Can't wait for it. Your pieces on Mad's early comic imitators in Alter Ego a while back were fascinating.gene sculattihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02156895659341710822noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-25254614.post-41826030335274630862013-02-10T00:21:17.980-08:002013-02-10T00:21:17.980-08:00Th Lambiek page has nothing but: "Val Heinz s...Th Lambiek page has nothing but: "Val Heinz studied at the Chicago Academy of Fine Arts, together with Frank King, the creator of 'Gasoline Alley'. He was King and Bill Perry's assistant on this comic from 1945 to 1949. In 1949, he created the 'Dawn O'Day' strip for the Chicago News Syndicate. This series of realistically drawn gags that appeared in American newspapers like the Chicago News and the Baltimore Sun until at least 1954". Which is more than I had. I should ask Bas where he got the first part. They used some of my samples as illustratration and call the strip a series of gag strips, because I have never shared the dailies - which have a storyline.

You finally hit an artist I've never ...Hi Gar. You finally hit an artist I've never hear of with Val Heinz. Very nice stuff. Thanks so much!<br /><br />Now, as to Lee vs Ray... IMHO, the last two stories are Ray and the rest are Lee. There are lots of cases where Lee didn't sign, or wasn't allowed to sign his work.<br /><br />But back to Val... I can find very little on him. Do you have more info or samples. Again, very nice to discover a totally new strip and artist. Thanks!jhegenbehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07082204163626888629noreply@blogger.com
