I have forgotten to upload the last of the Smith-Pocohontas story from Dan Heilman's American Adventure last week, so here it is. Happy reading, although the end may come as a surprise. I also added a new color scan I found of the July tenth strip, but I left the black and white version (from a paper that published a couple of sunday strips in black and white to catch up) so you can compare them.
A new story starts...
But on Sunday the previous one is once more recapped...

I Was The Title Style That Was Used Too Much
Jack Kirby Special 10.
Whatever the influence of these stories was on the work of Jack Kirby at Marvel, it is obvious Stan Lee pinched the I Verbed The Noun... style of story titles (and subjects), which Jack Schiff had taken from the than popular Men's magazines.
I am slowly selling my comics, cartoon and newspaper collection on Ebay. In short, when I am done scanning them and they are on the blog, I no longer need to keep the original paper. If you want to go and have a look what I have on sale now, please go to http://www.ebay.com/sch/gerapeldoorn/m.html?item=152381924308&ssPageName=STRK%3AMESELX%3AIT&rt=nc&_trksid=p2047675.l2562. Prices are low and I combine for shipping.

The Number One Research Site
I have been doing this blog for over ten years now. I find more and more that it is used by comic book, newspaper strip and cartoon historians as a tool for their research or additional illustrations. And I encourage that. I have larger uncleaned scans for all self scanned images on this blog for those want to use it for their book or article. Just ask and we'll get something going. Family members of artists mentioned here or anyone who is interested in donating scans is encouraged to make contact. By the way, the quickest way to reach me these days is through Facebook.
I highly recommend
Getting any of these wonderful books will help me fund this page.
I am a Dutch television writer, who has written about comics and television for a number of publications here in Holland and in the US. I love hearing from (forgotten) artists and/or their relatives, so if you are one of those and happen upon this blog, please leave a note.
