At least some of the time. Actually Davey Jones was the continuation of Curly Kayoe, a strip about a boxer by Sam Leff. That in itself was a continuation of Joe Jinks, which Sam Leff did together with his brother Moe. Moe (Leff) left and started working as Ham Fisher's main assistant on the very similar Joe Palooka. He took over the writing and artwork in the early fifties (at least), when (or probably even before) Fisher committed suicide. Anyway, Curly Joe was a sort of poor cousin to Joe Palooka. In 1961 Sam Leff stepped back as the artist and the name of the series was changed to Davey Jones. Alden McWilliams took over. At some point (probably when McWilliams became too busy ghosting yet another strip, Dan Flagg) he was replaced by Win Mortimer. I believe I read somewhere that some of those later strips were actually written by Joe Siegel.Ger Apeldoornhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03633862833036214748noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-25254614.post-83068180707330437772020-03-23T08:21:23.582-07:002020-03-23T08:21:23.582-07:00nice one get to know a lot about comics from your ...nice one get to know a lot about comics from your blog<br />will you post something about davey jones by al williamson<br />i think it was published in 1960's <br />in newspaper like washington reporter, lodi news sentinal news dispatch .....ranjan gangopadhyayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06672711568678848569noreply@blogger.com
