Classic Interview: Murphy Anderson, a Silver Age Legend – Comics Bulletin
Sequential Tart: When you were working for the big comics studios, you said you had an office and a desk? Murphy Anderson: Yeah, when I started at Fiction House they had offices where the “three sixes” are. If you know New York at all, that’s where DC was located for many years. ST: Most of those people working in those offices at the time were men; there were very few women. Murphy Anderson: No, just the opposite! When I started there they were all ladies, practically. There were only two or three males in there. ST: What were the ladies doing? Comic books? Murphy Anderson: Oh yeah, oh yeah. There was Fran Hopper, she did a number of adventure stories for Planet Comics and all over. Lilly Renee who did their lead feature for Planet Comics. Oh, Ruth McCully was a letterer. Ruth Atkinson was an artist who worked there. Her brother happened to be a very prominent jockey; he was one of the top jockeys in the country at the time. And Marcia Snyder, she did a very heavy adventure-type of material.
ST: Was that because it was around the war years? Murphy Anderson: Oh sure, it was war time. There was a shortage of anyone to do the stuff. How do you think a 17-year-old kid could walk in and get a job? ~ The Gentleman of Comics: Murphy Anderson – Sequential Tart
