A friend of mine is writing on a larger subject in which this book comes up. Do we have any solid credit information on it. The sources he's dealing with have attached 'Al Capp studio' to the item, which sounds implausible. I said don't trust that till I see if I can come up with something more convincing.  JVJ?

EddieCampbell:
Sorry, I haven't posted here before and didn't mean to put it in this section. :)

JVJ (RIP):
Haven't seen this book before, Eddie,
Could be Dan Barry inked by brother Sy, or perhaps Sy alone. Very slick, very professional, very good. I just wish it were more distinctive to my eyes.

FWIW, I can't see Al Capp having anything to do with this nor do I credit the 1957 date. It feels more like 1959 or 1960 to me.

Wish I could be of more help. Sorry.

Peace, Jim (|:{>

EddieCampbell:
Thanks, Jim. That's a help.
Barry's name was in the mix this morning when we discussed the piece, and the fact that he did this other thing (signed)

for a client with with a political angle supports the attribution somewhat

best to you,

Eddie

EddieCampbell:
by attribution I mean

"Dan Barry (studio)?"

anything more than that would be going too far out on a limb.
