The Overlooked Artistry of Maurice Whitman’s Jumbo Comics
At its best, Maurice Whitman’s art has the power to capture one’s imagination. He has an excellent eye for dynamic layouts, and his ghoulies and creepies are often drawn in a kind of a squiggly, sketchy way that really brings them alive for me. Not to be forgotten are his shapely women, usually in various states of déshabillé. Sometimes his covers are too chaotic, and don’t really hold together, leading the viewer to scratch his (or her!) head in confusion; but when it works, when all the pieces fall into place, his art can be glorious. ~ Ectoplasm–Bedeviled Pulchritude: Maurice Whitman’s Ghost Comics – Who’s Out There
