This was my contribution. It’s also one of the fastest illustrations I ever made—make that the fastest—on account of some very short notice I was given. I credit my wife for the concept behind the drawing.

Not bad for 60, huh?

This kind of stuff confuses me as much as it angers me. I know it’s been going around for awhile but it shouldn’t be old news until it stops.

Also see this page. I had to participate because it reminded me so much of this drawing I made 2 years ago. (Not that I’m accusing anyone of art theft ;-) )

The artist might be Klaus Nordling or Jack Kamen or someone else. It’s a page from an issue of the National Comics publication Kid Dixon, from some time in the 1940s.

Kid Dixon

I especially like the expressionistic frames and the wonderful large face drawn with fine lines and a thick outline. If anyone knows what issue this came from, or what artist drew it for sure, please contact me.

UPDATE: After some research, this looks very much like Jack Kamen’s work in the Inspector Dayton comic strip.

Based this on a 1960s Jack Kirby drawing inked by Joe Sinnott. I supposed I should mention Silver Surfer is copyright and TM Marvel Comics.

It’s based on an old Captain Midnight comic book from 1947. I redrew it, adding all the Christmas references. The original art is about 11″ x 16.5″.
