I’ve been reading thru some Iron Skull stories in Amazing Man Comics. Sam Gilman used the names of fellow Golden Age artist Nick Zuraw for the villain in Amazing Man # 14 (Jul 1940). And Al Avison was the name of the villain in Amazing Man #’s 16–18 (#16 (Oct 1940–Dec 1940).

The four installments include a bit of info on the artists.


Interesting. I actually bought that and I don't buy many new products.

Oh, good choices. 
There's info on Hanks in the two collections of his work made by Paul Karasik.

No problem.
Hanks was a real s.o.b. from what is said by his son.

Sam Gilman (05 Feb 1915–03 Dec 1985)

Before WWII Sam Gilman was a graduate of Pratt Institute majoring in Fine Art with a minor in Theater. He worked as an Artist, Inker, and Penciller during the Comics Golden Age. He was a Penciller for the premiere issue of Marvel Comics #1 (Oct 1939). Other titles he worked on were: Amazing Man, Masked Marvel, Super Spy, Vapo-Man, and Iron Skull. He set aside his art career to fight in the European theatre during WWII as an army staff sergeant in the camouflage core, Northern France Campaign. After returning from the war he returned to start his acting career in NY theater where he met Marlon Brando and Wally Cox. Sam was the elder more established actor when they met and they became fast friends for life. Marlon convinced Sam to move to Hollywood, before Wally, and had a non-credited role in The Men. –IMDb Mini Biography by Michael Gregor Gilman, adopted son of Sam Gilman & Lisbeth Hush

Note: The part where it says (their union produced two children) is likely incorrect.

Cartoonist Charles Flanders (1907-1973) began his career as a commercial artist in Buffalo, NY. He moved to New York City in 1928 where he worked for an advertising agency and then as a magazine illustrator before being hired by King Features Syndicate in 1930. For King Features, Flanders worked on several preexisting strips including Tim Tyler's Luck and Bringing Up Father. In the mid-1930s he created comic adaptations of Ivanhoe and Treasure Island for Malcolm Wheeler-Nicholson's New Fun Comics as well as an original strip, Sandra of the Secret Service.

Here’s what I have been able to glean about CHARLES M. QUINLAN SR.

Charles Quinlan in the 1940 Census. First Name: Charles. Last Name: Quinlan. Age at Time of Census: 59. Gender: Male. Race: White. Ethnicity: American. Est. Birth Year: 1881. Birth Location: New York. Enumeration District: 36-30. Residence: Highlands Town, Orange, NY. Relationship to Head of Household: Head. Other People in Household: Marion Quinlan, 34 yrs, Female; Charles Quinlan, 11 yrs, Male; Diana Quinlan, 1 yrs, Female. Marital Status: Married. Language: English. Genealogical Society Number: 005458680. NARA Publication Number: T627. NARA Microfilm Roll Number: 2708. Line Number: 23. Sheet: A. Sheet Number: 9. Collection: 1940 U.S. Federal Population Census. –Ancestry.com, Aug 01, 2015

Charles Quinlan was Worth Carnahan's business partner in Bilbara, Worth and Hit Publishing (there's an interview with Carnahan's daughter [Cynthia Woody] in an issue of Comic Book Marketplace [#71, Sep 1999] somewhere that covers this). After the titles published by those three companies ended, Quinlan moved over to Helnit, and eventually took over as art director there. –fox_centaur, Apr 07, 2010 @ 12:47:45 PM, The Digital Comic Museum Forum

Charles M. Quinlan was active in the comics field during the 1940s and 1950s. He drew “Cat-Man and Kitten” for Helnit Publishing Company (1941-1944). He also drew Lone Eagle for Better Publications (1944-1947), Hopalong Cassidy for Fawcett (1948-1949), Two-Gun Lil and romance stories for Quality (1950-1951).

Charles M. Quinlan’s art is pretty good and he even puts himself in one of the stories (Cat-Man #15, Page 3, Panel 4). Super-heroes don’t always need to be deadly serious to entertain. –Crimson-Blu-Green, Jul 22, 2016 @ 09:26:00 PM, Digital Comic Museum Forum

QUINLAN, CHARLES was born 01 November 1880, received Social Security number XX-XX-XXXX (indicating Railroad Board) and, Death Master File says, died January 1966 (age 85). –SortedByName.com, 01 Mar 2014

Note: SSNs between 700-##-#### and 728-##-#### were issued to a railroad worker (no longer issued). Within the 700-01-xxxx to 728-26-xxxx range, the 4th and 5th digits indicate when a number was issued (700-09-#### issued between 1936 and 1950). –Railroad Board SSNs issued in 1936, https://www.ssn-verify.com/lookup/railroad-board, Dec 07, 2021
