In 1953, at 23, he was already in the industry at another syndicate, so his moonlighting on this isn't out of the question.Martin OHearnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14756078371130519063noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1969619411845920903.post-13791611588247358572021-04-17T02:12:19.979-04:002021-04-17T02:12:19.979-04:00I have been looking for the artist on The Arrow...I have been looking for the artist on The Arrow's Bruce Gentry for a long time. The Arrow was a shortlived prepepared tabloid newspaper section, filled with 'new' comic strips, some bought abroad, some hastily slapped together (apparently by Walter Gibson) and some based on old material (like Debbie Dean, now by Fred Bell). There are Bruce Gentry pages as well, not by Ray Bailey. The reason for that is probably that the character had gotten famous for the B-movies that were done at the end of Bailey's run. The not incompatent artist here signs Scap and I have always wondered who he was. Is it a coincidence that his signing Scap is so similar to the Scar here?
