Joe Kubert : Weird Horrors Daring Adventures (Vol. 1) (The Joe Kubert Archives) before purchasing it in order to gage whether or not it would be worth my time, and all praised Weird Horrors Daring Adventures (Vol. 1) (The Joe Kubert Archives):

Early Kubert... great Kubert!By Diego CordobaOnce again, I seem to be the only person relishing in these early works by some of the most talented American artists of all time that is reprinting in collectible volumes (, Mort Meskin, Steve Ditko). And I don't know why. Am I the only person who's eagerly awaiting these reprints? If so, I don't mind... but I wish there were more people out there appreciating the great effort Fantagraphics is doing in reprinting these long-forgotten comics. And I'm not even getting paid by them for saying so, as I can get quite nasty sometimes. Oh well...Concerning this book, which is hardbound (yeah!), it collects, contrary to what the title says, not only Weird Horrors by Joe Kubert, but just about everything else he did in the '50's (and he worked for practically every other comic book publisher out there, even EC; though his EC + DC work aren't collected here), and it features everything from Crime-does-not-pay- type stories, to westerns, adventure and even humorous stories (Miss Pepper... anyone?). Once again, the stories have been sufficiently restored to whiten-out the yellowing pages, correcting some color misalignments, but kept with the original thick halftoned color printing of the time. The art varies from early not-quite-good Kubert (he was in his early twenties), to his very good work from the mid-fifties. I actually prefer Kubert's work from around that time, which was a sort of hybrid between and Milton Caniff, but with elements of what would later be the Kubert-style. In those days, Kubert inked mostly with a brush, and it's incredible how his work back then reminds me of Spanish artist (of Torpedo and now Jonah Hex fame). It seems both grew up loving the same artist: Frank Robbins. I just love those western stories Kubert drew, and I don't know why he never became famous for drawing westerns, and instead for war stories.All in all, there's something for every one here (his humorous work is quite good, something I was totally unaware of)... and for those of you who believe since it's early Kubert it ain't very good... well, you're in for a surprise. It's really good! As I said before, some early stuff is slightly out of proportion concerning the body drawings (apparently he didn't excel in drawing superheroes back then), but for the most part it's quite good. Again, I prefer Kubert from the '50's than the rushed penwork of Kubert drawing Sgt. Rock (though my favorite Kubert remains Viking Prince).If you like Jordi Bernet's early work in Torpedo, you'll love this book by Kubert. I can't recommend it enough (along with the other FB books collecting Ditko, Meskin and Toth work from the '50's). And if you love comic books from the '50's (and who doesn't? as those were the best ever), this one is for you!Let's help keep this work alive and in print, folks, before they disappear forever!8 of 8 people found the following review helpful. Essential for Kubert FansBy LazarusAlthough Joe Kubert is often thought of as a DC artist, for much of his early career he also freelanced at other companies. This book collects a variety of his work from the forties and fifties,; it is not chronologically arranged, but you'll see a range of Kubert styles, ranging from the promising line work of a talented beginner to the lush brushwork of an early master. Some of these stories have been reproduced in black and white, some not at all, but here they are all well produced in color, faithful but improved versions of the original newsprint printing. Especially beautiful are the Son of Sinbad stories which make you understand why DC editor Bob Kanigher immediately thought of Kubert when he needed an artist for The Viking Prince. There's also a nice introduction by Kubert expert and biographer Bill Schelly, whose fine hand is otherwise visible only in the story selections, and, I suspect, the book's high production values. I hope you'll buy this book so that there will be a volume two. I'm a little concerned that the title and non-prominence of Kubert's name on the cover may lead some prospective buyers to overlook this treat.0 of 0 people found the following review helpful. Blood and SweatBy Jack HinkKubert took inspiration from , but made something dark, pulpy, and sexy out of it. Whether it was his '70s "stealth minimalism," or earlier, more labor-intensive, work like this, his art has always woven beauty with high-test virility in a way that only Frazetta could top.

Thirty-three of Sgt. Rock cartoonist Joe Kubert’s crime and horror comics, collected in one volume. Joe Kubert sealed his reputation as one of the greatest American comic-book cartoonists of all time with the four-color adventures of Sgt. Rock of Easy Company, Enemy Ace, and Tarzan, all done for DC Comics during the 1960s and 1970s (themselves already the subject of archival editions)... but he had been working in comics since the 1940s. In fact, young Kubert produced an exciting, significant body of work as a freelance artist for a variety of comic book publishers in the postwar era, in a glorious variety of non-super hero genres: horror, crime, science fiction, western, romance, humor, and more. For the first time, 33 of the best of these stories have been collected in one full-color volume, with a special emphasis on horror and crime. The Kubert work in this book is that of a burgeoning talent attacking the work with tremendous panache, and in the process, developing a style that became one of the most distinctive in the medium. Since these stories were written and drawn in the pre-Comics Code era, they are more thrilling, violent and sexy (by contemporary standards) than much of his later, Code-constrained work. And just the titles of the comic books from which these stories are taken are wonderfully evocative of a bygone era of four-color fun: Cowpuncher, Abbott and Costello Comics, Three Stooges, Eerie, Planet Comics, Meet Miss Pepper, Strange Terrors, Green Hornet Comics, Whack, Jesse James, Out of This World, Crime Does Not Pay, Weird Thrillers, Police Lineup, and Hollywood Confessions. As with Fantagraphics’ acclaimed Steve Ditko and Bill Everett Archives series, Weird Horrors and Daring Adventures boasts state-of-the-art restoration and retouching, and historical notes by the book’s editor Bill Schelly, author of the Art of Joe Kubert art book and Man of Rock Kubert biography. 240

From BooklistKubert is best known for his lengthy stint at DC Comics beginning in the mid-1950s, where he drew such iconic characters as Sgt. Rock, Hawkman, and Tarzan. But before that, he cut his teeth at a variety of small publishers, working in every genre the field had to offer. The generous sampling of his early work collected in this hardcover volume demonstrates the diversity of Kubert’s work in this period, from horror and science fiction to westerns, crime, and even humor. The earliest, from 1944 (when Kubert was only 17), are competent but crude, although no more unpolished than most comics from the era. Within a few years, however, he developed into one of the medium’s leading stylists, with a distinctively recognizable style marked by dramatic compositions and strategic use of solid-black areas to create atmosphere. Kubert would continue to draw comics steadily right up to his death last year at age 85; these early tales lay the foundation for that enduring and productive career. --Gordon FlaggAbout the AuthorApproaching the middle of his ninth decade, Joe Kubert draws with more vigor than most cartoonists one third his age.Bill Schelly is an Eisner-nominated comic-book and film historian; he lives in Seattle.
