Blissful Birthday to Senior Stripper Larry Lieber
Blissful ninetieth Birthday to comedian ebook and cartoon cartoonist Larry Lieber!
It was the latter half of the Sixties after I grew to become infatuated with Marvel Comics, among the many favorites was Larry’s Rawhide Child. (I nonetheless retain an affection for western comics.) Inside a number of years I gathered fairly a number of of the early Marvels I had missed together with a bunch of Larry’s earlier superhero work.
The Rawhide Child grew to become Larry’s bread and butter throughout Marvel’s glory years,
although he would unexpectedly present up elsewhere every now and then.
Larry labored on the Rawhide Child comedian ebook for about eight years earlier than they minimize his pages and ultimately turned it right into a reprint ebook. As my tastes modified and superheroes took a again seat to different genres, Larry’s western remained on my must-buy record for a lot of that period.
When the identify Larry Lieber comes up it brings with it a nostalgic wave of excellent instances.
I’d find out about Larry’s work within the suspense/thriller/sci-fi comics of the pre-Marvel Age after they began reprinting these tales, and whereas he was by no means a *Large Identify* artist I used to be already a fan and loved his cartooning. Not like Larry I used to be taken with these tales the place Larry’s brother, editor Stan Lee, partnered him with Matt Fox as inker.
Then Larry hit what his technology thought of the large time – Comedian Strips!
Writing and drawing The Unbelievable Hulk. After which getting the thankless job of following John Romita on The Wonderful Spider-Man strip. He stayed with it for many years.
This has was a private memory so for extra biographical info I’ll level all to Lambiek and Wikipedia.
… Whereas I simply want Larry a really joyful birthday and thank him for the nice instances.
