For the first five issues of DC's Western Comics Howard (Howie) Post tried his hand at a realistic style for Rodeo Rick. Although this informations is available on the Grnd Comic Book Database, I guess that many of those who love Post for his children'stories will be very much surprised by these.
as a bonus, I have a one page filler Post did for All-Star Western #58:
Robinson Crucial
Thursday Late Reading Material.
Earlier this week I showed two Alfred stories by Jerry Robinson. I will be looking out for any others. Here are three more Robinson masterpieces. I have said it before and will say it again: in my opinion Robinson did his best solo work for Timely in the fifties, both in the early fifties, when his art was lightyears ahead of every and later on when he just through of these small gems in between his other more serious illustration work. It is not well remembered, not often reprinted and he has been done a huge disservice by those who only see how much it resembled the work of his pupil Steve Ditko.
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.
