For sure he would have worked with him, because Gaines had Wheelan revive his <i>Minute Movies</i> strip for <i>Flash Comics</i> #1 through 59. At the time Wheelan drew Comics McCormick he was already close to 60, and I wonder how kids in 1947 related to his old-fashioned artwork. Max Gaines liked it, and he was the guy with the checkbook. Where I see some similarities in Shelly Mayer's early work, it's mostly that both he and Wheelan looked like they really had fun drawing, and it comes through in their artwork.Pappyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01977289662431694607noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31723906.post-1634269210093211022009-11-16T03:48:44.820-08:002009-11-16T03:48:44.820-08:00I first discovered Wheelan when he turned up in ba...I first discovered Wheelan when he turned up in back-ups of a couple of those facsimile DC Treasuries of the seventies. The art is sort of a combination of Harold Gray and Segar and seems quite the influence on Sheldon Mayer.Bookstevehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09797445163866512849noreply@blogger.com
