"John Cullen Murphy (May 3, 1919 - July 2, 2004) was an American illustrator best known for his three decades of work on the Prince Valiant comic strip.
Big Ben Bolt: Murphy's art often depicted sports subjects. His boxing material unexpectedly led him into the comic strip field, something he had never previously considered. In 1950, writer Elliot Caplin (brother of cartoonist Al Capp) of King Features Syndicate asked Murphy to illustrate a boxing comic strip he was planning to write. Murphy accepted his invitation. The resulting daily comic strip, Big Ben Bolt, was launched in 1950 and ran until 1978. Murphy was the artist for the strip for its entire run. Murphy's strong interest in boxing and sports background made the strip a real knockout with his fans. His vast experience as an illustrator and cinematic approach made any possible situation or local seem realistic and effective. For his work on Big Ben Bolt and Prince Valiant, Murphy was honored with the National Cartoonists Society's Story Comic Strip Award in 1971 and again for Prince Valiant in 1974, 1976, 1978, 1984 and 1987. He received the Elzie Segar Award in 1983." (www.wikipedia.org) "Elliot Caplin (December 25, 1913 - February 20, 2000) was a comic strip writer best known as the co-creator (with Stan Drake) of The Heart of Juliet Jones. His name is sometimes spelled with one extra letter: Elliott A. Caplin. He was the younger brother of Al Capp, creator of Li'l Abner. Born in New Haven, Connecticut, Caplin graduated from Ohio State University in 1936. Beginning in 1937, he was employed as a writer for King Features Syndicate. He entered the comic book field as editor of True Comics for the Parents Magazine Institute. By 1940, he was an editorial director with the magazine Parents, leaving during World War II to serve with the Navy in the South Pacific. In the post-WWII years, he returned to Parents, continuing as an editor there until 1948. Caplin co-created the strips "Dr. Bobbs," Peter Scratch and Big Ben Bolt and served as writer for strips by others, including Abbie an' Slats, Long Sam and Little Orphan Annie. He founded the comic book publisher Toby Press, which operated from 1949 to 1955." (www.wiwkipedia.org) |

Resum : |
"Big Ben Bolt fue una tira de prensa escrita por Elliot Caplin, dibujada por John Cullen Murphy y distribuida por King Features Syndicate.
En 1950, el escritor Elliot Caplin (hermano del creador de Li'l Abner Al Capp) sugirió que Murphy ilustrase una tira de boxeo que tenía en mente. Ésta seguía las aventuras del boxeador y periodista Ben Bolt. Murphy fue el dibujante de Big Ben Bolt desde 1950 hasta 1978. Murphy ocasionalmente recurrió a ayudantes, incluyendo a Al Williamson (Flash Gordon), Alex Kotzky (Apartment 3-G), Neal Adams (Deadman), John Celardo (Tarzan) y Stan Drake (The Heart of Juliet Jones). En 1971, Murphy se hizo cargo del Prince Valiant, y Gray Morrow hizo lo propio con Big Ben Bolt, firmándola ya a partir del 1 de agosto de 1977. Big Ben Bolt finalizó en la primera mitad de 1978. En español, ha sido publicada de forma seriada en Tit-Bits (Argentina, años 40)1 y Chicos (España, 1952) y de forma monográfica por editorial Dólar y Ediciones Maisal. Murphy recibió el Premio de la National Cartoonists Society a la Mejor Tira de Prensa de 1971 por su trabajo en Big Ben Bolt y Prince Valiant." (www.wikipedia.org) |
