He seems to use "Gyulp" for gulps instead of the more conventional "Ulp" or "Gulp", and he used the name "Revilo" at least twice (the name also shows up in a Hostess ad, which Mark Arnold tells me were all written by Kay).Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1969619411845920903.post-23578622189599067812017-07-18T11:31:11.777-04:002017-07-18T11:31:11.777-04:00Here I meant just recognizing them as Marvel and D...Here I meant just recognizing them as Marvel and DC writers. I never tried to work up Kunkel's and Kurzrok's styles after realizing the Harvey scripts were probably rewritten.<br /><br />I stopped investigating Wessler's style when I saw his records were around to do a better job of IDing his stories. Still, on his mystery stories he used variations of "Ngyaah" and "Nyaaaaaa"--although if I recall, Michael Fleisher used those too. Wessler used the name Harrow a number of times for his characters.<br />Martin OHearnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14756078371130519063noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1969619411845920903.post-48283001150088010202017-07-17T12:09:54.053-04:002017-07-17T12:09:54.053-04:00Can you tell me what quirks Kunkel, Kuzrok and Wes...Can you tell me what quirks Kunkel, Kuzrok and Wessler had in their scripts that help you recognize their style?

Ralph Newman wrote the Harvey characters after doing Terry-Toons for Marvel and St. John. Bill Kunkel and Al Kurzrok I recognize from other companies, and of course Carl Wessler.<br /><br />The problem is that when I tried IDing individual stories some time ago, I couldn't. I believe editor Sid Jacobson (also in the Who's Who as a writer) may have rewritten scripts the way Al Feldstein did at EC.Martin OHearnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14756078371130519063noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1969619411845920903.post-9021920223984338242017-06-08T09:15:18.857-04:002017-06-08T09:15:18.857-04:00This isn't related, but do you know who the wr...This isn't related, but do you know who the writers were on Harvey's kid comics (Casper, Richie, etc.)?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1969619411845920903.post-38714623901556202982017-06-03T18:48:31.724-04:002017-06-03T18:48:31.724-04:00As I was finishing up this post I recalled there w...As I was finishing up this post I recalled there were ads signed by Williams in early Fifties comic books that might have helped me work out his style, but I didn't know, among so many companies and titles, where to look for them anew.

Indeed, many of Williams credits came from me. The Pee Wee Harris strips dates are because I didnt have any earlier issues of Boy's Life, and my collection of Tippy Teen was spotty for sure. I like his work, but he got little notice from collectors. Indeed I have an unpublished Ricky, a Standard story from circa 1952, and it was sold to me as being Mike Roy. I,of course, knew Bill Williams when I saw it.SangorShophttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17650888644317638942noreply@blogger.com
