...Ya what? Action Comics 331

[beyondthespheres]

Comic book adaptations of movies were generally pretty dull, but as a kid I pored over the Goodwin/Simonson/Janson adaptation of Close Encounters. It had a magic of its own that sprang entirely from their use of the medium. I studied it intensely and learned a lot about how comics can work.

Below: Fig 1: Simonson in 1978. Fig 2: Me in 1998. I didn't realize I'd done this until years later!

Vater und Sohn

Büchergilde Gutenberg, 1957 Series, Germany

E. O. Plauen

E. O. Plauen (often stylized as e.o.plauen) was the pseudonym of Erich Ohser (March 18, 1903 – April 5, 1944) (some sources give his birth year as 1909), a German cartoonist best known for his strip Vater und Sohn ("Father and Son").

He completed his studies at the Akademie für Graphische Künste und Buchgewerbe in Leipzig in 1928, and began work at the Sächsische Sozialdemokratische Presse. In his work for such democratic magazines as Vorwärts, satirical representations of Joseph Goebbels and Adolf Hitler earned him the enmity of the Nazis, and he was prohibited from practicing his trade (Berufsverbot). He continued to work under pseudonyms, and from 1940, began again to produce cartoons on political themes. He was arrested on charges of expressing anti-Nazi opinions (reichsfeindliche Äußerungen).

On April 5, 1944 – the day before his trial – Ohser committed suicide in his cell.
