Within the confines of 1960s comics storytelling, he was able to do the equivalent of movies' psychological Westerns, and his stories had heart and humanity that clearly was coming from a very real place. He wrote and drew morality tales every bit in the vein of Sterling Silliphant, Paddy Chayefsky and other mass-culture writers of that period, albeit for a younger audience. Larry only occasionally gets his due, and I hope he gets it more and more as we gain perspective on how good his "Rawhide Kid" really was.Frank Lovecehttp://franklovece.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2252129938551938631.post-24998821000490968262013-01-23T08:36:17.873-05:002013-01-23T08:36:17.873-05:00So, how confident are you that Earl Dill and the h...So, how confident are you that Earl Dill and the hombrés in Germany and New Brunswick were real, and not letters written by editorial staff? lately I've been more and more fascinated by the notion of staff-written LoCs in lettercols.
