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."

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.

Brian McNaught, termed “the godfather of gay diversity and sensitivity education” by the New York Occasions, has written a children’s e book describing “What’s gay?” in a straightforward, partaking rhyme—and he’s kindly creating it out there listed here totally free to Mombian readers.

“What’s ‘Gay’?” asked Mae, with illustrations by Dave Woodford, usually takes the titular character and her cousin Ray on a journey with a wide range of anthropomorphic woodland creatures who reveal that “gay” is “a way to enjoy.” Ray demonstrates on his gay uncles, who are going to marry. The animals also tell the young children that folks are born that way, and that, although a boy will most typically enjoy a girl, often boys enjoy boys, girls enjoy girls, and some folks enjoy boys and girls. Much more an extended poem than a plotted story, it also well advises, “It’s best not to talk to if another person is gay. Just allow them notify you in their own time and way.”

I have long supported the concept of additional LGBTQ children’s books that merely display folks who transpire to be LGBTQ, the place getting LGBTQ is not the concentration of the story, as I spelled out in a longer piece on queer-inclusive children’s books earlier this year—but as I also explained then, young children (and the older people who tutorial them) can even now advantage from thoughtfully written books that do straight address LGBTQ subject areas. McNaught’s e book is unquestionably in the latter camp.

This feels correct presented his long knowledge thoughtfully serving to reveal LGBTQ folks and our issues to audiences and readers throughout North America, Europe, and Asia. As a result of presentations to corporate and college audiences, seven books for older people, DVDs, radio and tv demonstrates, a syndicated column, and additional, McNaught has due to the fact 1974 acted as an advocate for the LGBTQ neighborhood and a translator and tutorial between it and the broader globe.

With “What’s ‘gay’?” Asked Mae, he provides his techniques to bear in offering dad and mom, teachers, and other people straightforward, age-correct text to reveal to younger young children what the phrase “gay” signifies and to see getting gay as section of the array of organic, typical human knowledge.
