Go, Read: Profile Of Arthur Pinajian



The Armenian Reporter has a profile up of comic book artist Arthur Pinajian on the occasion of an exhibition of figurative work and landscapes discovered after his death a dozen years ago. Pinajian is depicted here as someone who was involved in the early days of comics and as the creator of the wonderfully odd Madam Fatal feature, and it's hard to deny any feature article writer the fun of pointing their readers in the direction of Madam Fatal's cross-dressing ways. A quick look at a comics biography of Pinajian, however, indicates he was involved in the early days on any number of projects and worked as late as the latter half of the 1950s on a Martin Goodman-published western or two. It also strikes me that Pinajian is often given credit for scripting, penciling and inking the stories he did for Centaur and Quality; I'm not used to see more than two credits on a single job for most creators back then.
