Tony DiPreta: Joe Palooka original art (1966).

From Sports llustrated, November 14, 1966:

POW! BAM! SOCK! TCH! TCH!

As readers of the comics are well aware, Joe Palooka, the other heavyweight champion of the world, is finally defending his title after 10 years of antiquing in Norwalk, Conn. with his wife (SI, April 19, 1965). The challenger: King Abbso of Jyrobia, who seems to be a composite of the Shah of Iran and Pete Rademacher. The King already has beaten Joe in handball 21-14, 21-19, 21-12, 21-17, in tennis 6-2, 6-4, 4-6, 7-5 and in golf—Joe shot a 79 to Abbso's 71. Tch! Tch!

Although an amateur, the King has had a fight with Billy Kaprone, Joe's last opponent, and knocked him out—and Kaprone went 15 with Palooka! What's more—more than Joe's title is at stake. As Abbso has explained: "Jyrobia has remained neutral in the struggle between your country and Communism! However…if you accept my challenge…and win…I shall have gained a new respect for Americans! And Jyrobia and the United States will be friends!" Says President Johnson: "Tell Joe Palooka to fight him…and to win!"

Says Tony DiPreta, who draws the strip: "I feel like I'm really drawing Joe Palooka, not a guy wandering around not knowing what his place in the comics is. I'm doing Nov. 25 now, and they're in the fifth round. Joe's taking a beating and he hasn't been hurting the King at all. Abbso has a wicked left hook. From watching Joe's movies, the King has learned that when Joe gets set to throw his left hook, he drops his right—the opposite of what Schmeling saw with Louis. Joe doesn't know how come he's being clobbered. Joe's down! He's up at eight!…"

Some years ago the McNaught Syndicate, which edits and distributes the strip, forbade Joe to box because the sport was in such disrepute. DiPreta was asked if the Abbso fight was a sign of a new beatitude in boxing. "No," he said, "we got a new editor. The old one was a woman."

In this animation Mr. Bang makes a bet that the Toonerville Trolley can't get to the main train line on time. The bet is accepted without the knowledge of an upcoming tornado. Mr. Bang's wife saves the trolley and her husband.

Toonerville Folks, also known as The Toonerville Trolley That Meets All the Trains, was a well-known comic strip by Fontaine Fox that appeared in newspapers from 1908 until 1955. Its debut was in 1908 within the pages of the Chicago Post, and by 1913, it had reached a national audience through the Wheeler Syndicate. Starting in the 1930s, it was made available to the public by the McNaught Syndicate.

In an article for The Saturday Evening Post, titled "A Queer Way to Make a Living" (February 11, 1928, page six), Fox spoke about the origins of his cartoon series:

The concept for the Toonerville Trolley emerged after a significant period of contemplation, during a trip to Westchester County with my wife. We had traveled from New York City to see cartoonist Charlie Voight in the Pelhams. While at the station, we encountered a dilapidated streetcar, operated by a nostalgic old man sporting an Airedale beard. He exhibited as much diligence in his work as one might anticipate from Captain Hartley while navigating the Leviathan into port.

Vin Sullivan

Back in my first post about Detective Comics #27, and later when talking about Sheldon Moldoff, I mentioned Vincent Sullivan who was an editor for DC and also helped found it. He's mostly known for greenlighting Superman, but he also helped with the creation of Batman when he turned to Bob Kane. But that getting ahead of ourselves...

Sullivan was an artist with no formal training, just started drawing when he was a kid, who has stated that he had no real influence. One of the earliest thing he recalled drawing was a Christmas Wreath in his elementary prep school in Brooklyn. Once out of schooling he started looking for work as a cartoonist trying to sell strips and started at the NY Daily news as a freelance sport cartoonist after the founder, Captain Patterson, saw some of his work.

Eventually Vin met Major Malcolm Wheeler-Nicholson, though he doesn't recall how, and then eventually Whitney Ellsworth. With those two they would found National Allied Publications, aka DC Comics and took care of nearly everything but financing, that was Nicholsons job; however, in 2-3 years he would be bought out by Harry Donenfeld. He kept around with Donenfeld and Jack Liebowitz, "they had the distribution, they had a little bit of cash", doing some labor.

While he worked at DC, Vin Sullivan would be responsible for picking up Superman by Jerry Siegel and Joe Shuster and later was the one who tasked Bob Kane to make a hero to become just as famous, which became Batman. Siegel and Shuster had a few previous features that would feature in Action Comics, which is how Sullivan met them, and when they showed him Superman he "thought it was a novel idea" and gave them two or three issues to see how it would go, which be very well to have the Man of Steel appear in every other cover for the series.

After 3 or 4 years, Ellsworth would briefly leave after getting married, leaving Sullivan. Things got a bit much and Sullivan left, Ellsworth would return as the company needed someone "who knew the business". Vin Sullivan would then create Magazine Enterprises in about the 40s just before the war; he was approached by by Charlie McAdam, head of the McNaught Syndicate, who with his friend Frank Markey wanted to get into comics. It would eventually close in the late 1950s possibly due to the building negativity toward comics. Sullivan would start up a food company, Popeye Peanut Butter, which would soon fold.

And interesting little fact: when it came to publishing in other countries, Sullivan would make the deals, but he couldn't get the money out of the countries and it would accumulate and he we go over to the countries and have to use the accumulated money there.

A publicação integral de Johnny Comet, restaurada por Manuel Caldas.

Uma das novidades de abril é Johnny Comet, banda desenhada com desenhos de Frank Frazetta e argumento de Earl Baldwin – apesar do editor utilizar o nome de Peter DePaolo, o piloto que venceu as 500 Milhas de Indianápolis de 1925, como argumentista. Tal razão devia-se ao protagonista ser um piloto de corridas num circuito…
