And finally, this. This is the first science fiction story illustrated by Jean-Claude Mézières, who would later go on to draw Valerian and Lauraline! Done in 1956.

This reminds me that Marvel almost published a Benny Hill magazine around 1980. The first pic has the original announcement (Walter Simonson & Bobby London!), the second pic briefly explains why the project was cancelled.

I've yet to see the movie, but the original novel from 1805 is amazing, one of the best things I've read in ages. www.penguinrandomhouse.com/books/328359...

I guess this new Carl Barks book will contain Junior Woodchucks stories that he wrote and laid out in the 1970's. Here's what some of these pages look like.

APPROVED COMICS #2 and the final collaboration between Jerry Siegel and Joe Shuster
Virtually everybody who is a fan of comic books knows the story of Jerry Siegel and Joe Shuster, the young creators who came up with a character that became world-famous and changed the destiny of the entire industry, Superman, but who largely didn't get to profit from their own innovation. Most recountings of their story depict the team of Siegel and Shuster as two dyed-in-the-wool old friends working together, which isn't entirely accurate. The truth is that their was a partnership of convenience, and early on Jerry Siegel had attempted to draft in other more established artistic hands to illustrate what he saw as his own brainchild, Superman.

I'm sorry to hear that artist Ron Tiner has passed away. We collaborated on a short series I wrote for Oink! back in 1988 so I've written a piece about him on my blog today.
