Tarzan 227

Joe Kubert's cover to the January, 1974 issue of Tarzan has Edgar Rice Burrough's famous character in an uncharacteristic location. The jungle lord must be cold if he only has a leopard skin thong, a torn wolf pelt and that one boot to keep him warm on the top of this snowy mountain.

Joe Kubert Inking Course

In September of 2007 I thought I would indulge myself by taking one of the correspondence courses offered at Joe Kubert's World of Cartooning. I just finished and sent in this 3rd lesson.

One thing I have learned, so far, is to respect artists who draw and ink their own work in the comic book field. It takes a tremendous amount of effort to produce one decent looking page. I just can't imagine how the legendary master cartoonists did it at such a productive rate. I would think, like with many careers, a love for the work and paying the mortgage are excellent motivators.
