Comment made at: Negro Romance 02 -upgradeJVJ: following up on the Hollingsworth controversy (or not!), I just read Part 2 of the Roy Ald interview, in Alter Ego 105 (Oct 2011) and Ald states there that Fawcett published Negro Romance BECAUSE of Hollingsworth, and that he (Hollingsworth) drew for the books. In that same article there's a signed piece of girlie art by Hollingsworth that looks reasonably congruent with the style of those two stories in Negro Romance 2. In Alter Ego 106, part 3 of the Ald interview, that's where it is mentioned that Palais drew the second story, and not Hollingsworth, and that makes sense because of the considerable stylistic difference between the first & third stories compared to that second story. So Roy Ald, the editor of the comic, states that he wrote most of the Negro Romance stories, and that Hollingsworth was the artist (on most), and that the title was created as an engagement for Hollingsworth. That's pretty much as close as we're going to get to the source. So what makes you think that Ald is incorrect?
