STARR TRIBUTE

I did this art as a tribute to Dale Messick's 1940 comic strip creation, Brenda Starr Reporter.  It will be printed as a postcard for the Brenda Starr Fan Club members and . . . Covered, the art blog!
  I was fortunate enough to meet Dale Messick several times, and she was an inspiration! I grew up reading her comic strip in the Daily News and Newsweek.
  Katy Keene artist John Lucas told me Dale's comic strip inspired Bill Woggon to create Katy Keene as a comic book in 1945.  I have already drawn homage pieces for Woggon's characters.  So this is a new addition to my postcard art set. What a fun history!
