Middle Class Fantasies by Jerry Lane? I loved that comic, The Frogman was great. I had to Google him to see what happened to him, but could not find anything post 70s. Thanks MDG glad someone else found this obscure book.

I might have to dive into some research here to answer this myself but I know the minds here are always sharp so I will ask...
Does anyone know the first comic that "Ghastly" Graham Ingels started signing his work/covers with "Ghastly"? Or at least the first/earliest cover or interior work to feature the monicker?

Thanks MDG glad someone else found this obscure book. I first saw his work in the Lampoon rip-off Apple Pie (also where I first saw Terry Austin's work) and ordered Middle Class Fanmtasies on the strength of that work. (I think #2 reprints some of that Apple Pie work.) But after that, he seems to have dropped off the planet.

I'll check the EC FB group and will probably get an answer pretty quickly.

Where I saw and passed on a copy of Cerebus #1.

I believe it's Haunt of Fear #10 (1951), in the story "Grave Business." Here’s what I got: the first story signed "GHASTLY" was Horror, Head...It Off! in TFTC 27. Based on copyright registration dates (since cover dates are useless, especially when HOF is involved) the next two, in order, are: Grave Business (HOF 10) and Monster In The Ice (VOH 22).

Dylan Dog, Italy That series did a few "guest appearances," as I have seen one with Corto Maltese popping up,, at the end. They were doing that in the Dick Tracy comic strip, for a bit and had the Phantom show up and at least alluded to Little Orphan Annie.

Were there other choices for Superman’s 1986 reboot before John Byrne got the ‘gig’?

Were there other choices for Superman’s 1986 reboot before John Byrne got the ‘gig’? Steve Gerber and Frank Miller pitched the idea of Metropolis Comics to DC. with Miller doing Batman, Gerber doing Wonder Woman and both of them doing Superman. DC said they wanted to consider proposals from multiple sources, which led to Gerber and Miller withdrawing. Cary Bates and Marv Wolfman are said to have been among those who submitted Superman pitches. link

Thanks for that. I never really wondered (until now) about who else might have been approached.

So as I was browsing through the GCD looking at Kubert's 50s output, I happened to notice that there were a few Kubert Son of Sinbad stories that appeared elsewhere in St; John's comics besides the one issue of Son of Sinbad. SO far I have been able to identify Abbott and Costello Comics #10 and Daring Adventures 3-D #1 as also having Son of Sinbad stories drawn by Kubert. It's slow going through the GCD, and while certainly an invaluable resource, it is not always complete, so my question is, does anyone know of other Son of Sinbad stories to appear in St. John's comics, either by Kubert or by other artists, that I may have missed?
-M
edit to add: The Daring Adventures story is a reprint of one of the store is from the Son of Sinbad comic done in 3-D, not a new story, but the A&C issue seems to be a new story.

Fantagraphics' book, the Joe Kubert Archives #1 - Weird Horrors & Daring Adventures reprints the two stories you know of, which suggests Kubert may not have drawn more. link
