A quick question.
We're about to reprint this Tom & Jerry story from T&J #69 soon.
And we'd like to give the artist credit for his work.
Anyone (Alberto?) who knows who did the artwork for this "Adventures of Tom" story?

I posted your request over at my blog. Good luck!
ReplyDeleteIt could be Harvey Eisenberg per this John K post:

Kevin: Eisenberg had a more dynamic style, so it gotta be another artist. First I was thinking Roger Armstrong, but it's probably not?
ReplyDelete(For some samples of Eisenberg's work take a look at these posts: (http://sekvenskonst.blogspot.se/search?q=Eisenberg )
Hello Joakim and everybody!
ReplyDeleteThe artist is Cecil Surry - - one of my favorites from the Dell era, actually.
He didn't do that much for comics (mainly Barney Bear, Fuzzy & Wuzzy stories), as he was primarily an animator. Following is his animation credits list, for those who may be concerned.
All the very best,
Alberto

ReplyDeleteNice opening panel!
ReplyDeleteHello, Joakim!
ReplyDeleteOnly now I see this...
Incidentally... It's possible that the storyman be John Stanley, who wrote many (if not all) the stories starring Tom with occasional funny animal partners, without Jerry and Tuffy.
Ciao!
