Timeline

1922

Robert Bartow Lubbers (January 10, 1922 – July 8, 2017) was an American comic strip and comic book artist best known for his work on such strips as Tarzan, Li'l Abner and Long Sam.

Born Robert Bartow Lubbers in 1922, he began as an illustrator for his school newspaper.

In his teens, he played trombone in a big band five nights a week while studying during the day with George Bridgman and other instructors at the Art Students League.

He entered the comic book field when he was 18 years old, as he recalled:

For Centaur (aka the Comics Corporation of America), Lubbers drew such features as the Arrow, Reef Kincaid, Red Riley and the Liberty Scouts.

1942

After Centaur folded in 1942, he signed on as art director at Fiction House, where he drew Firehair in Rangers Comics, Camilla in Jungle Comics, Señorita Rio in Fight Comics, Captain Wings in Wings, plus such features as Space Rangers, Rip Carson, Flint Baker and Captain Terry Thunder.

Remembering his first, pre-World War II employment at Fiction House, Lubbers recalled "a young teenager who'd come in now and then to show a little sample book he'd made up called Panther Lady. We could see this kid had the right stuff. He had no luck selling it to Fiction House, but it was just as well. Frank Frazetta has become a glittering star in the world of fine art."

After World War II, he returned to comic books.

1950

Fiction House "welcomed me back and features and covers poured out until 1950, when my mentor Ray Van Buren led me to UFS and Tarzan and NCS membership."

In 1950, he began his association with Tarzan, continuing on that strip for the next four years.

In addition to DC Comics' "The Vigilante" feature in Action Comics, he drew Westerns for Pines (Standard/Nedor) comics in the 1950s.

1954

In 1954, he first did work at the Al Capp studio and entered, as he put it, Capp's "star-studded world of movers and shakers".

1959

He began drawing The Saint in 1959, and he also worked on Big Ben Bolt.

Frank Godwin's Rusty Riley was running in more than 150 newspapers when Godwin died of a heart attack in 1959 at his home in New Hope, Pennsylvania.

The final Rusty Riley strips were drawn by Lubbers, who recalled, "In 1959, Frank Godwin, the artist who did Rusty Riley, died. Sylvan Byck at King Features asked if I'd do the last two weeks in Godwin's style to end the series. I admired his book illustrations and was honored to have the privilege to do it."

1960

In 1960–1967, he drew Secret Agent X-9 (as "Bob Lewis"), and he contributed to Li'l Abner during the 1970s.

1967

Lubber's own strips were Robin Malone (for NEA from 1967 through May 1970) and Long Sam, created by Al Capp and syndicated by United Feature Syndicate from 1954 to 1962.

Although Long Sam was initially written by Capp, who soon turned the duties over to his brother, Elliot Caplin, Lubbers eventually assumed the writing duties himself in the strip's final phase.

Long Sam was, like Li'l Abner, a hillbilly strip, though based on a female character.

The title character, Sam, was a tall, voluptuous, naive mountain girl who had been raised in a hidden valley away from civilization by her Maw, who hates men and wishes to protect her daughter from them.

The stories deal with Sam's inevitable discovery of the world and its discovery of her.

Lubbers concluded Robin Malone in an ambiguous manner that left the survival of the protagonist unresolved.

1978

He briefly drew comic books for Marvel Comics including work on The Defenders #61 (July 1978) and The Human Fly #16–17 (December 1978 – January 1979).

1980

Lubbers is sometimes mistakenly said to have drawn for DC Comics during the 1980s.

A young inker named Bob Lewis did work for DC during that period, but he was not Lubbers using a pseudonym.

1998

In 1998, Lubbers was honored with the at Rome's Expo Cartoon Festival.

2001

2002

2016

2017

Lubbers died on July 8, 2017, at the age of 95.
