It's Edward Everett Kinstler, the artist on all the other issues of Silvertip. But the pencils by Meskin look so unlike those by Joe Kubert, who ghosted those others, that everyone (myself included) was led astray. I'm going to do a follow-up post to put this before fandom.Martin OHearnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14756078371130519063noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1969619411845920903.post-65926246423575066852022-03-03T12:00:37.548-05:002022-03-03T12:00:37.548-05:00On this page the first panel, and the woman's ...On this page the first panel, and the woman's face in the second, might as well be Meskin solo--I hardly even see Robinson's work there, let alone some different ghost penciller's. Panel three, as a long shot, doesn't let the inking distract from Meskin's layout, whereas on the closeups on men's faces in other panels, admittedly it does.<br /><br />To rule out the bare possibility that this is Robinson penciling like Meskin, I just rechecked a story signed by Robinson alone--"Danger in the City" in Atlas's AMAZING DETECTIVE CASES 6 (May/51) and see nothing Meskin-like there at all. Robinson's two BORIS KARLOFF in the early 60s likewise show no Meskin influence.Martin OHearnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14756078371130519063noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1969619411845920903.post-70922279602962634232022-03-02T01:38:44.081-05:002022-03-02T01:38:44.081-05:00Some discussion has evolved in the Mort Meskin App...Some discussion has evolved in the Mort Meskin Appreciation Facebook group about this attribution. Many of the Meskin experts (like Steve Brower and Harry Mendrick) do not see Meskin's hand in there. I would love to see an explenation of your thinking in coming to this conclusion and maybe even pointing out particular panels or details.Ger Apeldoornhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03633862833036214748noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1969619411845920903.post-69331838076188516092018-12-01T10:06:02.788-05:002018-12-01T10:06:02.788-05:00Yes, Robinson doesn't seem to be trying to hid...Yes, Robinson doesn't seem to be trying to hide the penciller here as much as he does on ghosts like Sekowsky.Martin OHearnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14756078371130519063noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1969619411845920903.post-82897674488861803822018-11-30T11:41:24.130-05:002018-11-30T11:41:24.130-05:00That's a surprise!
