To learn a little more about Martin Filchock and his career outside of comic books, visit the following sites: The Christian Science Monitor has an interview with Filchock from August 2006. Looking Back Magazine features Filchock's "Defective Detective", a feature similar to his "Check and Double Check" found in "Highlights For Children". The website, Everything Knoxville, has an interview with Filchock from September 2009, while AmericanProfile.com has an earlier interview from October 2004.
I'ld ramble-on today, but I'm fairly annoyed about something, and I don't want those feelings bleeding-over into something like this blog, which is supposed to be fun for all involved. So go and enjoy 40+ pages of Golden Age fun before you dart to the malls to finish (or start) your Christmas shopping.
In his next (last?) story (Liberty Scouts #3) The Fireman got a red winged helmet and a yellow cape.
ReplyDeleteFire-Man did appear next in Liberty Scouts 3, and those appearances were followed by stories in Man of War Comics 1 & 2. Had I been in a better mood yesterday, I would have listed each of the characters' known appearances. Well, Electric Ray and Owl only made one appearance each ... Next time I post stories from Martin Filchock, I'll do it right.
ReplyDeleteThank you so much for sharing these stories. I understand that Filchock is still active in his mid-90's (just amazing).
ReplyDeleteI am looking for Centaurs (including a copy of Amazing-Man Comics 26) for my collection; does anyone know of a source? Thnx STEVE sacentaur@aol.com
