GRAHAM INGELS (??) and "The Rise and Fall of Blackie Archer" (1949)


Every source I've found on the 'net credits Graham Ingels for pencils and inks on this story, but I find that pretty hard to swallow. Yeah, that's him on page 1 panel 2, page 2 panel 1, and all of page 4, but the rrest of it looks more like Harry Harrison with both of his eyes closed. I haven't seen the finished product to compare it, so maybe it came out okay in the end. Maybe it was a rush job, and this silverprint (the printer's color guide) had to be prepared while most pages were still in the rough pencil stage. Maybe. If anyone has a copy of War Against Crime #8 or one of the reprints, I'd be mighty curious to see a photo of page 5, 6 or 7 to see what the finished product looked like. delewis1@hotmail.com!

GRAHAM INGELS goes up against "The Bandits of Eagle Rock" (1949)


From Gunfighter #12, back in '49, comes this pre-ghastly yarn featuring Mr. Gunfighter himself. Them thar scribblin's on the silverprint are color codes to guide the printer.

GRAHAM INGELS and "Auro, Lord of Jupiter" (1949)


The guy who eventually came to be known as "Ghastly" Graham Ingels did a variety of stories for Planet Comics, including some in this long-running series featuring Auro, Lord of Jupiter. Sadly, much of his fine line-work was muddied up by cheap printing on cheap paper, but when JonTheScanner, our hero of the week, posted Planet #61, July 1949, on ComicBookPlus, he kindly included these pages of original art, providing a glimpse of what it really looked like. Thanks, Jon!

GRAHAM INGELS and The Duke in "The Ledger That Told the Truth" (1953)


This swell little ditty appeared in the final issue of the Manhunt comic book, #14, back in 1953. Michael Barnes is the culprit who posted it to comicbookplus.
