I was a science fiction fan, and remember his art on Tommy Tomorrow and Cave Carson in Showcase and on Adam Strange in Mystery in Space. I still have the Adam Strange stories, but no the others.<br /><br />At the time, and being about 10 years old then, I didn't like his art on Tommy Tomorrow or Adam Strange as his style differed so much from previous artists. Jim Mooney, Murphy Anderson(?) and others on Tommy, and Carmine Infantino on Adam. Today I really appreciate Lee's work.<br /><br />I wonder if its fair to call him a Caniff imitator. I know he worked for Caniff for some time, perhaps his style was very similar, not entirely an imitation.<br /><br />I looked at the Hotshot series briefly, I'll take more time with it next visit.<br /><br />Thanks.Billhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11155777010112780134noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-25254614.post-63575962536021056242014-03-21T10:29:46.873-07:002014-03-21T10:29:46.873-07:00Actually I'm looking for Elias art on features...Actually I'm looking for Elias art on features I remember.

Did you check out my posts on his work for Steve Canyon's Hotshot shorts?<br />Ger Apeldoornhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03633862833036214748noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-25254614.post-89986247651533231932014-03-17T10:52:58.371-07:002014-03-17T10:52:58.371-07:00Thank you, I really enjoyed the Lee Elias Beyond M...Thank you, I really enjoyed the Lee Elias Beyond Mars and Tommy Tomorrow.

His work for Beyond Mars deserves a reprint in color, and I've been begging various publishers for it, but to no avail. Am I the only person interested in seeing that?<br /><br />And Tommy Tomorrow also deserves a reprint, but we know what DC thinks of that...Diego Cordobahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03217884448976689435noreply@blogger.com
