Fascinating article. Maurice del Bourgo was all over the place in Golden Age comics

I recently happened upon this bio of Warren Kremer in (of all places) The Guardian. I had no idea Kremer was so deeply involved in shaping Harvey's kid's comic line, including creating or developing the likes of Richie Rich, Hot Stuff, and Stumbo the Giant.

He also drew the first cover to feature Tiny, from Harvey Comics, who was probably the most positively published black character in comic books in the late 1950s and early 1960s:

?Cardwell? was thought to have been a fake name used in Prize Comics, but it turns out the name belongs to pulp and pin-up illustrator Cardwell Higgins.

Here is an important artist I've never heard of. Yet over the years I saw a fair amount of his pinup work. I'm not crazy about his 'girlie' art. His women's faces are a bit too stylized for me ("stylized" being a euphemistic way of saying "weird-looking"). There's no denying Higgins' ability and versatility. To think he designed the "Silver Fleet" airline logo! As a boy I found that logo as awesome as the all-silver planes that bore them. Higgins had a long, significant career but was one of those classic-era illustrators who fell through the historical cracks. Thanks for bringing him to light.

I believe there is an error in this article. Like Mrs. Marion Campbell, Henry Francis Campbell also studied at George Washington University, located @ 2130 H Street Northwest, Washington, D.C. Georgetown University is a separate and distinct institution of higher learning.

[mopee167]

Oops, I made a mistake in my previous post. That should read Harry Francis Campbell and not Henry.

HARRY CAMPBELL was born 11 April 1897, and died September 1977.

Yeah, in Washington D.C., theres a George Washington University and Georgetown University, but not a *Georgetown Washington University.*

Speaking of which, it seems that instead of Campbell simply having been educated there, he went as far as being an instructor in advertising there too.

But nice that you got that information too. How?d you narrow it down anyway?

The Saga of Joshua Cann

Now Joshua Cann was a bumboat man,
And a bum, bumboat had he,
For a Shipping Board boat that would barely float
Carried him over the sea.

He had bought this boat that would barely float
From our kind Shipping Board "as is."
it was full of squeaks and groans and creaks,
This bum, bumboat of his.

Josh was first to see in the rare whiffle tree,
The chance for profits large,
So to far-off Aloes, where the whiffle tree grows.
He guided his leaky barge.

And with each trip in his spavined ship
His earnings grew and grew.
Till at last he declared, "By Gosh, I be squared
With the bank and the coal yard and crew."

Now Ezra Spun was a Congressman,
And a powerful one was he.
Josh sent a letter to Ezra Kretter,
Of Whoosisville by the sea.

"Dear Ezra," it read, "start using your head,
For Whoosisville's shipping is large.
Between me and you we've got a canoe
And a sailboat and rowboat and barge!"

"Now your term will be short, if we don't get a port
For schooners and liners and such.
It would give jobs by dozens to uncles and cousins
Who never amounted to much."

So the harbor was cleared and huge docks appeared
For the sailboat and rowboat and scow.
Said Congress, "We're slipping, we've got to have shipping
To fill up these docks we have now."

So the Government bought some new ships and sought
To fill up the handsome new docks.
But isn't it funny that taxpayer's money
Should throw old Josh Cann on the rocks.

For the new ships are pretty, the captains are witty,
And the first mates are handsome and brave,
And these ships can move just as much as they choose,
While the taxpayers grumble and rave.

Old Joshua Cann is a bumboat man.
And his boat gets bummer each day.
While it waits in the dock for the auction block
That isn't so far away.

He couldn't compete with a government fleet
That runs their ships for fun.
Thus old Josh Cann, the bumboat man,
Was wrecked by Congressman Ezra Spun.

?H. F. Campbell.

A. S. Van Eerde (aka Andel Synco van Eerde), who was born in southern Africa in 1897 and died in New York in 1979. He was a commercial artist that designed advertisements for clients. He also sold his own fine art and was a writer/illustrator that did covers and interiors for magazines like "American Legion Weekly", and comic books. He had a short-lived comic strip called "2038 AD: An Excursion to Mars", that ran only four installments in "Amazing Mystery Funnies" comic book series published by Centaur between 1938-1940. -

Tom Van Buren of L. B. Cole Studio, whom I couldn?t find too much about aside from him being a courtroom artist who had an association with Dallas, Texas, was a student of Jerry Bywaters, and possibly had a son named Vincent Van Buren, who was born around 1959:
