Hey! Ted Galindo is swiping Alberto Giolitti on the last story. Does a decent job, too. Reminds me of an interview with Giolitti in which they asked what he thought of all the (European) artists swiping his work. He replied that he didn't mind; he just hated to see someone do it badly.

Galdino was an excellent artist in his own right. This was published in 1948. Was Alberto Giolitti's work avaliable in the US at that time? Curious.
Excellent article on Galdino here. He seems to have been very influenced by film in his story-telling.

Ironically, if he did swipe, he was in turn swiped, and very notoriously, by Roy Lichtenstein!

Amendment: Now I'm totally confused. The publishing detail on bottom of page 3 says September 1948.
The KirbyMuseum article says, ' The earliest listing for Ted in the GCD is February 1955' Huh?
Cheers!

Where did you get the year 1948, Panther? The indicia of this issue reads November-December 1956.

Oh, were you going by the GCD listing this as a 1948 series? All series at the GCD are listed by their starting year, no matter how many years they ran.

The date you quote (1948) is the date the publisher applied for a Second Class Mailing permit. Further down the indicia it says "Entire contents copyright 1956 by Feature Publications," and under panel three "November-December, 1956." Giolitti was well-established by then.
Thanks for the link to the biographical info on Galindo. Be assured that I'm not putting him down for swiping. My days of being a firebrand Adkins-hunter are long over. Galindo showed influences from Raymond and from Ruben Moreira among others. The guy had great taste.

No I wasn't putting him down for swiping, that is how many artists learn, I just wasn't sure where he would have seen Giolitt's work at that date.
The change in penciler credit from Mort Meskin ? To Bill Draut and inker change from Ted Galindo ? to ?, is from the art identification and consensus of Harry Mendryk and Ger Apeldoorn supported by Steven Brower.
