Ending The Gang With A Bang

Thursday Gang Busters Day.

Today's episode of Gang Busters is by Joe Maneely and comes from #62.

It is wonderful to see that at least under this editor artists like Joe Maneely were allowed to have their own style.

Who Are Ya' Gonna Call?

Sunday Meskin Measures.

Today we skip our regular visit to Headline to have a look at one of a few stories Mort Meskin did for DC in the late fifties. This time, it's not one of the 'horror' books but a small, lesser known crime title called Gang Busters. Gang Busters was based on a radio show, but ran a lot longer than that. In fact, I will be showing some of the other stories for the later run on the days after this. In it you will see two by George Roussos, which gives you another look at the difference between Meskin and Roussos' styles - when they were so often lumped together at Prize. I also have a story by Joe Maneely, who was also looking for better paying work at that time and really outdid himself on everything he did for DC.

Like, Gang Busters

Friday Comic Book Day.

A couple of weeks ago, I shared a series of Dan Barry stories, including one from DC's Gang Busters. He is all over the first issues of that series, but hen I went back to them to have a look, I saw that George Roussos also is represented pretty consistantly. He is almost in every issue and in #6 he even does the cover. In the earliest stories he seems to have had help from Mort Meskin, or at least has borrowed some of his poses and expressions.
