Hawkman and Sheldon Moldoff

[mistygeek]

Upon learning about the death of Sheldon Moldoff, I decided to show you his work.

From All-Star Comic #6 (August-September 1941), The Justice Society Initiates Johnny Thunder. Four and a half pages from what would have been a 60-something page comic.

We join our story alreadu in progress....
Thunderbolt tells Hawkman that Johnny Thunder is in trouble yet again...Meanwhile, Shiera learns she has inherited a fortune...


Hawkman arrives, and does what he has always done best...

Hawkman chases the Captain, but is tricked into trapping himself in the boiler room. There he hears Johnny's voice...

That last panel: That is a look that says "Yeah yeah; less gloating, more rescuing."

I interpreted it as, "Oh, hey, guess what I found with my other hand..."

Cannot unsee.

"Knock! Knock! Who's there..? The Hawkman!"

Was... was that supposed to be a joke? That sounds like something the Anti-Joke Chicken would say. "Knock knock! Who's there? I am, please let me in."

Anti-jokes are brilliant.

I love the way the wings are drawn on Hawkman. :)

Classy Hawkman art~

Excellent post--this art is from the period when Moldoff was influenced by Alex Raymond. His style later shifted duirng his Batman years, when he first emulated the Kane/Robinson/Sprang style, and then--after 1963--the "New Look" of Carmine Infantino. I posted one of Moldoff's stories from the latter period at: http://scans-daily.dreamwidth.org/2696538.html
