Some recycled comic artwork

Post by tjuo »

In early to mid 20th century american comics was it not uncommon for artists to sometimes lift artwork from others, or even from their own earlier works. I believe this practice was relatively accepted in those days, and even the best artists did it from time to time.

Anyway, here is an example I found that probably only weirdos would have noticed:

Flash Gordon - 1940 june 16 (the original, I think)

Flash Comics #11 (Hawkman) - 1940 november

Flash Comics #28 (Hawkman) - 1942 april
Image

Love Mystery #2 - 1950 august
Image

Flash Gordon - 1951 december 19
