Terror of the Deep-Harry Lazarus-1953


Sorry I've been absent. Was down sick all week. Back now with a well-drawn ghost pirate saga from Harry Lazarus. Almost a Joe Kubert feel to this one. To see more of Harry's work, check out Pappy's post from 7 years ago here!

Telecomics-Red Ryder-1946


"Teleboy?" Seemingly a standard humor strip, it was sometimes oddly used as a framing device for the title's other longtime backup strip, KING OF THE ROYAL MOUNTED!

Peanuts-1958


Not Schulz but a not bad simulation either. This is from an issue of NANCY but the GCD doesn't even list it as being in there, let alone who did it.

Happy Days-1979

Some lovely, if anonymous cartooning here. Anyone? Although literally NONE of the characters look all that much like who they're supposed to be, it's good--and somewhat familiar--stuff. I just can't place it.

I Come From the Shadow World-Steve Ditko-1959


I was not quite one year old when this came out. For years, after I picked it up used, a coverless copy of this was the oldest comic book I had!
