When
DC summarily let
go Arnold Drake
with
The Adventures of Jerry
Lewis #107, the book continued
without writers' credits. One of the new writers was the original
writer.
Howie
Post drew the first four issues of
The
Adventures of
Dean Martin and Jerry Lewis. The
difference in writing style as of #5 leads me to say that long-time
writer Cal
Howard didn't come aboard until artist Owen Fitzgerald did.
Although Post's writing style evolves by the late Sixties, when he has
credits like
Anthro
to compare with, I believe I see enough points in #1-4 to say he wrote
as well as drew.
Nelson Bridwell acknowledged writing the Flash story.
The writer (whom I can't put a name to) who wrote "Jerry-Flavored Ice
Cream" wrote pretty much the rest of the run, to #124, the final issue.
Others known to have written the feature in these
years are Sergio Aragonés and Marv Wolfman (and it's a good
bet they
only
plotted), and Alan Riefe, who otherwise has three DC mystery stories filling out his
comics résumé.
Henry Boltinoff (not his brother Murray, the title's editor) wrote most
of the 1- and 2-pagers. Possibly he wrote all, but the partial index is
of the stories I find definitely in his
style. UPDATE: I added the remaining two one-pagers, ones where I didn't think I could pin down Boltinoff's style before. Flipping through
World's Finest 109, I found that "A Smashing Good Time" here reuses the plot of the Ollie page there. I'll concede that Boltinoff wrote the lifeguard story for Jerry as well; it's not
not in Boltinoff's style.
Whether Bob Oksner inked himself at this point, or an uncredited Tex
Blaisdell and others worked on particular issues, is a question I'll
leave to the ages.
