Leonard Starr fan of Big Luciano

Dedicated to Leonard Starr big fan of Big Luciano Pavarotti

The adventures of two T.V. journalists – in the 80s – whose jobs lead them to come up against major and minor dramas.

To give an idea of the style, their stories resemble the T. V. series Hill Street Blues and N.Y. Police Dept. Besides the story, the human side of the main characters and their interpersonal relationships are developed.

Leonard Starr (28 October 1925 – 30 June 2015, USA)  is an American comic book artist, whose credits vary from Golden Age comic books and advertisements to soap opera newspaper comics and stories for European comic magazines. Born in New York City, Starr got his art education from Manhattan’s High School of Music and Art and the Pratt Institute. While still attending Pratt, he did his first comic book artwork through the Chesler shop and Funnies Inc. in 1942. He collaborated on ‘The Sub-Mariner’ and ‘Human Torch’ for Timely and on ‘Don Winslow of the Navy’ for Fawcett Comics. He also worked for a variety of other publishers, including Better Publications, Consolidated Book, Croyden Publications, E. R. Ross Publishing, Hillman Periodicals and Crestwood.

Luciano Pavarotti (12 October 1935 – 6 September 2007) was an Italian operatic tenor who during the late part of his career crossed over into popular music, eventually becoming one of the most acclaimed and loved tenors of all times. He made numerous recordings of complete operas and individual arias, gaining worldwide fame for the quality of his tone, and eventually established himself as one of the finest tenors of the 20th century, achieving the honorific title “King of the High Cs”.

Mary Perkins – On Stage – i vincenti si riconoscono alla partenza

Mary Perkins – On Stage – i vincenti si riconoscono alla partenza

Mary Perkins “On Stage” al Giugno 27  del 1957 – a solo quattro mesi dalla partenza – veniva già pubblicata su 59 quotidiani statunitensi più 12 in giro per i mondo. Ma come dice il sottotesto “potrebbero essere di più al momento che leggete questo annuncio”. Un risultato ragguardevole, seppur in anni nei quali il fumetto quotidiano faceva ancora vendere copie, considerando che Leonard Starr non veniva da un passato di personaggi già famosi e di autore conosciuto al grande pubblico come poteva essere per Alex Raymond (Rip Kirby) o Milton Caniff (Steve Canyon). E a questo elenco si deve aggiungere “il Giorno” in Italia e Paris-Jour in Francia.  Oltre a vari magazine europei come “Modes de Paris” dove viene pubblicata col titolo “Adorable Marie”. In Italia diventa, sul Giorno, Mary Atkins.
