Cartoonists Make Better Lovers : Murphy Anderson

If you grew up consuming the Silver Age output from DC Comics, the art of Murphy Anderson would be ubiquitous. In that era he helped define the modern look of such characters as the Flash, Adam Strange, Batman, Hawkman, the Atom and Superman. In my mind, Anderson is the very definition of a “smooth” artist. His skill as an inker is legendary and he could ‘pretty up’ the pencils of anyone. 

  

“My Own Worst Enemy” comes from the St. John title ROMANTIC MARRIAGE issue 23 published in July of 1954.

Monsters vs Heroes : Mr. Monster

Back in the 1980’s cartoonist Michael Gilbert put together one of the more interesting comics of that era. Gilbert was a student and lover of all sorts of eclectic comic books. But when he stumbled upon an obscure Canadian title called SUPER DUPER COMICS, he fell in love with it’s star feature, Mr. Monster. Doc Sterne would don his colorful costume and pack his pistol to battle villains of the supernatural kind. Gilbert revived the hero in his tongue-in-cheek series MR. MONSTER. Here’s the cover to issue 2 by the late, great Dave Stevens.

 

Today I’m giving you a dose of the original in “The Terror Of Trezma” from SUPER DUPER COMICS #3.
