Title: Question for any Golden Age comics expert on Calling All Boys and Tex Granger
Post by: pervysage on May 02, 2010, 11:30:32 AM

My research on the interwebz thus far has not yielded any definitive answers to these questions:

I know Tex Granger first appears inside Calling All Boys, but I don't know for sure what his first appearance is.
I'm guessing that it is issue #10 of Calling All Boys, but was wondering if anyone could solidly confirm this guess.

Also I don't see any credits for those particular comics online either. Who is it that created Tex Granger?
The writing and art team behind the Tex Granger stories in Calling All Boys? Who are they and what are their names?

Thanks for any assistance or direction you may be able to provide.

Tex Granger is in #10 and is not in #4 or #6.  That's all I can help with.

I have no idea who wrote Tex Granger, but the artist was the prolific and very talented Lorence F. Bjorklund.

I have almost all of the Calling All Boys, but no access to them at the moment. Give me a month and ask me again.

Peace, Jim (|:{>

Thanks very much for the info Jim. Hopefully I'll be able to get back to you in a month before my deadline.

I realize it hasn't yet been a month, but I'm probably going to be recording audio for the piece I'm doing on Tex Granger this weekend. For now I've got Lorence F. Bjorklund who I will credit as creator, but if at all possible Jim, it would be great to know who wrote those stories so I could give creator credit to the writer half of the equation as well.

My recording got pushed back a week. So if there's anymore info on the writer half of the Calling All Boys/Tex Granger equation,
I still have time to include it into pre-production this weekend.
