I consider Astarita among the very best artists of the real Golden Age (1936-1949).

Check out his work and Happy Belated Birthday Rafael.

His name has not come up much but I agree his work is superb.

If that's him as a child he could have been a stand-in for a young Spanky from the famous Little Rascals aka Our Gang!

narfstar:
Saw the pic and thoughts that's Spanky

darkmark (RIP):
And I recall an article written by him, "The Fiction House Shadow", which appeared in an ish of Fanfare.
