People ask me: where do you get all those scans? Well, anytime you see one in color I scanned it myself from something probably bought on Ebay over the last 15 years. Every once in a while, the Ebay seller makes such good scans I don't even have to buy his strips. I think I showed a run of Smokey Bear that way once, and here is a set of Mike Roy's Nero Wolfe Sunday strips from the same conscientious seller. I am glad I didn;t have to buy them, because this strip is quite in demand and fetched a good price without me joining in. The later Sundays were pencilled by Mike Sekowsky but I don't think it shows yet in these samples (possibly only in the last one).

Wolfe At The Door
Thursday Story Strip Day.
Lazy Thursday because of our King's birthday. Sometimes Ebay sellers scan their wares so well, that I don't even have to bother to buy them. Not as large as I would make them myself, but here is an early run of Mike Roy's Nero Wolfe. If you follow the link you'll see some of my own.

Mikefest
Thursday Story Strip Day
Here's another batch that came from my recent scanning activities witj a credit question. Mike Roy is credited with the creation of the short running comic strip version of novel detective Nero Wolfe. Original writer Rex Stout also lend his name to it, but it is doubtful he did more than have a look. After a year or so, Roy left the art to others, including Fran Matera and someone called Christiansen, but even before that he didn't do it all by himself. Mike Peppe has been mentioned as an inker and here in these pages (certainly the last three) I clearly see the hand of Mike Sekowsky.

Royal Performance
Thursday Story Strip Day.
I have shown a longer story form the start of this detective strip a couple of years ago, but here are a couple of the later months. Here's what Alan Holtz has in the credits:
Dailies
Mike Roy: 11/26/56 - 7/6/57
Pete Hoffman: 7/8/57 (signed fill-in strip)
Unsigned: 7/9 - 7/13/57 (does not appear to be any of the other artists)
Fran Matera: 7/15 - 8/24/57
Ed Herron and Jim Christiansen: 8/26/57 - 3/1/58
Note that Ed Herron, who may have been handling the writing chores from the beginning of the strip, didn't get credit until Christiansen came on board. Mike Roy recalled, however, that John Broome did the uncredited writing, and was replaced by Ed Herron. He also said that Mike Peppe did inking on the series (during Roy's tenure only I presume).
