Covers that L.B. Cole built!
The L.B. Cole Cover Editions! The breaks for artists and or the working man in comics is much different today than yesteryear. Built on the proverbial shoulders of those who took their talent seriously and for something as forthcoming as funny books, or so it seemed among their peers. It takes in the breathing room among newsstands, wares, and all-around peoples and cultures of roots, in all places and kinds, not formerly known but with what wells we ourselves sprang from, towards, and the ambitions we can still instill within our motives today of comics, comics, comics!
I imagine also the expression of music during these times and age, where the freedom was openly seen for what it was, and the progression towards what today seems indulgent still among the histories of writers, artists, and believers of storytelling.
L.B. Cole! Those covers that span a generation over, which is now considered a golden age, but not without hard times and the continuum of sequential art by illustrators of comics, comics, comics. By using the ephemera at the time to illustrate and paint a bigger picture, that in turn brought in kids to adults. Reading and conversing over common themes, it was meant as some aspirations but took these comics to new heights with culture among the backdrop of society. Patriotism is within each his own, of America, the pursuit of happiness, and the common hopes among peoples of character to instill those toward the future as a common goal. We can look back to ascertain, but in the trenches of selling the American Dream we must always be sincere for the cause that instills freedom. Remembering it isn't free and call to mind those things with which supported our prosperity in our individual lives while illustrating it in nostalgia, decency and loving are neighbor as ourselves.
