You are certainly correct and I had I looked closer I might have noted that as I actually have that issue!It certainly does LOOK like Gray's work, though, doesn't it? In fact, the site where I found these pages had it labelled as Gray Morrow from a CLASSICS ILLUSTRATED adaptation of the story of ALADDIN! Never realized Dominguez looked so much like Gray, especially at this early stage in his career as this is listed as one of his first US pieces. Thanks, Martin!
Alan Kupperberg, artist and friend of Gray Morrow, has gone on to a successful artistic career at Marvel, DC and NATIONAL LAMPOON (amongst many other venues) and now he's available for personal private commissions! For more details you can contact Alan directly at:
First published in 1968 (I was 9!), I have been writing professionally part-time for more than two decades. I have been freelancing for various authors, editors and publishers for the past three years on the behind-the-scenes tasks of writing.
That's actually Dell's The Wonders of Aladdin movie adaptation, from Four Color 1255 (as numbered in the top margins). The artist is Luis Dominguez.
