Action Bob? Does Ed have the answer?
Earlier we had a post ‘What happened to Action Bob?’ wherein – besides introducing a fine comic artist – I bewailed the lack of any information as to his or her identity. Well, through the magic of the internet, step forward Spencer Klein, another fan of the artist who sent me a message to say that the artist’s name is Brian Wilcox or B.Wilcox as he signed himself.
The free San Fransisco and Bay Area magazine that Brian Wilcox’s work appeared in was Harpoon magazine which lasted 3 years in the beginning of the nineties. Spencer, whose brother worked on the magazine, told me that he has lost touch with Brian but that he was allowed to make up a comic book of his work from the magazine provided it remained not-for-profit.
As an extension of that permission, I offer another B.Wilcox strip featuring his most enduring character Ed. Here is “Ed explains it all for you”
