I'm wondering if anyone knows why in these books Dr. Kildare is drawn to resemble Richard Chamberlain while Dr. Gillespie is not drawn to look like Raymond Massey.
   By The Australian Panther
I can't give you a definite answer. In practice, when there was a comic produced of a licensed TV property, there were often specific rules in place as to whether you used a likeness of a character or not. At the time, Richard Chamberlain was a huge star from this show, so the artist would probably have been under orders to depict him accurately - and that is a lot of work. The artist may have just decided not to put so much effort into depicting Gillespie.

My guess is that it was a contractual thing, like the Panther says. Massey's contract probably specified that his likeness couldn't be used. The artists drew the replacement Dr Gillespie the same way in all the issues, which suggests his appearance was a conscious choice rather than an artist's quirk. It took them a couple of issues to get Kildare's hair the right color, though. Maybe they didn't have any color reference photos of Richard Chamberlain. Speaking of the art, I don't see any Robert Jenney here, and the inking is definitely not McCann. My best guest for the penciller is Norman Nodel, who did a fair amount of work for Dell around this time. The inker is a puzzle--it looks an awful lot like Ed Robbins, who also worked for Dell. But I've never seen Robbins ink anyone but himself. With issue #3 the art went to Vince Colletta's studio.
