Golden Age Legend Bellman Appears in Indie Comics Magazine #3

 

A story by Golden Age legend Allen Bellman, who worked on Captain America in 1942, will appear in Indie Comics Magazine #3, announced Editor Gary Scott

Beatty. Indie Comics Magazine #3 is scheduled for preorder in Diamond Comic Distributors’ August 2011 Previews catalog and available ONLY through Previews.

 

Bellman became a staff artist at Timely and, while still a teenager, drew backgrounds for Syd Shores’ Captain America in 1942. He later worked on The

Patriot, The Destroyer, The Human Torch, Jap Buster Johnson and Jet Dixon of the Space Squadron, All Winners Comics, Marvel Mystery, Sub Mariner Comics, Young

Allies and many more.

 

Let’s Play Detective was Bellman’s comic book creation. He also contributed to Atlas pre-Code horror, crime, war and western titles.

 

In the ’50s Bellman moved to work for the South Florida Sun-Sentinel. He is also a photographer whose work has appeared on hundreds of books and in museum

exhibits. He can still be seen at conventions and still accepts commissions. In 2007 he received the Inkpot Award for Outstanding Achievement in the Comic Arts

at the San Diego Comic-Con International.

Bellman’s Indie Comics Magazine story is his first new comic book work in 50 years, said Terry Cronin of 3 Boys Productions, the publisher who provided the

story. “We’re lucky to be able to offer this in print,” said Beatty. “This is the first time this has appeared in pamphlet form.”
