Earl Norem, Savage Sword of Conan, Green Hornet, Golgo 13, 7 Days, Mr. Magoo, Elektra, Boromir, The Cosmic Man, Dagwood Bumstead, Arthur Lake.

If you love old Blondie movies then you'll recognize the actor Arthur Lake. He played the role of Dagwood in all the movies from 1938 to 1950 and then the first series in 1957. Arthur played only a few other none Dagwood roles in his career mostly because he was constantly busy with the role and that he was essentially type cast.


One of my favorite birthday people is Earl Norem. I grew up looking at his amazing covers he did for Marvel's Savage Sword of Conan. When I think of Conan I think of his covers.
