Gil Turner in Coo Coo Comics

Gil Turner is best know for his work with Dell in the 1950s doing Disney characters. Here we see some earlier work from the 1940s for Coo Coo Comics. Judging from this, he pretty much had his game down before his move to Dell. This is from Coo Coo Comics, No. 36, 1947.

Dan Gordon and Ray Thomson (Double Bubble Ad!)

A quick, two-pager today from Golden Age kids' comics master, Dan Gordon. And also let's love a Double Bubble ad with art work by Ray Thompson. I love Thompson's round, bouncy work - so much like like chewing gum bubbles! I'd love to see a collection of his ad work for Fleer. This is all from Ha Ha Comics no. 91, August-September, 1953.

Richie Rich and Little Lotta!

I love Richie Rich covers. They always feature Richie in some comic and extravagant display of his wealth: using rolled up logs of money for firewood, putting round gems around on a golf course; or (as here) diving into a pool filled with money. Somehow, because it was Richie, these displays seemed joyous but never ostentatious. The artwork for the cover is Warren Kremer's handiwork. The following stories were done (art) by Ernie Colón (Richie Rich) and Sid Couchey (Little Lotta). Oh, and not for nothing, this is the first Little Lotta story to appear on this blog. A terrible omission, one happily rectified here. This is from Richie Rich #75, November, 1968.
