Mr. Magoo Via Dan Gormley!

The work of Dan Gormley has become better known in recent years after Drawn and Quarterly Publishing began its John Stanley Library - as Gormley provided finished art for Stanley's layouts in several volumes. His work here on Mr. Magoo showcases his pretty, near-perfect brushwork (with just a hint of Stanley in the hotel detective?). I love how Gormley's line looks so effortless, so easy and natural. This story comes from Gerald McBoing Boing and the Nearsighted Mr. Magoo No. 1, August-October 1952.

This single pager is from the same issue, back cover; and is also the work of Mr. Gormley.

Mr. Magoo in "Invasion From Mars"

"Invasion From Mars" showcases the beautifully effortless work of Cecil Surry. Surry worked for Disney and Walter Lance Studios during the 30s, and drew comics for Western Publishing through the 40s and 50s. During the 1950s, he animated for UPA as well, primarily on Magoo cartoons.

"Invasion From Mars" appeared in Gerald McBoing Boing and the Nearsighted Mr. Magoo No. 1, August-October, 1952. For those interested in the Gerald story from same issue, click HERE!
