“I Didn’t Stay In One Place!” – Twomorrows
I had filled out an application as an artist and cartoonist at a professional agency in New York City. Will Eisner and Jerry Iger called for me to submit some art samples. I was soon accepted and asked to work in their studio. I worked alongside Bob Powell, Lou Fine, and Mike Sekowsky. Later the studio expanded, with Charles Sultan, John Celardo, Nick Cardy, and Toni Blum joining in. I worked on “Shark Brodie,” “Spike Marlin,” and other strips. I soon left the Eisner & Iger studio to go work for Harry Chesler’s shop. Chesler was currently handling some comics for Fawcett Publications, who couldn’t keep up with the production of their successful and expanding line of comics. It was at this time I drew several early issues of Captain Marvel Adventures, as well as some other strips. We had a good group of artists at the Chesler shop: Ruben Moreira, Mac Raboy (who later worked for Fawcett), Ralph Astarita, and Charles Sultan, whom I had first met at Eisner & Iger’s studio. ~ “I Didn’t Stay In One Place!” – TwoMorrows Publishing
