Art Spotting in general
Ger Apeldoorn:
Yep... I will do a list with my opinions as soon as I am ready. As I said, I may have jumped the gun here. I am still getting everythng ready for a discussion. I am just now scanning the Mesking story from Headline #29. But if you want to have a look, Jim... there is an interesting mix of things happening with Meskin and Robinson in early 1948.
First Meskin drops out of The Vigilante and his place is taken by George Roussos. This may have been do to the new stories for Western, although they do no appear until later that year. Then Meskin reappears in Action with Vigilante. We have the Billy the Kid story. Meskin and Robinson start working for Headline, Young Romance and JTTG. Some of these stories are credited to Meskin solo, but I just don't know. The first Headline story (probably the first Prize story anyway) looks the same as the first JTTG story. I am intrigued b your notion that Meskin and Robinson may have started their collaboration the other way around. The Young Romance story has more Robinson in it. On the whole you can see that all of these stories are better drawn and more detailed than anything Meskin had been doing up to the point he temporarily left Vigilante. I am trying to get all these stories up on my blog to try and do a comparison...

First off, Ger, I confess to a complete ignorance when it comes to the DC appearances you quote. I take your word implicitly regarding those. However, when it comes to the Hillman Billy the Kid story, I looked at it again and then went and checked my index card done 20 years ago: same results. I see no Robinson here. My card says Meskin (w/Roussos? or Starr?) and that's still what I see. Starr is most likely pencilling this with Meskin doing the inks. Possible some Roussos inks as well.
As for the Prize work, give me the titles/issues/stories and I'll see what I can see. And remember, I haven't SEEN the DC material you refer to. I could never afford the books and was much more intrigued by the "lesser" publishers of the day.
Peace, Jim (|:{>

Take a look at Postage Stamp Killer (or something like that) in Headline #28, Ger. I think that is the perfect example of them getting it backwards the first time.

LadybelleQH:
I can provide an image of what Barbara Hall looked like. She was my mother and a very very beautiful woman, "more beautiful than any motion-picture actress in Hollywood," as my besotted (and Bohemian) father said of her. Let me know if this is of interest to anyone.

I am sure that Roy Thomas would love to have pictures for Alter Ego. Roy & Dann Thomas <roydann@ntinet.com>
Also if you have any information about your mother's work that you can correct or add to the GCD it would be great to have her get all the credit she deserves. www.comics.org
