Artist John Lane and writer J. Harvey Bond worked on The Good Guys, a revamped version of the Vic Flint detective strip, from 1965 to 1967.
Originally a run-of-the-mill detective strip, Vic Flint first appeared in 1946 with art by Ralph Lane (John Lane's father) and stories by a host of writers working under the pseudonym Michael O'Malley. Ralph Lane left the strip in 1950 and was succeeded by various artists including Dean Miller and Art Sansom. In an effort to combat flagging sales, the NEA vastly revamped the strip, transforming it into a gag strip and renaming it The Good Guys in 1965. The strip ceased publication in 1967.
J. Harvey Bond (1904-1971), a pseudonym for writer Russ Winterbotham, penned a number of pulp crime novels in the 1950s and 1960s, including Murder Isn't Funny (1958), Kill Me With Kindness (1959) and If Wishes Were Hearses (1961). Winterbotham also published many western and science fiction titles under his own name.
The Lane & Bond Cartoons collection contains 41 original Sunday cartoons from the comic strip The Good Guys (1966). Sunday cartoon: traces of graphite, opaque white, brush, pen and ink on illustration board, approx. 19 x 25 in.
Cartoons are in chronological order.
