Yoc:
Now up, thanks very much T!
:D

JVJ (RIP):
You're welcome, tilliban,
PS, even at the Elements level, is a pretty neat program. Glad to help.

Now I'd beg to differ with you about Baffling Mysteries #5. It's got Mike Sekowsky, Ken Rice and even Gene Colan. Granted, not the best work any of these men did, but nothing to sneeze at, either.

tilliban:
Hot patootie!

You know the artists of ACE magazines?!
Grand Comic Database knows next to nothing.
I've been trying to crack this tough nut - and indexed BAFFLING #5 with a George Appel story.
Am I wrong about that?
Please tell me, which stories from #5 are Rice / Colan / Sekowsky.
I wanna learn to identify ACE artists.

I bow to the wisdom of one the greatest art spotters in comic history.
Yours very truly
T.

Yes, tilliban, I know most of them.

Appel is definitely involved. I tend to think of this style and "Guttwirth/Appel" as both seem to be there. Who's doing what? I can't say.

First story is Sekowsky inked by either (or both) Vince Alascia or Jim McLaughlin.
Second story is Guttwirth/Appel
Third is Ken Rice - a great artist who worked primarily for Ace and is often mistaken for Lou Cameron.
Last story is Gene Colan inked by ?

I don't know who does the two fillers. They are reminiscent of Sol Brodsky a bit.

Feel free to tone it down a bit. I'm just a guy with a knack. I studied at the feet of Hames Ware and Jerry Bails and learned from lots of other guys. The biggest hurdle to learning how to ID artists used to be getting a chance to see the comics. Now you've got access to tons of them, as well as a Who's Who and the GCD. Start learning. You don't need me nearly as much as you might think.

Dear Jim,
Thank you very mucho for your info concerning BAFFLING #5.
Uploading now

BEYOND #5.

Using your tutorial I would say:
DEMONS OF WALPURGIS MOUNTAIN (last) should be Sekowsky.
ENIGMA OF THE UNSCHEDULED PASSANGER (third) eludes me – any ideas?
THE FRENZY OF SHEILA LORD (second) is one of those rare Gutwirth/Appel concoctions again.
BIG TOP NIGHTMARE (first) looks familiar, (from ACE-story “When Black Wings flap” in BAFFLING#9) can’t put a name on it.
By the way: Ken Rice is very good indeed – and I would never confuse him with Lou Cameron.
; -)

All stories from Beyond#5 are quite nice. My favourite is “Demons” though, located again in a German/Austrian village where people have names like “Eric”, “Hans”, “Fritz”, “Karl” and “Bertha”. Which is allright, by the way. But do they have to have family names like “Zwiebelbart” (Onion beard)? And must that village be named “Grausam” – which means nothing less than “cruel”. Sets the right tone for the whole piece…
