Gil Kane/Ralph Reese


Wally Wood is generally thought of as having been an excellent inker for the work of the great Gil Kane. Today over at DIVERSIONS OF THE GROOVY KIND (which glitches my PC for some reason lately but it's still worth it) you can see what I believe to be the only example of Kane being inked by former Woodworker (and a wonderful stylist in his own right) Ralph Reese veru much in the style of his mentor. The story is "The Eavesdropper" from DC's FORBIDDEN TALES OF THE DARK MANSION # 13 in 1973. Thanks, Groove!

  1. Hi, Long time lurker, first time commenting. Cool! Thanks for the link. perfect for a mid-Friday the 13th diversion. Check out Journey into Mystery #2 for another Gil Kane/Ralph Reese gig, with uncredited assists by none other than Neal Adams.

  2. What kind of glitches, BookSteve? If there's something I can do on my end to make it run better, I'll certainly give it the old college try!

  3. Ralph Reese also inked Conan 17 by Kane, their only feature-length collaboration.

  4. Looks like Wayne Howard inks, the stiffest of the Wood want to be's.

  5. NOT Ralph Reese but rather (as someone else pointed out) Wayne Howard. Fascinating pairing, but not Reese...
