Famous Cartoonist Button 08
Sol Brodsky. A
journeyman artist who created numerous stories and covers for
the Atlas line in the 1950's, Brodsky is perhaps best-known for
creating the earliest Big Boy Comics. He was Stan Lee's
production manager at Marvel Comics when he drew this self-portrait.
About the Buttons:
Pinback Jack issued
this "Famous Cartoonist Series" of self-portrait buttons
back in 1975. All of the participating cartoonists were
alive and created self-portraits specifically for this button
set. With very few exceptions, the images have not appeared elsewhere
in print. The buttons were distributed by Krupp Comic Works
and Phil Seuling. This set was originally announced as
52 buttons, and the alphabetical numbering reflects
that. However, two artists (Neal Adams and Rick Meyerowitz)
turned in their self-portraits late, after the first 52 had already
been designed. They were included in the set, but numbered 53
and 54 respectively, out of alphabetical sequence. Steve Krupp's
Curio Shoppe is now the exclusive source of the remaining limited
inventory.
All the color buttons in this set are metal
with clear celluloid covers, are 2.25 inches in diameter, and
have "safety" pinbacks. This button is listed for sale
as an individual, but we do offer the complete set as well.
