old dick tracy strips? Other action serials from the 40s?
Is there a good compilation? I'm pretty sure most of them were cliched and repetitive
Read Wally Wood's stuff, i.e. the guy who drew that. So old ED horror comic compilations, THUNDER Agents, Cannon, etc. Wood's a guy who was big enough to have specific collections of his work.
If you're reading old comics for the writing you're going to have a bad time. Especially binging. These were meant to be read slowly across weeks. But that said, I wouldn't say early Dick Tracy is that repetitive-that said being a daily comic strip the paneling isn't as innovative as a sunday strip or a comic.
That's cool, I'll check it out. I do remember Sally Forth, but that is just a booba comedy.

Cannon is his best work, it's the most action packed and sexy packed comic I've ever read.
looks good
cool
Dick is not really well drawn enough to have this effect, I suggest Buz Sawyer, Rip Kirby, and yeah Steve Canyon
You mean actual storyboarding? A lost art, now that everyone is just tracing the first result from Google Images, and spamming decompression until it's just two people staring at each other.
Anything by Alex Toth, Wally Wood, Will Eisner, Bernard Krigstein, or Jim Steranko.
More recent artists are Steve Rude and Paul Chadwick. Probably Scott McCloud.
Specific books are Ms. Tree, or Osamu Tezuka's "MW".
Eisner's Spirit, the Eisner stuff post WW2, the stuff Kitchen Sink reprinted. The early material is very primitive.
Ms Tree was by the then-current team on the Dick Tracy newspaper strip, and served as an outlet for all the ideas they had that were considered too violent, sexual, or controversial for the dailies. Like a mobster called "Little Jesus", who ends up crucified in an alleyway.
There's a hilarious four-page letter from Alex Toth reaming out Steve Rude for being a no-talent little bastard, it's basically just Toth having a fit, Rude was light years above his competition, but I think Toth was about as coherent as a pitbull in a spin dryer and would have told Leonardo Da Vinci the same thing at that point.

I just looked this up and it's amazing. Toth rakes him across the coals and he's NOTwrong in his observations he just expresses them viciously.

Interesting.
Jaime Hernandez kind of followed that tradition too.
Flash Gordon, the 50s series.
That's what comics were like in the pre-Code era.

Adam Warren, despite the manga affectation, is a graduate of the Kubert School, and knows his fundamentals.
Other good strips with the old skills on display are Hugo Pratt's Corto Maltese, and Doug Wildey's Rio.
Check out Darwyn Cooke's work. Also 100 bullets.

What?
Ben Day
Wouldn't those be applied by zippotone in this time? Why not just "zip"?
Isn't screentone just black ben day dots you can stick down?
So what was it before screentone? Just a by-product of the scanning process?
I was born in 1995. There is a wide gap in my knowledge of printing between Gutenberg and the Dot Matrix.
Ben Day dots are very old. Late 19th century. Screentone came in the early 20th. Earliest I've seen is in some 20s newspaper strips.
There's Letraset, but I think that's just an off-brand Zip-a-tone. there's the stuff that rubs off onto the paper like carbon paper, and there's the stuff you cut with a scalpel and stick on the paper.
And there's Duo-tone, that's two different patterns printed on art paper in two different invisible inks, and you use two different clear chemicals to make them visible, or mix them to get an interference pattern like crosshatching.
Ben day dots refer to the printing process for colors itself. Screen/zipatone/halftone is what was used for shading. Zipatone usually, but not always, was mainly used for black and white stuff. Ben Day dots are what gave color comics their color.

Jose Munoz' Alack Sinner had really strong storyboarding, but Munoz can kind of possess other artists, like he did with Frank Miller and Keith Giffen. Pretty much destroyed Giffen's career, you can't even see his own style any more.
Wasn't Giffen's previous style derived from Kirby?
Funny enough Miller actually seethed that people started copying him.
The James Bond strip
Check out Al Williamson's stuff. Secret Agent X-9, Star Wars, and Flash Gordon.
