No Steve Is A Nomad

Friday Story Strip Day.

Some months ago, a member of the Facebook Steve Roper group asked me i I had any scans of Steve Roper. I had to admit that I come across them often, but apart from the earliest years (when Bill Overgard was still trying to look like his mentor, Milt Caniff) I am not really attracted to it. And because story strips are very hard to get into if you haven't got long runs, I never got around to scanning them for this blog. But of course, it is a strip of some importance (and certainly endurance) and it does deserve some attention. So I gatehred the scans I have made over the years and cleaned them up. Not really a complte story, but a good overview of Bill Overgards growth as an artist over the years. The first one is from hen the strip was still signed Bill Woggon, but actually drawn by Pete Hoffman, the official ghost for the strip sincs after WWII.

Actually, it was Elmer Woggon (Bill's brother) who originated the strip (with Big Chief Wahoo as the lead character).
