Abe Vigoda is 92 and still doing work on TV, enough said on that.
Finally, Sam Kweskin's birthday is today. His work in comic books made the 50's Atlas comics what they are.
Birthdays
| Sam Kweskin 1924, comic book artist, Kweskin's earliest confirmed credits include penciling and self-inking stories in three Atlas comics cover-dated February 1953: The horror/mystery books Strange Tales #15 and Adventures Into Terror #16, and the war comic Battlefront #9. He continued drawing stories for such Atlas horror anthologies as Journey Into Mystery, Marvel Tales, and Uncanny Tales, Western titles including Kid Colt, Outlaw and Wild Western, and even Bible Tales for Young Folk. In 1957, he freelanced briefly again for Atlas, on the science fiction anthology World of Fantasy. In the early 1970s, Kweskin briefly returned to freelancing for what was now Marvel Comics. He both wrote and penciled a six-page horror tale, "Revenge from the Rhine", in Journey into Mystery vol. 2, #3 (Feb. 1973), and then succeeded Sub-Mariner creator Bill Everett on that character's comic-book title following Everett's death; Kweskin and Everett together penciled issue #58 (Feb. 1973), with Everett inking and Kweskin penciled or laid out #59-60 and 62-63. |
