Count, you obviously love comical bookies, know your stuff, and state your case well. But...
(And again, with the premise that lots of this is taste.)
"Pretty much all the GA stuff I've read is dreary ... Most of it is written on a kindergarten level"
Folks running the biz then would have freely admitted they were writing for kids - but so were most of the classic fairy tale,and children's lit, writers for centuries; doesn't automatically make the stuff of no worth. The problem I have with much GA Timely/Marvel, is that it seems written BY kindergarteners, whereas most of National/DC's is at least coherent.
"and looks like a newspaper strip in style."
Since that means Segar's POPEYE, Gould's TRACY, Raymond's GORDON & X-9, Foster's TARZAN, Crane's WASH TUBBS & BUZZ SAWYER, etc., I don't see that as a failing?
"I can barely tolerate it."
Of course, the worst of it barely rises to the bad coloring book level. But most of even the BEST comic artists CRAVED to break into newspaper work - and some were lucky enough to, even if only as ghosts. Newspaper artists didn't swipe from comic art; it was always the reverse - and admitted!
I can only say that the best of the Siegel/Shuster shop's SUPERMAN; Jack Cole's PLASTIC MAN; Will Eisner's SPIRIT; Reed Crandall's BLACKHAWK; Mac Raboy's CAP. MARVEL JR.; the best of Simon & Kirby's GA work; Carl Barks' DONALD DUCK; the best of Finger & Robinson's BATMAN; much of the EC shop's work, etc., needs no apology that I can see?
To dismiss it all out of hand comes close to being analgaous to the thread elsewhere calling Silent Film "not Real Movies." And worst of all, closes off some dang satisfying reading!
Best,
-Craig W.
