See my post for the 'evidence'.<br /><br />I believe that what you see as a touch of Lee Elias, is in fact the resemblance to the work of Caniff - on Stev Canyon, mind you, because I don't think he used the variation on lighter and heavier lines in the faces as much in his Terry years.<br /><br />The only artist coming close to this particular style is Ray Bailey, but there are two things standing in the way. First of all the date of this book, as Bailey was too busy in the early fifties with his own newspaper strips and secondly those odd, almost obsessive broad lips on some on the characters. I have never seen anyone do that before. Is there a Caniff inker I don't know about?Ger Apeldoornhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03633862833036214748noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-25254614.post-55395019038196582912011-03-27T06:44:57.815-07:002011-03-27T06:44:57.815-07:00Just wild guessing now, but maybe it will trigger ...Just wild guessing now, but maybe it will trigger you to something more helpful.<br />Partly reminds me of the artwork in Mister Mistery #1 "Television Ghost", credited to a certain Charles Stern (Kurtzman lookalike), later billed to Mike Esposito, I believe. <br />The splashpage however looks like Gillmor hack Eugene Hughes might have had added some brushstrokes. <br />Back to you, Ger.SpaceLordhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09793130148012146870noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-25254614.post-72067239773534439742011-03-27T06:37:45.827-07:002011-03-27T06:37:45.827-07:00Interesting stuff by Colan.
