| That "Sam Glanz" sure looks a lot like JACK KIRBY to me - could it be? Winnie the Welder was muy amuso! What else can I add -? Oh, yeah, Super Narfstar Comics? I LIKE IT, I LIKE IT! |

| Rare Harvey issue with a paper cover; Great Nazi story with Shock Gibson. Hitler appearance too. Amusing other stories. Published in 5/1946 |
|
| This Shock Gibson story is also in Speed Comics 27. And there it says, ' Art previously credited as: pencils - Jack Kirby ?, inks - Joe Simon ?, never credited as such in TwoMorrows Kirby Checklist. Correction from Bud Plant, 2006-12-5.' Also it is signed by Glantzman. I have aways thought that had Sam wanted to do superheroes and science fiction ( rather than the more realistic War, Sword and action material he obviously preferred) He would have been Kirby's equal. The story is about a Big Gun, which would be the sort of technology Sam would have been interested in. An interesting one. |

| "Where There's A Will" by Ed Wheelan was previously seen in ALL-NEW COMICS #6 (January 1944). Wheelan was a genuine cartooning genius who doesn't get the appreciation he deserves. Best known for MINUTE MOVIES (that's a double-entendre for "mine-yute" as in "tiny"; as well as "minnit" as in "fast"), Wheelan originally created the movie-melodrama parody strip under the title "Midget Movies". He later drew those as backup features in DC's FLASH Comics, as well as working for M.C. Gaines on FAT & SLAT, after Gaines split with DC to form a new company (that eventually morphed into E.C. Comics). For Alfred Harvey, Wheelan did "Rufe McGoof", "First Aid KIT", and "Padlock Homes" as well as a few one-off strips like "Where There's A Will". E.C. Segar's THIMBLE THEATRE was probably initially patterned after Wheelan's MIDGET MOVIES (and the two cartoonists' styles are not dissimilar, either). |
