He developed the definitive Alfred E. Neuman in 1956 and regularly painted covers until 1976, switching to the MAD paperback book covers, and did an occasional cover (or three) in 1979 and 1980. He was of the same generation as Norman Rockwell, and had similar sensibilities. Mingo and his wife attended a Reformed Church in Tarrytown, New York.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35459855.post-25783169967165511572008-02-28T19:08:00.000+00:002008-02-28T19:08:00.000+00:00Just checked out Toms work here:http://thomasfluha...Just checked out Toms work here:<BR/>http://thomasfluharty.blogspot.com/<BR/>It's Amazing!

Armstrong's Radio Church of God in 1941 and was ordained as an elder in 1943. <BR/><BR/>Yes his style pre-dates Crumb and the underground comic movement. I personally dislike Crumb's work which I find crude, but like Wolverton's.Paul Greenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13087250570346996589noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35459855.post-3293545804607097112007-10-30T14:22:00.000+00:002007-10-30T14:22:00.000+00:00I would imagine it's been digitally colored, so it...I would imagine it's been digitally colored, so it should be safe.<BR/>His style reminds me of the 'underground' comics of the 70's.<BR/>They featured Robert Crumb and others.Bible artisthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11875939553176288499noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35459855.post-26027607063001362112007-10-30T14:07:00.000+00:002007-10-30T14:07:00.000+00:00I personally feel Basil Wolverton's son made the w...I personally feel Basil Wolverton's son made the wrong decision is choosing to colorize his father's original b/w illustrations.

He also worked for various U.S. comic book companies. His artwork has a unique atmosphere and style especially suited to horror and sci-fi comics of the 1950s. So it's no surprise his often nightmarish style would be suited to the Apocalypse.Paul Greenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13087250570346996589noreply@blogger.com
