MY FRIEND IRMA Comics








Here are some MY FRIEND IRMA comics by Dan DeCarlo, from the 1950's. We've had some here before. I think these might be different, but I'm not certain.


Reblogged from https://scottbrothers.files.wordpress.com/2008/08/irma21.jpg

 
 Stan Lee's name appears prominently on the first page, but only Stan Lee's.
 

 
 

 
 

 
 
Dan DeCarlo's name doesn't appear till the last page (third panel ). And that because he signed the artwork.

 
 




This one is credited to "Stan & Dan". Readers who designed Irma's outfits were also credited.


Stan didn't do it all. 'Nuff said.

"The Swingers" - JOSIE AND THE PUSSYCATS













I always liked JOSIE AND THE PUSSYCATS. Although I did think it was odd when I noticed that they were de-emphasizing the blonde, Melodie, in later stories. But in this particular story, the girls all more or less play second fiddle to the more or less bad guys, Alex and Alexandria. Art is by Dan DeCarlo, and originally published in 1984.

Dan DeCarlo Fashion Pages





Dan DeCarlo was the creator of JOSIE AND THE PUSSYCATS. Here are a couple of fashion pages he did for that comic book.


 
 
 




"Josie" was based on Dan DeCarlo's wife, who was also named Josie. Melodie is similar to MY FRIEND IRMA, which was another comic book that Dan DeCarlo had drawn.

SHOWGIRLS Page By Dan DeCarlo













A Dan DeCarlo page from SHOWGIRLS. SHOWGIRLS was a Marvel ( Atlas at that point ) comic book with all their pretty girl characters together-  Millie The Model, Sherry The Showgirl, Chili, Hazel, and My Girl Pearl. My Girl Pearl was actually their later version of "My Friend Irma" after they no longer called her by that name. Which presumably was to avoid having to pay to use the Irma name.







This story's signed by "Stan and Dan". Stan must have gotten to where he was feeling generous later on - they were only signed "Stan" to begin with.

JETTA #5









JETTA was a comic book Dan DeCarlo did for Standard/Better/Nedor in the same general period that he was working on MY FRIEND IRMA for Marvel. Later he would create JOSIE AND THE PUSSYCATS for the Archie Comics people.

Millie The Model #50
















This story was originally published in MILLIE THE MODEL #50 in January 1954. Art is by Dan DeCarlo. The story has Stan Lee's name on it and nobody else's, which is sort of typical for Stan Lee.
