Bob Lubbers (born January 10, 1922) is an American comic strip and comic book artist best known for his work on such strips as ''Tarzan'', ''Li'l Abner'' and ''Long Sam''. ==Biography== Born Robert Lubbers in 1922, he began as an illustrator for his school newspaper. In his teens, he played trombone in a big band five nights a week while studying during the day with George Bridgman and other instructors at the Art Students League. He entered the comic book field when he was 18 years old, as he recalled: :My pal Stan Drake and I left Bridgman's life class one day and marched down to Centaur and sold the comic mag features we'd created. Before long I was doing features at Fiction House until the War.〔(National Cartoonists Society: Bob Lubbers )〕 For Centaur (aka the Comics Corporation of America), Lubbers drew such features as the Arrow, Reef Kincaid, Red Riley and the Liberty Scouts. After Centaur folded in 1942, he signed on as art director at Fiction House, where he drew Firehair in ''Rangers Comics'', Camilla in ''Jungle Comics'', Señorita Rio in ''Fight Comics'', Captain Wings in ''Wings'', plus such features as Space Rangers, Rip Carson, Flint Baker and Captain Terry Thunder. Remembering his first, pre-WWII employment at Fiction House, Lubbers recalled "a young teenager who'd come in now and then to show a little sample book he'd made up called ''Panther Lady''. We could see this kid had the right stuff. He had no luck selling it to Fiction House, but it was just as well. Frank Frazetta has become a glittering star in the world of fine art."〔 After WWII, he returned to comic books. Fiction House "welcomed me back and features and covers poured out until 1950, when my mentor Ray Van Buren led me to UFS and ''Tarzan'' and NCS membership."〔 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Bob Lubbers」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
