Grand Adventure
What a grand adventure style Bob Lubbers brought to Fiction House comix back in the golden age—full of DANGER, MYSTERY, ACTION, & ROMANCE (and I'm not kidding).

aw, Bob Lubbers! now, there's a name I haven't heard in a looong time. I remember he did a great issue of Movie Comics, with one of the Mickey Rooney Andy Hardy films in it. Brilliant. I don't have a scan of the cover anymore, but if you can find it ( I think it's # 3 ), check it out, and you can see the influence that Lubbers had on the late great Dave Stevens.
ReplyDeletethat cover, by the way? that's a great cover, that is.
Yes, indeed, it's as if Dave Stevens went back in time and sat in for Lubbers. Now there's a story someone should write up for the comix.
ReplyDeleteAnd yuh, Lubbers covers were eye-grabbers.
