Couldn't find an old thread where I was asking about a certain artist back in the '70s whom grabbed my attention because of a certain line quality and background work.
Buddy had a stroke and ended up in a therapy center to assist in his recovery where I was able to get a hold of him and ask the same question
which he replied without question remembering my comments from decades past and gave me the rundown on Charlton's Pete Moriso (PAM) who had also been around during the pre-silver age.
This buddy had always thought about trying his hand at entering the comic field being a collector himself and finally got the proper paper and submitted a story to Charlton Bullseye involving a redo of some old GoldenAge characters
and it got accepted and had plans of being published when they went belly up right in the middle of the deal and that was the end of the story.
He specifically mentioned certain titles that PAM was involved with so now I get to blow off the dust and dig into my archives.
See you in a few weeks, if not please send help. Include food, water, and a miner's headlamp.

Morisi was the sort of guy they used to write comics ABOUT, too. I mean, he was a cop who moonlighted under a pseudonym because the department might not approve of his methods. Sure, he was drawing comics and not beating up bank robbers, but still...
(He also created Peter Cannon by adapting not just one, but two fairly popular Golden Agers (Daredevil and Amazing Man), for an audience that--by and large--probably had never heard of either source. Clever, considering that Biro wouldn't give him the Daredevil rights.)
I just noticed this, by the way, if anybody has need of it:

well hey, thanks for posting that. Will make chasing down the titles a bit easier.
Now to go see what all it was about and if they still have that same grab or not.
Cheers
