Cliff Merritt Sets the Record Straight #NN - Al Williamson art & cover

Al Williamson

8. Cliff Merritt Sets the Record Straight v1 #NN (no number), 1965? - Retiring after 50 years, engineer Cliff Merritt educates younger people about the history of railroading and the positive impact of unions. This giveaway comic was distributed and produced by the Brotherhood of Railroad Trainmen based in Cleveland. Within its typical middle-class American setting, the story is conversational in tone and brilliantly portrayed by Al Williamson. The artist takes the mundane subject and infuses the tale with greater interest and empathy. The layouts and pacing are lively and avoid repetition. Williamson inks his own superlative pencils, although some sources give partial credit to Angelo Torres. This story was later reprinted in the book Al Williamson Forbidden Worlds. This is 1 of 1 Cliff Merritt Sets the Record Straight issues by Williamson. /// Top 10 Williamson comics
