Does this look awesome or what?
Dan
PS. The style looks very similar to this other artist's work ("Boixcar"):

You know, just on style, I'd have said maybe early Reed Crandall. But if you look at the lower right corner, I think you've got the top half of the signature. |
| Cacique Caribe | 15 Feb 2018 4:50 a.m. PST |
Wow, you are right! There's a partial signature there. Looks a bit like Crandall's signature here:
Dan
PS. I remember Crandall's work on some of the Blackhawk comics, though they were already old comic books when I was a kid. I'm not sure if he ever did any of Lady Blackhawk though. :)

Dan, I never saw that top B&W sketch before. When did Crandall do Barsoom? |

Here's a slightly better scan. Looks like R Cortelli

Don, thanks so much. I'll look him up, to see what else he might have done. It could also be something else like Cortiella:
Robert, apparently Crandall did several for ERB novels:

Here is a brief bio on Rafael Cortiella. He might be the one. link Jim |

That Lady Blackhawk art is by Brian Bolland. The Blachawk group art is by Rod Ramos, meant to emulate the cover of Military Comics #13, which was by Reed Crandall, for the cover of Blackhawk Archives #1. |

Excellent! I knew that the collective minds of my TMP brothers would have all the answers, but I had no idea it would be this quickly. Thanks everyone! Dan
PS. Apparently Futuro had a very short run:

That's a great link, colonel. |

Interesting that there's unpublished Reed Crandall art commissioned by Canaveral Press for Tarzan and Mars books. I could--just--see hiring Frazetta or St John instead, but not once I'd already paid for the Crandall. |

Reed Carndall did excellent work on Flash Gordon ….
he is one of my all time favs…

BTW Dan, I forgot to mention that Crandall didn't do Lady Blackhawk as he was off Blackhawk before she appeared. |
| Cacique Caribe | 15 Feb 2018 1:17 p.m. PST |
Shadow Thanks so much. I had a feeling that might be the case but, then again, I was completely ignorant of the entire background of Lady Blackhawk. Dan |

Dan, Really interesting thread. Thanks for starting it. Dave |
