A couple of years ago I shared a longer run of Chris Winterbottom and Art Sansom's Chris Welkin Planeteer dailies with the mention that the whole early fifties daily run can be seen on ilovecomics. After the dailies, Sansom continued the strip as a Sunday only which ran until April 1965, which is about the point that the artist started his new funny comic The Born Loser, which brought him the succes he deserved. Although Chris Welkin was drawn in a completely different and realistic style, towards the end a stylization creeped into it that forshadowed his later cartoon style. I have a couple of those later years here, including what I believe to be the last Sunday. With that some of the earliest Born Losers.

What A Difference A Daily Makes

A Born Winner
Thursday Story Strip Day.
On the ilovecomix website there is a long run of Chris Welkin, Planeteer from Roy Thomas' private collection. I thought they only had the first few months (with a nice recollection by Roy), but on loking back they actually have all of the dailies from 1951 to 1954. After that, this remarkable strip by the later Born Loser artist Art Sansom was continued as a Sunday only strip. I will try and show more of those later on. But for now I have a large run of dalies of this strip from early 1953 to the end in 1954. And if you want to see them all (in an even better condition) you can go to www.ilovecomix.com.
