Illustration: Huckleberry Hound and Rocky & Bullwinkle Golden Books
We scanned Golden Books today… First up was Huckleberry Hound Builds A House. Published in 1959, this was one of the earliest Hanna Barbera books, and it’s one of the best. These H-B characters were beautifully designed and perfectly suited to the TV medium. This book was laid out by Harvey Eisenberg and painted by Al White.
Here is another TV cartoon related Golden Book by Ben De Nunez and Al White.
Rocky And His Friends is interesting because it depicts the characters in a very different way than they appeared in the TV series. White sees the characters as solid objects, not flat designs, and he renders them in a variety of different lighting situations. This book also has a nice balance of textures.

Inbetweens: Gene Hazelton’s Flintstones Comic Strip
My Facebook friend, animator Donald Parmele tells me these strips are by Harvey Eisenberg. Hazelton may have had some input since he was the Art Director of the Hanna Barbera strips.
