Actually, I was a fan of Lee Elias and I liked the work that he did on Tommy Tomorrow in the Showcase books.  On Adam Strange he could hardly be faulted for the story lines and it may not have been his idea to eliminate the very recognizable fin from Adam's headgear which was so much a part of his uniform...But if he WAS the guy who was responsible for it's removal then tarring and feathering him at his drawing board would have been a fitting punishment.

Lee Elias name has come up on the boards and this thread and is given a thumbs down by many and yet if you are aware of the back issue market he's sought after pretty solidly for his work at Harvey comics in the 1950's on things like Black Cat,Chamber of Chills,the many romance series,etc...including having produced a number of classic pre code covers that cost a mint today.

Nothing wrong with not liking someone's work of coarse but it is interesting from my perspective.

I like the fact that he apparently got under Fredrick Wetham's skin with his Black Cat books.  His Tommy Tomorrow work was very good, but no one could top Infantino on Adam Strange, and he didn't. 




I fully agree with you three fellows. I really liked Lee Elias' work on Harvey's Black Cat title and his work at DC on features such as Tommy Tomorrow, Cave Carson and Eclipso.  Following up on Carmine Infantino's work on Adam Strange was too tough a task though and I don't think Lee did very well with it at all.
