One defining characteristic of much of the very earliest comic art (up to about 1942) is its similarity to newspaper comic art, often to the point of imitation. A lot of it tends to be either illustrational art (Moldoff for instance) or cartoonish art, either of the bigfoot school or the slightly more realistic style cartoonists like Chester Gould worked in. It took awhile -- and talents like Eisner and Kirby -- to really help comic books find their own styles. One of the things I love about the early Golden Age is how few standards and "rules" there were for what was acceptable. Things were much tighter and institutionalized by the EC era.
