Coming soon ...

More of this:

And while you are waiting, here's another Moonbeam:

Anyone who wants to take a stab at guessing who the Moonbeam artists above are?

PS. Just updated the previous post with a third (!) version of the final Robin Malone daily.

Karl-Erik said...: Well, my guess is that at least one of them is by Frank Frazetta... The first one must be fairly late since Moonbeam sports a rope around the waist instead of the proper belt she used in the earlier years.
Regarding Capp's other assistants I am not that familiar with theis styles to be able to distinguish them from one another. :-(; 12 April 2012 at 10:32
Joakim Gunnarsson said...: Yes, the second one is by Frank Frazetta (1954).

The first image is from 1963.; 12 April 2012 at 10:35

Joakim Gunnarsson said...: It sure is Lubbers, Shane!

Found a huge batch of Li'l Abner sunday proofs from the 40's, 50's and 60's. And among them a short Moonbeam story from 63.; 12 April 2012 at 12:52

Tarit said...: gotta be Frazetta. Love your blog, though I wish you'd post more frequently.; 13 April 2012 at 05:31
Joakim Gunnarsson said...: Mike and Tarit: Thanks, guys! :)

Watch out for the first Moonbeam sunday by Lubbers this weekend.; 13 April 2012 at 06:25
cartoonretro said...: Lubbers drew beautifully- but I like his work on Abner the best. Robin Malone & Long Sam were a bit of a disappointment for me. I do like the few Malone's where he drew in a more exaggerated, Capp-influenced style. I've been slowly scanning my '60's Abners, a few panels here:

Joakim Gunnarsson said...: A few hundred RM dailies from 1969-70, when he drew in the more cartoony style, is on it's way across the pond to me. When I get them I'll post some of them here. :); 14 April 2012 at 13:47
