Video: The Creig Flessel 1998 Shoot Interview by David Armstrong

Just up via the Comic Book Historians, is this terrific interview with Golden Age Comic Book artist Creig Flessel. I was fortunate to know Creig (We were both members of the Berndt Toast Gang.) and he was a knowledgeable, friendly artist of great talent. So glad to see this 1998 interview. 

"David Armstrong interviewed Platinum and Golden Age great, Creig Flessel in 1998 on set at Long Island, New York about his early training in the Grand Central Art School, his entry into comic books in the mid 1930s with Vincent Sullivan on More Fun Comics for Major Malcolm Wheeler-Nicholson's National Allied Publications, his covers for Detective Comics, other artists like Leo O'Mealia, Bert Christman, Jerry Siegel and Joe Shuster, early Superman, depicting African American protagonists, why he left comic books for advertising at Johnston and Cushing, comic strips and his relationships with other comic book professionals. 

"Interview conducted, recorded and copyrighted to David Armstrong. Remastered, edited and postproduction by Alex Grand."
