Comic Coverage is seeking help in solving an All-Flash Art Mystery — namely, this stippled portrait of the Flash from All-Flash #13 (reprinted in the 1973 Flash 100 Page Spectacular ) in a dramatically different style than regular artist E.E. Hibbard‘s usual (of which the faces in the border are more typical).
(My take: I don’t see any reason to believe it’s not Hibbard’s own work, judging by some of the panels he did for creator cameos and wildlife paintings he did in the years after his comics career. And in The Flash Companion, Tom Brevoort recalls being astonished by this page, and believes it to be Hibbard’s work.)
Thanks so much for the information, Kelson! Your links have really made me reconsider my original take on Hibbard’s involvement. You’re the best!
Glad I could help!
Just ran across the Hibbard article in The Flash Companion this evening… as well as a photo of you! 😛
I see no reason why it cant be Hibbard,looking at his wildlife art… I would assume he made his art look cartoon-y for comics, but was able to draw in a few different ways.
