He did a Western for Skywald, the short-lived <i>Bravados</i>.<br /><br />If I can raise consciousness of early comic veterans like Syd Shores, get people interested in their work, then that's a bonus. Thanks for the positive comments, guys.<br /><br />Check out some other Shores work I've posted, including <a href="http://pappysgoldenage.blogspot.com/2008/03/number-272-distant-shores-syd-shores.html" rel="nofollow">a werewolf story</a>, and some more black and white, this time reprints of <a href="http://pappysgoldenage.blogspot.com/2008/11/number-412-ii-from-wwii-second-bananas.html" rel="nofollow">some Golden Age Timely</a>.Pappyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01977289662431694607noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31723906.post-59320582292563572892009-06-24T11:18:55.373-07:002009-06-24T11:18:55.373-07:00Shores work is awesome.

I have the entire run of Marvels 1970's Red Wolf series, most of which is by Shores.Chuck Wellshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04529750105224374839noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31723906.post-89312819473749358582009-06-24T08:44:52.813-07:002009-06-24T08:44:52.813-07:00Syd Shores?!!!

I am first and foremost interested in the craft of these stories (art, writing, coloring, all of it) and you keep bringing to light work by Stallman(!), Greene, Jack Bradbury, and now the amazing Syd Shores; all largely unsung masters of their craft.<br /><br />Syd was among the two best inkers to work over Jack (Everett being the other) during the mid to late 60's at Marvel, and not surprisingly, a talented and engaging artist in his own right. When you go and look at the "Red Wolf" work he did, and some of the little short horror stories for Marvel in the early 70's, you really see Syd at his best as both penciler and inker. The great thing about THIS story is that it's from the same period, but in black and white and his line is beautifully un-obscured by color!!<br /><br />Thanks, Pap!Tamfoshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08007519945208611127noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31723906.post-89857848247160897042009-06-24T06:16:13.593-07:002009-06-24T06:16:13.593-07:00Magnificent.
