Friday Comic Book Day.
As we know from the recent three part interview in Alter Ego about his early career in comics, Marie Perkins artist Leonard Starr did a lot more comic book pages than one might expect. Not only as a penciller, also as a Milton Caniff inspired inker. After a couple of years taking just about any job he could get his hands on, he finally landed a secure position at DC, the most respected and best paying company. For them he did some of the mystery and mystery detective stuff as penciller and inker, some of which I have shown earlier. He also had a regular cowboy series in Western Comics called Nighthawk. Here just one example, there are a couple more when you follow the label. If there is interest I could do more. I don't think they'll ever be collected by DC and if they would, I'd have them start with Dr. Thirteen anyway.

Excellent. Always loved Starr. Seeing these early pages, you can see he had that great direction in what he was doing already. Thanks for posting!
