This is a piece of onion skin paper my great grandpa drew on featuring his Green Lantern, Alan Scott! Not sure what the purpose of it was, but 90% sure it wasnt golden age related/timeframe wise.

Featuring a piece of artwork my great grandfather did for the San Diego con back in the day!

Context: This appears to be an old flyer for an in-store signing my great grandfather did at a comic shop. Thought it was pretty cool!

Cleaning out a house and found this old arcade game in the back. Anyone have any idea who to get this to so it gets saved?

Wasnt sure if i had posted this one already. if so ill unpost it but wanted to share again!

He studied to be a professional artist at Pratt Institute of Brooklyn, NY 1937-1938. He trained to go into advertising to begin with, but couldn't find any steady ad work. He finally struck an artist gig at DC comics in 1940, where he created the Green Lantern comic character. after leaving DC in 1947, still not being able to find ad work, he landed a job at Marvel Comics doing Captain america, the sub mariner, human torch, and various other art. He left in 1951 and finally landed a job at Cunningham & Walsh advertising, where he spent many years doing ad work, clients including Proctor & Gamble, Hydrox, and various others. He moved to chicago in the late 1950s, where he landed a job at Leo Burnett Advertising agency, where he led a team of artists doing ad work for Kelloggs, Folgers, Texaco, Etc. His most notable ad work being the first illustration of the Pillsbury Doughboy, created by Rudy Perz and Milt Schaffer. My great grandpa gets mis-credited with the creation of the doughboy a lot. He also worked for the Chicago Herald newspaper, doing ad work. In the early 70s, he moved to west palm beach flordia, where he worked for the Palm Beach post doing ad work until the early 1980s. around that time, comic book fans rediscovered his work, and he and his wife shortly after started traveling to comic shows from the early 80s up until his passing in 2006.
