For years, I had always felt he played second fiddle to Milton Caniff and others, but Gould's art has such an idiosyncratic felling to it, you can never misplace him. You're right in comparing him to Ditko, because their art bounces like that.Rey Armenteroshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01280587122854524358noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2089733759263636022.post-18657870606189848532017-03-03T17:13:28.648-05:002017-03-03T17:13:28.648-05:00Michael, You can also order it from Chuck's we...Michael, You can also order it from Chuck's website (he's also on facebook)<br />http://www.chuckmccann.net/Nick Caputohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05096100224095280865noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2089733759263636022.post-34714440824686248922017-03-03T17:10:06.505-05:002017-03-03T17:10:06.505-05:00There is only one copy on Amazon but you might fin...There is only one copy on Amazon but you might find it elsewhere.

Chuck McCann was a favorite in my household as well, along with Captain Jack McCarthy, Paul Winchell, Soupy Sales, Sandy Becker, Claude Kirchner and all the rest. I'm still fascinated by the Paul Ashley puppets he worked with, one of a kind and memorable.<br /><br />I take it you have Chuck's account of those days , Chick McCann's Let's Have Fun!

Absolutely surreal of concept and execution!<br />Thank you so much for the nod to the brilliant Chuck McCann! I fondly remember his various shows on local NYC TV stations, and was one of the kids in 1962 who were very appreciative when he read the Sunday Funnies on live TV during the newspaper strike.<br />I liked the other kids 'show hosts of the day such as Sandy Becker, Officer Joe and Sonny Fox, but Chuck McCann was far and away the best of the bunch. The clever, creative, thoughtful and thought provoking things that was able to do with such frequency and consistent high quality on a very limited budget still amazes me. He made creative genius look effortless...and fun!<br /><br />IAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00263957025573611416noreply@blogger.com
