Sadly, we have no record of who is writing this tale. The C. Collodi credit that appeared in the first chapter is the original author of Pinocchio. Who adapted this tale...? Perhaps someday time traveling art aficionados will uncover such information, but we must remain ignorant for now.
Happily, the tale continues, and that we can follow along with...
Next - the 13 page final chapter - Adventures In Boobie Land!
page art by Ellis Chambers for World's Greatest Stories #2 (1949)
Very nice-looking artwork but man Chambers sure liked drawing castles, huh? I love his works but I am really wondering, he sure liked drawing castles. Also the backgrounds have a nice and trippy style in them, a hidden gem.
ReplyDeleteThat last page above is a fine example of those backgrounds. I do dig them a lot. In a way, they remind me of George Herriman's surreal backgrounds for Krazy Kat. Both rather literally 'mark their turf'.
ReplyDeleteCastles and all, Chambers could do distinctive backgrounds and scenery. Usually while simple they have his distinctive style that's great for his funny animals, makes his comics their own world kind of like Herriman's.
