Lolli's Pop-Roger Armstrong-1964

Roger Armstrong was a prolific cartoonist known mainly for his work on Warners, Disney, and Hanna-Barbera properties for Gold Key and in newspaper strips for many years.

Boy Commandos-Curt Swan-1947

Like BLACKHAWK and other strips designed specifically for World War II, Simon and Kirby's BOY COMMANDOS took some odd turns in the post-war years. Here we see Rip Carter and his battle-scarred kids as French Musketeers, with early art from future Superman artist Curt Swan doing a credible S&K imitation. 

Sir Galant of the Round Table-1957

Here we have a smooth, familiar art style that I can't quite place? Joe Certa? Dan Barry? Frak Bolle? I seem to see traces of all three of these guys but perhaps it isn't one of them at all? Experts? What say you?

Lil Chick-A-Dee-Sheldon Mayer-1950

More of the genius of Sheldon Mayer is showcased here in this nearly silent strip and its amazing cartoon visuals. Mayer's role in the history of comics is well-documented but as a cartoonist in his own right, he remains unsung except as a cult figure.

Captain Tootsie-C.C. Beck-1948

This installment of the ubiquitous Tootsie Roll one-pagers co-stars movie, radio, and later TV star William Bendix. Who knew that Beck was so good with caricatures?

Congo King-Atomic Comics-1946

Tarzan, Jane and Boy...more or less. Congo King, Tonda, and Kuta.

Hoax-Paul Kirchner-1975

Some of Wally Wood's best work in the 1970s was done in connection with either Nicola Cuti or Paul Kirchner. Here they are on their own at Charlton.
