Marcus, A match made in cleaning heaven.

Dan, I discovered him several years back. I can't understand why he is not more widely recognized. After picking up several of his antique printed pages, I just about fell out of my chair when I ran across this original. I am beyond thrilled to be able to have it in my small collection. I would love to see a book focusing on his career.

Marcus, The Golden Age of aviation is just beginning. Love the adventurous spirit of the era.

Marcus, I love that first panel. Glad you enjoyed it.

Dave, Glad you enjoyed it. I'm still surprised that I was able to get it. Olson had such a wonderful style.

Marcus, His work is always wonderfully energetic.

Marcus, He certainly has an instantly identifiable style. His work is much fun.

Marcus, Alonging look into each other's eyes seems on the horizon. Certainly, a different era of courtship. Sorry the image is so shiny. The shades are very well done, when not glistening in my photo.

Marcus, He does put the viewer right behind the plate. Nice sharp illustration style.

Marcus, I agree. Again, an artist who had a unique style. Wonderful work.

Marcus, Miller had an instantly indentfiable style, mutch like the Gotto piece I posted earlier. I do love his use of negative space here to convey the snowy setting.

Marcus, A match made in cleaning heaven.

Marcus, Thanks. I just could not remember the artist, but knew he had a background in the comics.

Rich, in a second!

Marcus, certainly a variety of exotic choices.

Marcus, Those who made up The Greatest Generation, brought to life by Mr. Greene.

Marcus, I find his character studies fascinating. He could really capture personality.

Ben, glad you enjoyed it. I've been trying to unravel the name for a while. A very distinctive, but very mysterious, signature.

Marcus, it does give a wonderful dimension to the panels.

Marcus, it does have all of those. Great strip.

Marcus, the art for this strip is just beautifully done. Love his technique.

Rich, Glad you enjoyed it as much as I did. I had looked at this piece on Steve's site for a while. I was, luckily, able to add it. I agree. He is a wonderful artist, and I love to see his process. A little Leyendecker influence on this. Boy, I would love to see him do a book in this style. Love those adventure filled years that this represents.

Marcus, You are very correct. Although this is set post WW1, those pre war treaty entanglements had dragged the European powers, and later the states, into the abyss.

Marcus. it is. Each game can be a surprise. Underdogs still have that magic from time to time.

Marcus, glad you enjoyed it. I think it captures the Depression era adventurer quite well.

Marcus, I think I prefer these to the photography which supplanted it. Those amazing illustrators had to be storytellers as well. Cleaver only got better as the years went by.

Marcus, I completely agree. I looked forward to each new issue. Loved his cityscapes. They added so much to the tales.

Marcus, I've enjoyed his work through the years. I think my first exposure to him was a story featured in a Marvel black and white magazine during the seventies. I think, "Deadly Hands of Kung Fu." His style is so distinct.

Marcus, I love his very distinctive brushwork. He also poked fun at the politicak figures of the day, but in a very whimsical manner. An art we seem to have lost in contemporary times. 

Artless, I'm glad you enjoyed it. I, too, love the art from this era. The lion is majestic. The photographer seems to echo the, years later, antics of Jerry Lewis.  "Hey, Liooooooon!" Certainly two different types of characters.

Marcus, he is experiencing the hazards of field photography! Good for him that the lion seems more curious than hungry. Glad you enjoyed the piece. It makes me wonder as to the fate of the other four panels from the story.

Here's looking at you Marcus....Greatly enjoy your comments. The film still inspires with each viewing. David really captured the spirit in this piece.

Marcus, glad you enjoyed it. I grew up on Westerns. This piece keeps those memories alive. Pitt does not get nearly the attention he deserves. Like you, I love the pallet of this piece. His ink pieces are equally amazing.

Brian, I completely agree. Jeff was a perfect match for the character. Loved that book. Your Butler commission is a beauty also.  Glad you enjoyed this one.

Marcus, thanks. It captures the spirit of Mr. Bradbury's story quite wonderfully. My photo does not do it justice. Glad you enjoyed it.

Thanks, Nash. Glad you enjoyed it. I would love to see Jason illustrate a version of this classic. 

Dan, Thanks so much. Glad you enjoyed the piece. I was surprised when I first discovered his artwork several years back. Why had I never heard of this artist before? He checked all the boxes for work that I usually enjoy.  I feel there is a vast, untapped, resovoir of his work out there. He deserves much more acclain. He had a brother, Ralph, who also worked for the publications of the day. 

Marcus,  glad you enjoyed it. The details are pretty amazing. I don't think they even show up well in the scan. 

Bob, thanks. I love the style of this piece.

Marcus, I thought he captured the atmosphere of the Cirus to perfection. You can almost fell as if you were strolling among the wagons and tents.

Marcus, it is one of the things I love about his pages. He coveys movement with such ease, and always sets the stage well.

Marcus, I completely agree. His lines are so delicately precise. Love her expression.

Bob, thanks for your comment. I was beyond thrilled to get this one. Jeff went into overdrive to capture just the right spirit. Filled with little wonders. Glad you enjoyed it.

Marcus, I love the tribute to the icons of the era.

Duke, I was equally thrilled to get this. I've not been able to find more work by Power, With the execution of this piece, I feel that he was an accomplished artist. So many are forgotten these days. It evokes the spirit of Caniff's Terry for me.

Duke, thanks. Each time I study these, I discover something new. The artist, whoever he was, had a wonderful style. Very distinctive. I would love to know where these were used.

Duke, thanks. Glad you enjoyed it.

Marcus, thanks so much. This piece has so many litte wonders. A little window onto the people of the era,  and their habits. 

Thanks, Matthew. I never tire of seeing the work of Mr. Kelly.

Thanks, Brett. I love the work of illustrators from this era. His plates that were used were wonderful.
