Remember that Jack wanted to be editor and writer of his Fourth World material and let other artists draw the books.  But Carmine wouldn't let him.  So I think Jack would have accepted doing breakdowns. I also think Jack would have loved Boris covers and a chance to meet Boris in person.  And DC could afford the young Boris at that time.  But having an editor to shape up Jack's writing would have caused Jack to bolt, even though Steinbeck and Hemmingway themselves had editors by comparison!!  Even Stan needed an editor.  But, at that time in his career, I don't think Jack would have accepted it.

Carmine and DC hired Jack in the hopes of destroying Marvel, not to give Jack the creative and editorial control he thought he was getting.  What a terrible business decision.  I love everything Carmine to this day, but this business decision was not his finest hour.


All accurate, but though the books were not as successful as hoped, I think Kirby-helmed-not-Kirby-drawn books would not live in our memories as they have.

I think if I was Carmine at the time, I might have picked this up for a Showcase spot.  But I would have Jack do breakdowns and some other artist do finishes.  Then I'd commision Boris to do painted covers for the first 6 issues, ala Sea Devils.  Jack would write it with an editor to review it before publication.   

I doubt if Jack would have agreed to any of this, however.


Haha! Kirby would have bolted-- rightly so!

Your qualification is again interesting. I see Mora as a more interesting version of Sean Gordon Murphy (than he is himself).


I think SGM is more gestural and spontaneous in his rendering, even at the construction level. Dan nails more down before applying textures, IMO.

It doesn't get more Woddy than this! I love his design for Iron Maiden's armored goons so much that I made one a recurring character when I got a chance to write the IDW T.H.U.N.D.E.R. reboot.

Hot Nova Cane page!  The revival had the animated look of the times which was more advanced than Staton's previous iteration with bigger and bolder action.


I prefer the little touch of naivete in the Charlton run, but this is maybe an ideal middle ground between that and Staton's more angular style to come.

Any Chance this is an early filler page from Turok?  I don't have a full run of them so I can't check and I am not sure if the repritns included the fillers. I own a ful lrun of Tarzan but don't remember this page . The otehr option would be a caveman related Dell movie adaptation!


It's a Dell board, so there's a good chance on the adaptation front.

I wonder if Dodd chopped it or if it was chopped for a reprint for reprinting in a comic book  like a lot of Capt Easy Joe Palooka and Felix art I have owned over the years- a great Hamlin page nonetheless.


It's certainly possible, but all the other Alley Oop I've seen on the market has been intact. I've not done a deep dive on it, though.

I saw this beauty hanging in a comic shop for the incalculable sum of $400 when I was a kid. It blew my mind then and set me on the path from comic book collector to comic book art collector (with an ongoing trip as comic book artist between). Like holy writ.

Haha. So true. I flash back to Dave T arguing with my 15-year-old self about Keith Giffen's "new" style on Dr. Fate (I was a Defenders-era loyalist). Good times.
