Looking Over Roy Crane’s Shoulder While He Draws a “Wash Tubbs” Strip
Very cool 1938 newspaper article (via Google News archives) on my favorite cartoonist, Roy Crane. Roy Crane pretty much invented the adventure comic strip, and his lively drawings and storytelling were the main influence on cartoonists such as Harvey Kurtzman, Charles Schulz, Wally Wood and John Severin.
from Sarasota Herald-Tribune - Nov 25, 1938
If you’ve never seen all the scanned newspapers in the Google News archives, click on one of the images above and start exploring! I can’t even describe all the treasures you can find ^_^ Have fun!
