Pete Morisi worked for almost every company except DC. Here are a war story from Comic Media;s War Fury # 4and a filler from Harvey's War Battle #4. He did a lot of uncredited fillers for all Harvey titles and I will try and find a couple more.

Messin' About
Sunday More Easy Measures.
How do you replace Mort Meskin. Well, you don't. So I am still looking around. Since I have always been a fan of the fifties work of Pete Morisi and he seems to have worked for almost every other company undocumented, I will start with some of his rarer stuff. Here he is in the last issue of Black Diamond Western.

More Scorchy
Saturday Leftover Day.
Last Thursday I told you about George Tuska 'lost' Sunday strip Scorchy Smith. All I have ever see from those are black and white scans taken from microfiche copies. Blog friend Smurfwhacker suggested the reason the Sundays from this strip are so scarce because syndicate AP's client list mostly consisted of small town papers that did not have a Sunday. I have shown as many of the Sundays as I could find in a readable state (the microfiche process did not always translated the darker colors very well). Going back through the link (which I suggest you do too), I found I have not done the last few months of the strip, probably because so few of them were usable. But here are the last two I have, very near the end of Tuska's run on the Sundays - although he did continue the dialy for another two years. I suspect that there may even be some Pete Morisi ining on the second one? Morisi was a friend and sometimes studio mate of Tuska, whose style was influenced by him - and possibly the other way around as well.

Cracking Art
Friday Comic Book Day.
I have not yet shown any of Pete Morisi's later work, all of which was for low rent publisher Charlton. He had settled down into a slick and graphicly interesting style that showed his admiration for the work of George Tuska. I guess there will be a lot of Tuska swipes (especially for the faces) inthere and I think I even saw some Kubert material in there.
