Look Here, Read: “Temptress and Trouble-maker,” with art by Ric Estrada

RCLeave a comment

From Teen-Age Romances #28 (December 1952), here’s “Temptress and Trouble-maker,” with pencils and inks both by Cuban-American cartoonist Ric Estrada (26 February 1928 – 01 May 2009); the earliest “signed” pencilling credit for Estrada at the Grand Comics Database is from 1952, so his work on “Temptress and Trouble-maker” is obviously from very early in his career, and yet, Estrada already displays a bold, confident style that is fully formed and extremely attractive:

Estrada was only 24 years old when “Temptress and Trouble-maker” was published.

From Big Apple Comix (September 1975), here’s “New York City: The Future,” a prescient one-page story by Paul Kirchner, whose excellent surrealist comic strip, “The Bus,” was a regular feature in Heavy Metal, back in the day:

I bought a hardcover collection of “The Bus” from PictureBox back in March 2012, and it appears that there are still copies available for sale. If you’re at all interested, be sure to order while you can! Apparently, only 150 copies of the collection were printed in English.

The Bus collection is widely available in French, however. For a slide show in French, click here.

From Teen-Age Brides #2 (October 1953), here’s “I Married for Fun,” with art by Bill Draut, whose stylistically restrained, thoughtfully staged contributions to Romance comics in the early 1950s have aged far more gracefully than many other works of the period:
