Title: Pictorial Romances #23 artists
Post by: josemas on February 21, 2012, 11:27:56 AM

Okay I just checked over the fairly recently uploaded Pictorial Romances #23 and decided to test my art spotting skills

Cover and first story are Matt Baker

Second story is pencilled by Mike Sekowsky.  No idea as to the inker though.

Last story is signed by Ric Estrada so I'm gonna go with...uh..Ric Estrada.


All around some very nice art throughout this little gem from St. John (pity about the muddy printing on a few pages but hey that's why they only cost ten cents back then) and thanks to all for making it available.

Best

Split to it's own topic to get more attention.
Thanks Joe.

No way, jose-mas!
Just kidding.
I concur with everything you spotted, but feel that the Baker in the first story looks odd.
Probably only pencils by Baker?
Just a feeling, I'm no Baker expert.

Yes you are. Inks by Ray Osrin - 10 to 1.

Wish I knew who was inking Sekowsky. If this were at Standard I'd guess Mike Peppe, but here....?

Thanks for the additional input on the Baker story guys.

Regarding Sekowsky- did he ever ink his own work?  It seems that everything of his I run across is inked by someone else.
