A Liffte Tufts

Saturday Leftover Day.

Warren Tufts' first newspaper strip Casey Ruggles ran from 1949 to 1954. According to the Wikipedia page (citing the always reliable Don Markstein), Tufts did not draw the Sunday page between Auust 1953 and January 1954 (before resuming it himself until September). I knew the strip was continued after that by another artist (acoording to Wikipedia it was Al Carreno). Ghost artists mentioned on the strip are Al Plastino, Alex Toth, Edmund Goode and Ruben Moreira. Of course Alex Toth's work was much earlier and on the dailies. This early Sunday looks like none of the others. Al Plastino was the most adaptable of them, but even him I don't recognize here.

Awarding Ruben

Friday Comic Book Day

In the past I have shown some samples of the Impossible -- But True series featuring TV Detective Roy Raymond debunking outragous claims of supernatural occurances. The first few were done by Dan Barry, but after a while it became Ruben Moreira's regular contribution to Detective Comics. DC has a very good reprint series called Showcase Presents for this sort of thing, but unfortunately they have not yet collecte these (with or without the different but similar Dr. Thirteen series by Leonard Starr). Because Detective Comics is such a protected title it is hard to come by samples, but I have found a couple more.

Art Instruction

Saturday Leftover Day.

Yesterday I wanted to show some of Leonard Starr's art for DC, but I accidentally used a Ruben Moreira story. So today I have replaced the Starr and am adding another early DC great to this post: Joe Kubert.
