When did that happen?
(Beyond the obvious "today")
Seems i skipped ahead again. So let's turn to our favorite Funnies maker for some Sunday Morning Funnies to help us get caught up. Of course, i mean Ellis Chambers. Here's a trio of his comic craziness, starting with one that turns things on their head (once again)...
It's purely my own speculation, but i suspect that strips done in this looser style may have been the result of some of those infamous late night heroin binges...

Let's wrap with another EC superhero strip. We've seen multiple Cosmo Cat stories, and Super Dog from Ellis. Here's his 'cousin', Superfox -
That one was a popular story, published 3 times between 1947 & 1958 in Daffy Tunes and two editions of Holiday Comics. (We went with Daffy Tunes for the original colouring)

Has Ellis Chambers work ever been compiled anywhere??
ReplyDeleteNot to my knowledge, no. That's one of the reasons why i feature his work so often. (Including another batch this morning)
DeleteThat said, my knowledge has big holes these days. It's been nearly two decades since the big guys convinced me to stop buying new comics, and over a decade since the last time i set foot in a comic shop. So, i've missed a lot of the recent happenings.
But i'm fairly certain he remains uncollected to date.
