Today in Comics History, October 15: Happy birthday, Bob Fujitani!

Born on this day in 1921: comics artist and writer Bob Fujitani, who drew for Avon (Eerie Comics), Dell (Four Color, Turok, Son of Stone, King of the Royal Mounted), Western/Gold Key (Boris Karloff Thriller, Lassie, March of Comics), Harvey (Speed Comics, Green Hornet Comics), Lev Gleason (Lovers' Lane, Crime Does Not Pay, Desperado), Marvel/Atlas (Strange Tales, Two Gun Kid, Astonishing, Adventures into Weird Worlds), and more, including drawing the Rip Kirby daily and ghostwriting the Flash Gordon strip. He's the co-creator of Doctor Solar, Man of the Atom for Gold Key and Captain Truth in Cambridge House's Gold Medal Comics*!

*There's a couple sources that claim the artist co-creator of Captain Truth is Mac Raboy, but hey, it's Bob Fujitani's birthday, so today we ignore those.

Happy birthday, Bob!
