A new blog u might like...
« on: November 06, 2011, 03:15:19 PM »
Hi, Golden Age fans,

In anticipation of the Quality Companion, I've begun blogging on all things Quality, too!
The Quality Companion Companion: http://qualitycomics.blogspot.com/

I hope you'll stop by and add to the discussion once in a while. There was so much material left even after I finished the book that I plan to just throw it up all online as I have the time.

Cheers,
Mike Kooiman

The Quality Implosion - A Graphic Look at Trends in Publishing

Hi Gang,
I thought I would point out the great job mykey did on a graph he's sharing on his blog (link above)
It visually shows you the history of Quality's publishing from start to finish.

Well worth a look.
:)

That's awesome! Especially since I've read a few Quality comics and thought Sally O'Neal the female cop was pretty cool 8)

 I think you would be amazed how many fans Sally has who are aging males.

Coming from this 27 year old woman I am not surprised that Sally O'Neal has a lot of older men as fans ;)

Ha! Who knew!? I think I'll have to write a bew Sally O'Neil profile then...

She and Betty Bates managed to have some great artists on their features during her time, and lasted for the better part of a decade!

  Betty Bates is an overlooked character and I should have known you would be familiar with her. I think you will find that Sally O'Neil does have enough fans to justify a future profile. I know I would read it.

  An overlooked artist you might want to consider spotlighting at some future date is Vernon Henkle, who drew a wide variety of series over quite a few years. His artwork turned up in some of the earliest Quality books and he was still working after W.W. II came to an end.

Vernon Henkel did a lot of work for Quality! He merits an artist profile in the book. I would call him Quality Comics' second freelancer, after George Brenner. Henkel began doing "Gallant Knight" with Feature Funnies #7 (1938).  This of course does not include Eisner & Iger and the three syndicates with whom Busy Arnold was partnered. Henkel is probably often overlooked because he drew very few super-heroes for any significant length of time. The Sniper might have been his longest hero run. But he had lots of other features that ran for ages.
