John Lindermayer (11 Jun 1915 New York, NY to 23 Jul 1972 San Diego, Ca)
is an interesting lost figure in the world of early comic books.
in comic books from 1935 to 1940. As far as we know, his first commerical comic book work was for Wheeler-Nicholson in the pre-DC comics - NEW FUN COMICS #1, where he wrote and drew OSWALD THE RABBIT and PELION AND OSSA. In 1936, he went to work for the Harry 'A' Chesler shop, working on various strips, mainly for Centaur; before moving to the Eisner-Iger shop for the slightly more high profile work for Quality and Fox. Not that these strips were more memorable. To be honest, if it wasnt for those strips in the "first" DC comic, he would be even more forgotten.
did he stay in NY? join the military? go west as a young man? die while visiting California? I dunno. do you?
