Hi,


I've previewed some of the GI Joe comics (published by Ziff-Davis) as well as their other titles; I'm impressed with the artwork!!... unfortunately, the names of the artists/inkers aren't listed - Can someone can help out identifying the artists/inkers in the issues/chapters listed below:

1) GI Joe V2 #10 (1952)

*Weepy's Christmas
*The Tigress Returns


2) GI JOE V7 #51

*Come Away with Me Lucille
*All Roads Lead to Goober


Thanks!
Warren

I think the artist in question for this issue/chapters is FRANK GIACOIA.  His style/brushwork seems to have been influenced by Milton Caniff's thick brushstrokes and ample use of blacks/sillhouttes -  During the silver-age/bronze-age era, he became primarily an inker for artists such as Jack kirby (e.g., Captain America). Here's two links germane to this topic:

According to WhosWho he only inked on GI Joe

JVJ (RIP):
Possibly Giacoia inks, guys,
that's what I have in pencil on my data card for those two, but the penciler is definitely Irv Novick on #10.
For those interested in such things:
Hoosier Farmboy is Mike Suchorsky
The Eagle Screams is George Olesen
Betsy Ross Bags a Colonel is George Tuska plus inker
Battle of Wits is Everett Raymond Kinstler
Mail Call is Henry Sharp
Colonel's Girl is Mike Becker
40 Minutes With Destiny is Kinstler again.

#51 is trickier. I think all the G.I. Joe strips are penciled by Ernie Schroeder, with at least two different inkers. Novick is a possibility on the two noted (which I believe are inked by a different person than the first story), but I'd be hard-pressed to say so with any certainty.

Peace, Jim (|:{>
