| first story ,art by voight I think. |
|
| That sure does look like Voight. Great drawing, lively posing and beautiful women! Crazy that the letterer gives himself a credit line. |
|
| This book has a secret. It has a one-shot strip of a character called 'Funnyman'. Not this better known 'Funnyman'
http://toonopedia.com/funnyman.htm.
This character is a serious forerunner of the current version of the Joker. Post Alan Moore. Very good art too. And its unusual for being a story in which the Villain stars, wins and presumably was intended to be a regular character. This 'Funnyman' also has much in common with the RED SKULL. A great find. |
|
| I am aware of an unpublished Funnyman story (the villain) - penciled, inked and lettered. Yes, he clearly was meant to be an ongoing feature. |
