Continuing the black and white trend, here's an unusual one, taken from the full-color comic book, TEEN-IN published by Tower Comics. Most of Stone's solo work from this period was in the sleazier b&w horror mags so it's nice to see this clean, creative usage of the medium. Why it was done this way in a color comic, though, I have no idea.
A rare instance of Samm Schwartz lettering someone else's work.
ReplyDeleteA lot of Chic Stone's stuff can have good drawing and not so good drawing and often on the same page. He did a uniformly good job with this story. In fact, it has a consistent quality that he didn't really bring to his superhero work for Tower (stress on the 'consistent' part). Was TEEN-IN in a magazine format that paid better money, or do you think that his heart just was more in the romance genre? I don't really think the following would be true, but I'd like to imagine the lack of color was a reward for the better quality art that let him show off what he was really capable of.
