Saturday i made reference to Stanley & Edwin, but i was really talking about Buck -
That may not make a lot of sense right up front, but don't worry - it doesn't get any better with a close view.
But maybe the credits on this story will help just a tad...
Stan Lee and Ed Win - Did ol' Smilin' Stan convince somebody else to split their name the way he did? Or did he follow Edwin's example?
Nope, that ain't it.
Ed Win took a different route to get to his name. He's not Edwin, he's Ed Winiarski. So it's all just a bit of damnfoolery filling my head once again.
Somehow Buck seems good for damnfoolery, doesn't he?
We don't know who originally wrote or drew the comic, But Winiarski came onboard with the third issue (#6) and rapidly became the primary artist. Stanley hopped on and started writing most of the title with issue #10. The next issue was the final, as Buck drove off a cliff and was never seen again.
Though Stan did manage to work Iron Man into it before they were through -
Yeah, okay. Maybe not quite Iron Man.
And we didn't even get to Meathead Wiggins. I guess we may have to come back here later. But for now, here are the rest of the covers for It's A Duck's Life -

That was super, duck.
ReplyDeleteWell, technically - no.
DeleteSuper Duck and Space Mouse (Mice?) are hanging out in the wings, waiting for their curtain calls.
Huh? SD was introduced seven years before IADL was published. Even the Uwanna and Fauntleroy clones are present.

Sorry - my context was unclear.
DeleteI meant that i've got a pile of SD and SM sitting in the blog sort for upcoming posts. So, local timeline, not universal shared timeline.
My bad, then.
DeleteI got some chuckles out of today's selections, their unoriginality notwithstanding.
No bad involved, merely a passing communications glitch.
DeleteI know just what you mean. I almost added some captions with updated 'modern' punchlines to some of the jokes.
And i don't think they were all that original back when they were published, either.
Still enjoyed 'em.
