Pete Riss (1906?-62?) long thought to have worked on only one Superman story, has now been identified by Joe Desris as the artist on 5 stories, all produced in a very short period of time in 1943. The most famous of these is probably "Meet the Squiffles", a Jerry Siegel penned story about an Imp from another dimension named Ixnayalpay and his effect on Adolph Hitler. He may possibly have also done a short stint on the daily newspaper strip.
Riss had a slick crisp inking style (showing 500 of 1152 characters). |
