 TwoMorrows Publishing - Alter Ego #10 - Dick Ayers Interview
DICK AYERS: I saw a poster-Burne Hogarth [artist of the Tarzan strip] was up on 89th Street, at a new school he started, Cartoonists and Illustrators School.

AYERS: And at the same time as we're talking about all that work I did with Stan and Vin, there was work with Al Fago up at Charlton.

 Don Markstein's Toonopedia: The Ghost Rider
He dressed the same, used the same gimmicks, and was even drawn by the same artist — Dick Ayers, whose spectacular rendering had made the original version perhaps the most visually striking comic book hero of the decade.
Ayers (who had also drawn The Human Torch for Marvel and would later do Jonah Hex for DC Comics) reprised his 1950s role as penciller, with Vince Colletta (whose work was seen throughout the industry in subsequent years) doing the inks.
Or it may have been because of a lackluster appearance — Ayers had truly shone the first time around, but this time he was saddled with an inker who was rapidly becoming notorious for cutting corners and reducing art to a style-less blob.

 TheFourthRail.com - Snap Judgments   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-09)
Some of the features are a bit on the slight side, notably the one-joke Dick Hammer strips, but most of the stories are very engaging, and the lead story, a twisted bit of pulp fiction with a '50s monster movie science twist, is worth the price of admission all by itself.
The central gag, that Dick Hammer is a conservative and also kind of a dick, isn't all that funny, and the liberal cliches that he runs up against aren't real funny either.
The other common feature is actually inked by Silver Age inker Dick Ayers, and his inks serve to transform Wisnia's style into something that could easily have come out of one of those Lee/Kirby monster comics.

 Sgt. Fury and his Howling Commandos #1-13
Also noteworthy is the inclusion of Gabe Jones, a historical anacronisim as intergration was still a war away for the U.S. Army, but a strong statement of racial harmony by the creative team, one that brought it vocal criticism from the still segergrated South of the 1960's.
Ayers would distinguish himself as the longest running artist to work on a Nick Fury title and served as penicler with only brief interruption until its final original issue.
An interview with Dick Ayers however contests that story; Ayers states that it was his idea to make Juniper's replacement English with an umbrella and Lee's idea to pattern him after David Niven.

Not the best of issues, but considering this is the only normal western comic on the stands today, it is still a breath of fresh air, even when the stories aren't top-notch.
The surprise of the volume are the stories done by Dick Ayers, who produced the majority of the stories presented here.
Ayers is mostly remembered today as an inker, but he was also a strong penciller, and when inking his own work, produced excellent comics that echo the style of the late 40s and 50s.
