You knew he was<BR/>destined for a long career in the<BR/>pros. <BR/>He's done fine work on a lot of projects over the decades, but no<BR/>defining work, like Bissette and<BR/>Totleben's storytelling over Alan<BR/>Moore's scripts on Swamp Thing.<BR/>You could do a long article on all<BR/>the newspaper comic strips that Joe<BR/>Kubert/The Joe Kubert School were<BR/>involved in since the school's inception. <BR/>Besides the proposed Rocky feature,<BR/>Kubert picked up assignments on<BR/>some long-running strips that had<BR/>lost their artists. He would assign<BR/>layout/penciling duties to some of<BR/>his better students, and then go<BR/>over the work with the usual Kubert<BR/>flourish! I myself assisted Joe,<BR/>very briefly, on the Big Ben Bolt<BR/>comic strip in the 1970's. Hmmm,<BR/>never did see the printed work,<BR/>though you can be sure it looked<BR/>more like Kubert art and very little like Kujava art!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15624230.post-89556512063171228592007-11-25T11:37:00.000-05:002007-11-25T11:37:00.000-05:00That's interesting.

They met with the band and he did some preliminary art but it never made it past that stage. <BR/><BR/>My personal grail for a comic that was ALMOST made would be the Joe Kubert Rocky newspaper strip. Joe was at an OrlandoCon in the early 80s and said that he did several strips but it never made it past that stage. I would LOVE to see the work that he did.<BR/><BR/>There must be tons of stories of comics that almost made it!Craig Zablohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10350991808928451673noreply@blogger.com
