Charles Lutwidge Dodgson (pen name Lewis Carroll) (27 January 1832
- 14 January 1898) was an English writer best known for "Alice's
Adventures in Wonderland" and its sequel, "Through the
Looking-Glass, and What Alice Found There". After his family moved
from Hungary to the USA, ALEX BLUM studied at the National Academy
of Design in New York. He eventually joined the Eisner-Iger shop,
and in 1939, he started illustrating 'Samson' and 'Eagle' for Fox.
In 1940 he illustrated 'Purple Trio', 'Neon' and 'Strange Twins'
for Quality Comics. In the same year, Blum started contributing to
Fiction House, illustrating 'Red Comet', 'Kaanga', 'Midnight' and
'Greasemonkey Griffin' among others. He was presumably also the
artist behind the pseudonym Armand Budd, that also drew for Fiction
House.
Alex Blum was a top artist for the Classics Illustrated series from
the early issues. He illustrated over 25 Classics and stood out for
his use of theatrical dramatics, which is probably why he
illustrated three of the five Shakespeare Classics. Alex Anthony
Blum retired in 1961 and died in 1969.
