Sunday Leftover Day.
Since I was out yesterday in free tomorrow, I am moving up this weeks posts one day. As it is Easter, why not start with a nice bit of Walt Kelly from Dell Four Color's Easter With Mother Goose by Waly Kelly?

Between A Rock And A Hard Man
Friday Comic Book Day.
Another look at the work of the best Milt Caniff imitator/contributor, Ray Bailey. In the late fifties he started working for Deel, for whom he drew several western books and assorted others. I have chosen a story from Have Gun Will Travel #4 with one of those trademark rocky things he liked to add to everything. I wonder if he lifted them from Caniff's work in the late thrties or if they were added there by him as well (when he was Caniff's background assistant). But first a inside backpage he did for Four Color #1220 (the only page he did in that book).

Rock of Ages
Saturday Leftover Day.
Steve's comment to yesterday's post prompted me to go to the Grans Comic Datbase and resarch the work of Ray Bailey a bit more. After Tom Corbett he ended up at Dell doing lots of stuff for them. I have shown some of his Boris Karloff stories here before (two of the three mentioned in the GCD), but there is more. He also did a long run of Turok, which I am downloading as I type this. He also did a single issue of Lee Hunter, Indian Fighter for Four Color #904. This time there is no doubt he was mistaken for Lee Elias. I have added the last inside page, where we see one of his typical rock formations. A type of rock which seems to have also excisted in China in the forties and on the moon in the mid fifties...
