But, enough poetry. Let's kick it off with a trio of tales from from the '50s. The authors of all three tales are unknown today. Lucky for us, Lou signed his work for posterity. First up She Stalks At Sundown -
From quite early in the run of House Of Secrets, we've got The Man Who Couldn't Stop Growing -
Finally, for this post, a bit of the fantastic in Realm Of Lost Faces -
Oh, yeah - definitely getting into Lou.
Next time, just when least expected.... Jungle Boy Of Jupiter!
art by Lou Cameron from Web Of Mystery #22, House Of Secrets #11, and Web Of Mystery #24 (1954, 1958)
I got my copy of the new Lou Cameron collection in the mail from IDW the other day so it's now out or due this week in shops. That "Man Who Couldn't Stop Growing" was the first time I ever noticed his art outside Classics Illustrated. I posted it on one of my blogs a few years back, too.
ReplyDeleteThanks again for the tip.
DeleteGood choice. That story caught my attention many moons ago, but it's the only one of the trio that isn't signed. All i knew was that it wasn't Jack Kirby, who did the cover based on the tale. That was back before the miracle of internet answers.
Now i know.
