Sock It To 'Em

Tuesday Comic Strip Day.

When Tony DiPreta first took over Joe Palooka from Moe Leff (whio had started out as Ham Fisher's assistant and had taken over the strip in the early fifties), he showed much more of his own unique style. I like these early years (but not enough to set aside the time to scan the long run I have - mainly because I am already scanning four other strips from that aprticular paper and want to get on with it). But here are a couple of stray ones, I came across.

Howdie Pardner

Friday Comic Book Day.

Toward the end of the fifties Stan Lee was writing a lot of western stories. Plotwise they were not very much, but they did have his distinct voice. And they had the benefit of often having the best artsts and the best splash pages. A selection. Some of these books I am actually selling on Ebay.
