Sal Buscema
Born in Abilene Texas in 1901, Roy Crane caught a freight train and wound up in New York City. After taking a cartoonist correspondence course, he landed a gig as the assistant of H.T. Webster at New York World. His first comic "Music to the Ear" got him noticed, and the strip "Wash Tubbs" made him famous. Next was his creation of "Captain Easy". Finally, in 1943 he went on to create "Buz Sawyer" for King Features Syndicate, which went on to run for forty years, even after his death in 1977. The strip featured the adventures of a young Navy Captain. In a short bio Mr. Crane wrote himself, he said that he had "a wife, 2 daughters, 2 grand sons, 2 orange groves, 3 assistants and ulcers". The fellow also had a penchant for drawing grown women getting spanked in his newspaper cartoons.Source: www.cartoon.org
