Marcus,

Certainly a different era. These gentleman were taking advantage of one stop, Probably for them, inexpensive cleanliness.

Shelton,

He is an amazing narrative storyteller. His pencils are so tight!

Marcus,

You are spot on. Each panel is beautiful little illustrative work. One of the reasons I enjoy his work so much.

Mark,

As did I. They captured the stories in a wonderfully moody way. I could not wait for the next issue to be released!

Shelton,

As do I. He had a wonderful style.

Marcus,

Yes! Those sewer alligators have found a home!

Shelton,

I agree! Makes my want to give the NYC subway system a wide berth. He was great at capturing character and setting.

Harry,

Glad you enjoyed it. I keep finding more wonderful details in the lines each time I study it.

Shelton,

Thanks. He was one of the greats in a generation of great artists. Love seeing any work by him.

Rob,

I feel much the same about his work. Each line is always elegantly rendered. He deserves much more recognition. Glad you enjoyed it.

Shelton,

I love his use of tones in this piece. They really make the scene pop. Glad you enjoyed it.

Marcus,

Certainly a different era. People dressed just to go to the store. Old photos capture this period in amazing detail. I think the artist caught the spirit of that period wonderfully.

Duke,

Good question. I had originally thought this was oil, but the collector who owned it prior said it is Goauche. The tones are much more striking in person.

Marcus,

Yiu are spot on. No monitors or screens to rely on. You could open any type of publication, and see marvelous work like this. Truly a Golden Age.

Shelton,

Hids use of light and dark, throughout his career, is always wonderful. In person, the tones are much more vivid. He was also an excellent storyteller.

Duke,

He did a great job on this tribute to Dave. I, too, love the expression and surroundings. Glad you enjoyed it.

Marcus, 

It truly is a love letter to Dave and his creation. Glad you enjoyed it as much as I did.

Ilia,

All of his work on this series is very striking. Little noir masterpieces. They are full of drama and storytelling.

ilia,

I agree. A lot of fine inking in this piece. You can almost feel his concentration on that out of reach rail.

Jeff,

He was a master of character and expression.I also love the clown. I consider myself fortunate to have two Rusty pages bookending his work on the strip.

Jeff,

I think he deserves more attention. A long career with many outlets for his work. His inks are always well done.

Duke,

His pages are so wonderfully creative and colorful. Really just a little painting. I love the characters and surroundings in this piece.

Ilia,

He was a master of expression, character, and setting. One of the great strip artist/Illustrators. I love studying the panels of this page.

Ilia,

I was thrilled to get this one. I've enjoyed his work for so long. I think the piece gives an interesting peek into his thought/creative process.

Michael,

Thanks. Glad you enjoyed it. He was a genius.

Marcus,

It is a nice slice of what we were in that era. I love all the small touches to place it for the viewer.

Duke,

Just finally getting around to cataloging my long negleted scans. 

Marcus,

He had an eye for detail and character. He also loved to add a little touch of humor.

Marcus,

I love the Superman of this era. The artist captured the wonder of those marvelous Fleischer cartoons.

Duke,

His figures were masterfully done. While this piece has no background, he was really wonderful at anchoring his characters in a setting. Many times, it involved really well thought out humor.

Marcus,

He was a great storyteller. The positions and reactions of both tell the story. I like his notes around the edges.

Duke,

Thanks. I love his wonderful capture of personality. He made it look easy.

Peter,

It would pose a challange. I guess you could say the artist is putting his best foot forward! Glad you enjoyed it.

Rob,

I was surprised to run across three ink works by Mr. Gruger, as I was used to seeing his later pencil works. I, too, love his inks.

Marcus,

I guess it would improve flexability, but could result in a charleyhouse! From all appearances, he is painting on socks. That would probably cut down on the laundry bill. A very interesting drawing.

Duke,

I agree. love his lines and storytelling.

Rob, 

I stumbled across all these Gruger's from one source. I've always enjoyed seeing his work, but never thought a piece would come my way. I feel that these are early in his career. No dates. Just the handwritten titles. As I love inks, these were very welcome to my small collection. 

Rob,

Thanks. Yes, I was on the wrong side of the Atlantic. It should have been attributed to Punch. After sifting through my files, I may have been a little punchy! I do love his pen and ink pieces. He has been neglected in the intervening years, as have been so many other wonderful artists.

Peter,

I could not agree more. Loved his Kull. This continuesd my love for his work.

Peter,

I think his work on this title is under appreciated. Although it was recently reprinted in a nice hardcover, The original muddy colors did not make a fantastic initial impression. I saw through those, and loved it from publication. Simply amazing storytelling throughout.

Peter,

I was very fortunate to pick these up when they were first offered by Four Color Images. I only wish my budget had been larger. They had the majority of pages available. Regrets!

Peter,

It remains a favorite piece of mine. Still amazed each time I study it.

Peter,

I loved to visit with Mark at his appearances. It was like seeing atreasure trove when I looked through his portfolio. I'm thankful I was able to add my pieces years back. The current prices, though well deserved, have gone beyond my budget. I still love admiring his beautiful new work.

Carl,

Thanks. I'm glad you enjoyed it. Mr. Lynd created a beauty.

Marcus,

He certainly showed how these vehicles take a spot in our everyday life, even taking center stage.

Duke,

Thanks. I continue to study all the details. He had such a confident line.

Will,

He could certainly capture mood and personality. Love each face.

Jerry,

Thanks. I completely agree. His early Terry years are especially striking.

Lee, Thanks. I like Sparling's work on this strip. I've a few more to post when I get them scanned.
