Despite many mistaken claims, Kenneth Landau and Martin Landau were two different (and unrelated) people. Kenneth Vernon Landau had a long career in comic books, newspaper strips, and animation. There is a detailed bio in Lanbiek's Comiclopedia--https:www.lambiek.net/artists/l/landau_ken.htm

Just to keep the record straight, Martin Landau was also a trained comic book artists.
In fact if you go to that Lambiek article, the next article is on Martin Landau. Complete with a picture of him at his drawing board!.

He shared an office with Bill Holman, and especially admired the work of artists like Will Eisner, Milton Caniff, Winsor McCay, Roy Crane and George Herriman. He also replaced Sam Hale as Gus Edson's assistant on the family comic 'The Gumps' in the late 1940s.

Quite so; in my comment I was only addressing the fact that Ken and Martin were two different people. Martin's comics work seems to have been limited to newspaper strips. That same Lambiek entry has a great picture of Martin at work.
