I love the crook’s line: “Ha – a customer!”

You like that “cloud of thought” in the first panel?

I can’t quite explain why the third-string semi-pro quality of these comics is so appealing to me. Maybe it’s the humanity of it. It’s more than halfway between a clunky amateur job and a respectable pro story. Not quite there yet…but he’s reaching for that goal!

Check out the ASIFA-Hollywood Animation Archive about this 24-page "how-to-draw" book by animation pioneer William C. Nolan.

Perfume ads from Avon Comics

The text on these ads is a scream…

Not quite sure why this ad

Those guys sure knew how to write lurid, sensational and salacious ad copy in those days.
Gimme that order form…I wanna try them all!

Here’s the whole enchilada…
all on one eye-punishing page:

I’m totally fascinated by sub-par filler comics from the forties. fifties and sixties. Here’s a little boxing epic called, “The Manager” by Rudy Cristiano From Charlton Comics Li’l Genius July 1955

It’s so un-slick, I just like the wonkiness of it. Huh?
