From Here to Insanity #11
« on: August 03, 2010, 08:41:25 AM »
Weird comic.
No credits data in GCD.

I found "FO" (Fred Ottenheimer?) in the splash panel of Dorothy and Digby.

Much of the rest of the art looks like Kirby / Simon&Kirby to me.

Maybe the cover but the cover story 20,000 Lugs Under the Sea definitely looks like Kirby/S&K.

Build It Yourself looks like maybe Simon.

Comet Feldmeyer looks like (S&)Kirby.

Rex Mortgage MD maybe Kirby.

Comments, Jim or anyone else?

Excelsior!

It looks like Harry Mendryk credits the whole kit and kaboodle to Kirby:  http://kirbymuseum.org/blogs/simonandkirby/index.php?s=insanity&submit=Search

Not the whole book.

He doesn't credit (Simon and/or) Kirby with "Old Love" (6 pages), some but not all of which does look like MAYBE S&K.
Look at pg. 3 bottom left panel -- redhead looks like a Kirby woman -- etc.

Nor does he credit S &/or Kirby with "Dorothy and Digby" (4 pages) -- which has the initials "FO" in the splash panel.
Fred Ottenheimer is credited in GCD for art in an earlier From Here to Insanity.

Thanks for the comments, jrvandore, and the link to the Kirby index.

I love comics!
