Fred Fox was an American writer and cartoonist, born as Frederick Louis Fox in New York. He was involved in the creation of Charlie Plumb's 'Ella Cinders' strip for the Metropolitan Newspaper Service since the 1920s. He took over the writing of the strip anonymously in 1940 and assumed complete control between 1945 and 1961, leaving the artwork during the final year of his tenure to Roger Armstrong.
This long run of the long-running comic strip "Ella Cinders" (1925-1961) is by writer Fred Fox and artist Roger Armstrong, and represents the closing years of the strip. The main character, Ella, was modeled on silent film actress Colleen Moore, and retained her 1920s look while other characters reflected the period in which they were drawn. Also included are 31 "tryout" strips for a never-syndicated strip "Perilous Pauline" which indicate potential editorial changes. Both strips manifest frequent use of almost pristine Zip-A-Tone, a material used to add texture to simple line art.

Six pages from the graphic novel Ghetto Brother, written by Julian Voloj and drawn by Claudi Ahlering. These pages are from a graphic novel about Benny Melendez, who was a major gang leader in the 1970s (and the inspiration for the charismatic leader in the film "The Warriors"), and who later discovered his Jewish heritage. The pages focus primarily on NYC in the 1970s and on religion.

"William Victor 'Bill' Gropper (December 3, 1897 – January 3, 1977), was a U. S. Cartoonist, painter, lithographer, and muralist. A committed radical, Gropper is best known for the political work which he contributed to such left wing publications as The Revolutionary Age, The Liberator, The New Masses, The Worker, and The Morning Freiheit… Following World War II, Gropper traveled to Poland to attend the World Congress of Intellectuals for Peace of 1948 in Wroclaw… Due to his involvement with radical politics in the 1920s and 1930s, Gropper was called before the House Un-American Activities Committee in 1953… Gropper's alienation was accentuated when on March 24, 1911 he lost a favorite aunt in the Triangle Shirtwaist Factory fire… Afterwards, he decided to pay tribute to the Jews who died in the Holocaust by painting one picture on the theme of Jewish life each year. " (Wikipedia, 2017)

Hamlin, V.T.: Alley Oop, 1935-04-07
In order to create the plates for four-color printing, hot lead was poured into pressed-paper molds (known as a matrix or a flong), cooling so quickly that there was no time for the matrix to burn. It is extremely rare for one of these one-use-only molds to survive. This matrix, dated April 7 and marked "BLUE," was used for the Sunday "Alley Oop" strip published for April 7 1935 (see p. 37, Alley Oop, The complete Sundays, volume 1, 1934-1936; PN6728.A45 H365 2014g, FOLIO) (donated by Douglas D.

Syndicate: Hearst Newspapers. Different dates given on Heritage and noted on the comic itself. Back side: Mr. R. L. Woods, Amour and Co. Union Stock Yards, Chicago, Ills-"; "From Ed Mack"; Adv. Dept.
If Mack's signed work resembles Bud Fisher's Mutt and Jeff, that's because Mack spent more time ghosting the Fisher strip -- both as a substitute, while Fisher was estranged from one syndicate, and as a formal assistant after Fisher had reclaimed the trademark and moved it to Hearst. Mack excelled on his own, additionally, especially with Willie Push, an upbeat portrayal of a hard-working salesman. As pun-titles go, Willie Push is right up there with Franklin Collier's signature character, Otto Grow. Ink over graphite on Bristol board, with light watercolor tinting. Image area, 13.5" x 5".
