It looks like Frazetta did some penciling. Giunta was OK (another of those comic book journeymen I have written of before), but no one could match Frazetta. <br /><br />Booksteve, I did some research on Bernard Baily and you're right, he did have a shop to produce comics. He's the one who produced the Mister Mystery horror comics of the early '50s, for instance. I don't know if he personally did any work in Tally-Ho.<br /><br />I think during this era, as the war was winding down and super heroes were losing their appeal, that comic book publishers were throwing anything at the wall to see if it'd stick. It seems that '45 and '46 were a couple of years of oddball comics, and I'll look around for more examples.Pappyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01977289662431694607noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31723906.post-85076566489406001722009-07-28T06:26:21.179-07:002009-07-28T06:26:21.179-07:00I dunno, there's just something about a snowma...I dunno, there's just something about a snowman...when I was a little kid, five or so, Dad took me to a grocery store and there was a guy walking around in a snowman costume, maybe Frosty. He snuck up on me and poked me on the shoulder. When I turned around it was to a grinning apparition with a top hat and "coal" for a mouth. <br /><br />To this day, brrrr. Snowmen creep me.Postinohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05853607848670921106noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31723906.post-88092285673394990522009-07-27T18:36:51.902-07:002009-07-27T18:36:51.902-07:00Eh?

Thanks, Pap! But you have to wonder, if those evil guys on Desolation Island were so evil, why didn't they just cut off "Fang's" head? Seem like a bunch of punks to me.Tamfoshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08007519945208611127noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31723906.post-6268913233932414292009-07-27T08:45:53.691-07:002009-07-27T08:45:53.691-07:00Wow, I really liked this one... kind of the foreru...Wow, I really liked this one... kind of the forerunner to Archer Prewitt's Sof' Boy.Mr. Karswellhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15889717828895556186noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31723906.post-63118588971321040252009-07-27T06:36:48.021-07:002009-07-27T06:36:48.021-07:00I had read ofGiunta's influence on Frazetta bu...I had read ofGiunta's influence on Frazetta but never realized they actually worked together...especially on something as wacky as this!<br /><br />I seem to recall Baily was involved as a packager for comics, kind of like Funnies, Inc. so maybe he pieced this one together for the Swappers Quarterly (which sounds like some sort of newsletter??)Bookstevehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09797445163866512849noreply@blogger.com
