His rate at Orbit has been $10 a page, but as of "Mockery of Love" it's raised to $12.50, his highest outside of promotional comics. He made $1008 on scripts this month; that would be $9800 in 2013 dollars..
In later months in these sales records he notes the love story pages he does for his wife Dorothy as plots. The plots are paid the same page rate as scripts for Orbit.
UPDATE: darkmark found the publication data for "Monte Hale Meets Kid Buzzard."

MONTE HALE #44 had a villain named the Buzzard, but it was dated January 1950 and would thus be too early. Maybe he appeared a second time, or a son called Kid Buzzard made an appearance later.
ReplyDeleteSince the April '51 issue of Monte Hale Western, #59, has been indexed on the GCD, I'm hoping scans will turn up eventually at the Digital Comic Museum; none of the story titles by themselves suggest Kid Buzzard.
ReplyDelete"Monte Hale Meets Kid Buzzard" is from WESTERN HERO #99.
ReplyDeleteTerrific! I've updated the post.
