Interesting that they used the "hide the hero's face" ploy Caniff used when he introduced Steve Canyon.<br /><br />It seems to me as if Cooke were looking for a comfortable style in these early dailies. This is probably crazy, but could there have been some "Jeff Hawke" in Marlo's design in the last few strips? Hawke had been around since 1955, but the strip would have been incredibly obscure in the US.<br /><br />I remember reading somewhere that Cooke actually drew the Drift Marlo comics himself. Wish I still had them to inspect.Smurfswackerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11807173070389349098noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-25254614.post-64089197469500494392013-01-18T16:58:06.628-08:002013-01-18T16:58:06.628-08:00great post......love these space age strips....and...great post......love these space age strips....and never heard of this one. wow....nice.
