[The Australian Panther]

I am going to respectfully offer an alternative opinion. If Bronco Moll is by Dick Rockwell he had talent and its a shame he didn't step out and do more work on his own. Yes, its different and idiosyncratic, but you can say that about most of the best artists. Some of the characters in the splash panel remind me of Gene Ha ( also an artist not to everybody's taste.)Panel 4 on page three looks like an Eisner swipe. Wally Wood would have approved. Art on 'Belle of the Badlands' is also idiosyncratic (or stylistic if you prefer) but it works. but mostly I would like to know who wrote the scripts (rough but energetic - someone was having fun and it shows) and green-lighted the title for publication. I love the energy of the book, its much more fun than the average western. In these days of lionizing strong female characters, I'm surprised the book is not better known.
Cheers!

I may have been a bit too hard on Dick Rockwell (his signature is in the splash panel at far left) , who did have a substantial career.  His art overall isn't bad (and there are definite Caniff influences as well) altho there are some awkward poses.  But for a Fox comic interior story, it's pretty good, I will admit.
