Number 1284: All-old Ed Wheelan in All-New Comics

Leave a Comment
Ed Wheelan is one of the old-time cartoonists who had a career before entering the comic book field in the Thirties and Forties. Wheelan had a successful daily comic strip, Minute Movies, for several years. He came into comic books with the same bigfoot style he had used years before, even though it was old-fashioned. It evoked another era. That is the charm for me.

These two stories are from Harvey Comics' All-New Comics #'s 3 and 4 (1943). At the time Wheelan was also providing funny filler stories for DC's Flash Comics, and later when Max Gaines was bought out by DC and then founded EC Comics, Wheelan had a home there, also.**

Wheelan was born in 1888, and died in 1966.













*Hairy Green Eyeball showed a two-part Minute Movies continuity. Part One, and Part Two.

**I have shown three of his excellent Comics McCormick features from EC's Fat and Slat Comics:
Pappy's #892, Pappy's #630 and Pappy's #547
