no. becuase A. he sucked. B. he stole most of everything he claimed he created -- nm - Remlik Dec 15, 16:46 3
- C. the quick hiring of Shelly Moldoff & Jerry Robinson by 1940 as inkers saved his artistic ass -- nm - Peglegpete Dec 15, 16:49 2
  - yeah...Then Kane was really smart when it came to the contracts as well. Really screwed over others who created the real stuff -- nm - Remlik Dec 15, 16:51 1
    - yup -- nm - Peglegpete Dec 15, 16:52
I don't think any Golden Age artist would. -- nm - Ender Dec 15, 16:44 11
- I agree that many would not inc. Kane. but Bill Everett, Lou Fine and a few others definately would get work today -- nm - Peglegpete Dec 15, 16:48 3
  - bill everett is the greatest....nm - x Dec 15, 17:10 2
    - you should have the archives of his work. I think vol. 3 recently came out -- nm - Peglegpete Dec 15, 17:12 1
      - i bought the cheapo essential submariner just to look at his pencils... - x Dec 15, 17:15
- there were a few exceptions. Joe Simon and Joe Kubert were both working until thier death a few years ago... - Remlik Dec 15, 16:47 5
  - Murphy Anderson is still working occasionally -- nm - Peglegpete Dec 15, 16:48 4
    - he's doing private commissions or did he go over to the advertising world? -- nm - Remlik Dec 15, 16:50 3
      - private stuff. he's pushing 90. the same for Joe Sinnott. but 99% of things they turn down -- nm - Peglegpete Dec 15, 16:51 2
        
        they probably only do the $$$$$ pieces -- nm - Remlik Dec 15, 16:54 1
        
        yup. or charity projects dear to their hearts. -- nm - Peglegpete Dec 15, 17:03
