Bob Lubbers |
|
Artist on Camilla, Señorita Rio, Firehair and more
|
|
Bob Lubbers is best known for his "good girl art" from both the
comic strips and comic books.
 Bob
was born in 1922, and attended the Art Students League
before breaking into the comic book profession at the tender age
of 18. His first work was for Centaur, (then known as The Comics
Corporation of America) illustrating such features as The Arrow,
Reef Kincaid, Red Riley and The Liberty Scouts.
When Centaur folded in 1942, Bob moved over to T. T. Scott's
Fiction House line and found a home for the rest of the decade.
There he served as Art Director, doing many action features and
spectacular covers.
He drew Camilla in Jungle Comics, Señorita Rio in
Fight Comics,
Captain Wings in Wings, as well as Space Rangers,
Rip Carson,
Flint Baker, Captain Terry Thunder, and a long stint on
Rangers
Comics' frontier girl, Firehair.
In 1950, Bob began a four-year run on the Tarzan comic strip.
Bob did a lot of work in newspaper strips including
The Saint,
Big Ben Bolt (ghosted) and Rusty Riley (ghosted). He did two
strips of his own creation, Long Sam (1954-58) and Robin Malone.
Long Sam was written by Al Capp and featured the exploits of a
tall and gorgeous mountain gal. He began working on Lil' Abner
in
1970, and later did a stint on Secret Agent X-9.
He did some work at DC Comics on The Vigilante. Bob
also did
some Westerns at Pines (Standard / Nedor) comics on into the
1950's. His work also popped up at Gleason, Timely /
Marvel, St.
John and King Comics, and even stories in The Twilight Zone
comic book for Western in the 1960's.
Bob is still going strong today, producing a
prodigious amount of
artwork for collectors and fans that is absolutely the best work
of his career. If you are interested in commissioned artwork, or

Jim Mooney |
|
Artist on Camilla, Spider-Man, Batman, Superboy and more
|
 |
Veteran comic book artist Jim Mooney has
penciled and inked
thousands of pages of comic book art and even written his fair
share. His career as a comic book artist began in 1940, in the
Golden-Age of comics and he continues to work today as inker on
Claypool Comics' Elvira and recently penciled and inked a retro
Lady Supreme story for Awesome Entertainment. In between he
worked on many of DC and Marvel's top-selling characters
including Spiderman, Batman, Superboy and dozens of others.
 Making the rounds of the early publishers,
Jim went from Ace to
Timely Comics where he met Stan Lee for the first time. Here he
did his first funny animal work. As a freelancer, there wasn't a
great deal of work for him at Timely, so he supplemented his
income by working in the bullpen at Fiction House for eight or
nine months where he worked on Suicide Smith and Camilla.
After working for many of the early Golden-Age comic book
publishers (Fox Features, Ace Comics, Quality Comics,
Timely
Comics, Fiction House and the famous Eisner-Iger Shop).
Jim
Mooney had found a professional home at DC Comics where he
stayed for the next 22 years (1946-68) until DC changed their
style and no longer had work for him. Not missing a beat, he
then began work on Marvel's Spiderman. Jim Mooney remains one of
only a handful of comic book artists whose career has spanned
the entire history of the American comic book from the early
Golden-Age to the present.
Jim Mooney is interviewed in
Men Of Mystery # 29.
