After showing Alex Kotzky's art in the sixties and seventies, here is some astonishing ork he did for Ziff/Davis in the early fifties. And look at that coloring. That is how comics should be done.

Star Material
Friday Comic Book Day.
After yesterday's Thorn McBride I took another look at Frank Giacoia's early work. Here are two stories have his name on it from Ziff Davis' Amazing Adventures series. The first is supposed to be drawn by Murphy Anderson and possibly Sy Barry, but it looks as much as Giacoias personal style as I know. The second is a bit more stiff,but that may be because of the subject matter. It is supposed to be inked by John Giunta.

Nothing To Ziff At
Friday Comic Book Day.
As long as I am doing Alex Kotzky's Apartment 3G on thursdays, here is a comic book story he did in the early fifies. Lotzky started ut in comic books at Quality, first as an assistant/inker/imitator of Lou Fne. After that he is supposed to have been one of the artists working on Plastic Man. Later on he was Jack Cole's inker on the more realistic Plastic man and horror stories. After that he sort of disappears. I have seen some of his illustration and advertising work from that period, but I assume he was doing a lot of ghosting of newspaper strips. So this work for Ziff Davis may be some of his last comic book work. It seems to me pretty close to his 'own' style and compares well to the later Apartment 3G. I was alerted to this story by an interview in Alter Ego #120 with writer Ed Silverman.

Colanoscopy
Saturday Leftover Day.
Now that more and more comic books from the forties and fifties are becoming available on the internet (especially through the efoorts f the guys at The Digital Comics Museum) I like topick up a lesser or lesser known book every now and then to see who may be in them. Every book had several stories and several atists and sometimes you can be surprised. This one certainly counts as one, since I hadn't seen this artist at thos publisger yet. And it is sort of a funny story as well, something he flirted with but hardly ever did. In the same book is a two page filler by Dave Berg (who returns in #8 as well) which O shold show some other time. But here, not noted by the GCD, is Mr. Gene Colan in a rare Ziff-Davis appearance...

Sloppy Joes
Saturday Leftover Day.
Yesterdag post about the army Sunday section made me go back to what I have of Ziff-Davis' G.I. Joe and I found I had a couple more stories from The Yardbirds by Dan DeCarlo I hadn't shown yet. This obviously was a long run. If you follow the tag you will find many more.
