's artist payment records....

I first discovered Tom Hickey when his signature was spotted hidden in the background of the horror story "The Forest of Skeletons". I've seen his stylized initials 'TH' added to several pages. I believe he slipped these past the editors, against standard Harvey policy. Bob Powell had a special deal with the Harvey brothers, and was the only artist allowed to sign his work.

First Love 15-14

Definitely Elias pencils, and probably Elias inks too. Very nice! I own a similar story that has changes indicated (for reprint) on the first page or two... but the attempt at salvaging such a salacious story was quickly abandoned.

Nice... I've admired this story for a while now. It looks just like Toth!

Panel two seems to show the influence of Steranko ? It reminds me of the story he did in Marvel's Our Love Story #5. A case of one great artist being influenced by another? Great page!

I love this story, I think it's a hard-hitting romance tale with fantastic artwork. It was a tough one to let go, but I'm happy it's found a good home. :-)

Yes I can. :-) It is the cover from Hi-School Romance #68. A very nice Al Avison effort!

It's hard to think of anything to say but "wow!"

Great splash page! I think this is just begging for a logo re-creation.

Nice piece! It's the original cover art for Harvey's First Romance Magazine #10.

Who doesn't love Wood's incredible level of detail? A real beauty.

Definitely Harvey art, although I'm not sure from which title (yet). Looks like Elias pencils with Belfi inks, but I think there's a chance Kremer might have had a hand in it somewhere. A beautiful page, no matter who did it!

Beautiful piece! But where's the rest of the story?

Wow wow wow! Smith is a true master of the form.

I loved this page. Probably Draut's best Harvey romance "filler" page. Congratulations on winning it.

Wow! A nice, spicy, story with great art by a real pro.

Beautiful. Definitely Kremer pencils; I think Ernie Colon might have inked it.

Simon does an impression of Jack Sparling's style - with interesting results!

"This Love of Ours", Splash
Owner: Lars Teglbjaerg

Comment posted on 6/25/2007
Is this one of Harvey's greatest romance stories? I think so! Truly sublime artwork. I was determined to win it at auction, but lost -- if you're ever ready to let it go, please think of me. Someday I must own it. :-)

I know the name of the man who drew these pages. He didn't do much work for Harvey, but thankfully while at Heritage I found one story where he wrote his name on the back of the art: Bill Walton. Unfortunately I don't know anything else about him.

"My Heart Was A Runaway", Splash
Owner: Lars Teglbjaerg

As you say, the Sink pencils are undeniable. I see the hand of Manny Stallman is also at work here. I believe panel 4 on page 4 clearly shows the influence of Stallman. Joe Simon is also represented here in the code-corrections. The man's head in panel 4 of page 3 is pure Simon. I must confess that as much as I love Manny Stallman's art, I don't think he and Sink make a good match. Still, their combined artwork produces a very interesting "atmosphere". I'd really like to see a copy of the published pre-Code story, to compare and contrast with this censored version!

A great piece. And I must add that the original version was always one of my very favorites - deadline or not!

Humphrey #21 pg 19
Owner: Ronald Montuori

Comment posted on 4/6/2007
Beautiful artwork! Heritage Comics was in the habit of crediting Al Avison with the art for all Humphrey Comics, but I believe this is actually the work of Warren Kremer (who also drew Little Max, Richie Rich, Little Dot, Hot Stuff, and many more). But no matter who drew the piece, it's definitely wonderful art. Congrats on a nice addition.

Congratulations on a great piece. What a classic cover! A wonderful example of Avison at his best.

Ah, Bernet... one of my favorite European comic artists. (It should be obvious why!) And a very nice example of his work. :-)

"Bride of Loneliness" by Bill Draut

I agree, it's definitely Bill Draut. Beautiful page!

Great page! I really love Terry Austin's inking.

"Revenge is Sweet", Splash

Comment posted on 10/15/2006
Nice story! I know very little about Arnold Hicks, but I like the art - it reminds me of Harvey's Vic Donahue. It's not terribly detailed, but very competent, with wonderful layouts and a good sense of design.

"Too Good at Love", Splash
Owner: Lars Teglbjaerg

Comment posted on 10/5/2006
A wonderful effort by Jack Sparling with red-hot "good girl" action. And remarkably unmolested by the Comics Code. I think it's one of Sparling's best romance stories.

"Night Shadows!", page 5
Owner: Lars Teglbjaerg

Comment posted on 10/4/2006
Very nice artwork, but I don't believe it's by Ray Baily. It looks to me like Bill Walton with Al Avison inks, attempting the Caniff-like style that Baily, Warren Kremer, and Lee Elias do so well. If Harvey genre comics had a "house look," this is it!

"Wife In Name Only", page 4 (detail)

Good eye! I'd never noticed the Eisner influence until you pointed it out, but I definitely see it now.

True Love #53 Cover
Owner: Lars Teglbjaerg

Comment posted on 8/30/2006
Hi Lars, I'm pretty confident that this is NOT by Bob Powell. I suspect it's either Al Avison giving a 100% effort, or John Prentice on a bad day.
