I've herded those kittens i call a mind back towards posting, so let us see if TPTB will play along. I'm going to split today's post into two, just to lighten the image load. Working with no hard drive here - OS and files all on USB sticks. Combine that with the hate i've been getting from Blogger lately, and you might realize that i'm rambling mostly from fear-stalling the image uploads.
So, let's push on - and back to visit Munson Paddock once again. This time his artwork appears under the name of Joe E. Martin, but it's Munson. What first drew my eye to Smoke Carter is prominently displayed in the first splash panel. Leaning heavily into fluid brush strokes and stark contrasts, he adopted what could most appropriately be termed a 'smokey' style for the strip...
Smoke Carter only appeared in the first six issues of Speed Comics. Since there's just a half dozen half-dozen page tales, we'll run them all. But, as noted above, i'm splitting it into two batches to alleviate postings struggles.
Here are the next two stories:
Next Time:
Crime With A Crawl
Death Races The Fire Fiend
and
Flames Lick The Stamp That Seals His Doom
Gotta love that 3rd title.
