Whiz Comics (1940) #49
#I was so charmed by this interaction with this one-off character#that I almost didn’t notice that he and Captain Marvel were talking through a broken window#I’ve said before that I really like the way Otto Binder writes the one-off characters in Captain Marvel stories#what I haven’t said before is that I think it pairs really well#with C.C. Beck’s art philosophy of never drawing anything more than necessary#like earlier in this issue we saw this guy’s work space and his piano is like falling apart and held together by pieces of scrap#there’s a mouse that lives in an old can on top of it#and his piano bench is a wooden soap box#there are these other characters we only see for one panel#and they’ve got a proper piano bench#but there piano has a radio on top of it#and clothes and pawn tickets pinned to the side of it#these are the kinds of details that C.C. Beck determines to be what’s necessary#and it fleshes out the world really well without ever distracting from the story#I don’t agree with C.C. Beck’s approach as a hard rule#like I’ve definitely enjoyed comics with very ornate backgrounds#but I think he executed it very well#and I also have to respect that he thought of comics as something worth having strong opinions about#(I’m not actually that well-versed in his writings about comics yet#but it’s my current understanding that he did think of it as a hard rule)#fawcett comics#billy batson#my posts#comic panels
