Tide of Terror-Carl Burgos-1949


GCD isn't sure this is Burgos but could be. I have to admit that until recently, I had no idea just how important Burgos was to Timely/Atlas right up through the end of the 1950s. Odd that his style just didn't fly when he was put on a couple of second tier heroes for Marvel just a very few years later.

I've seen a lot of Burgos' stuff from the late 1930s and early 1940s (HumanTorch, Iron Skull), as well as his 1950s and 1960s work. His style sure changed a lot over the years.
