Recently, some unpublished romance pages have turned up on the public market. Katz drew these pages for the DC Comics romance line. Dorothy Woolfolk (a former cartoonist) was the editor there at the time. The pages were stamped with the date 1971.
Throughout his career, Katz left many of his projects unfinished. His passion to create more art always led him on to new avenues of expression. Here are some of his unfinished works.
In 1978, Katz drew a comic strip written by sci-fi author Tom Scortia. The strip only lasted a few weeks. It ran in the North East Bay Independent and Gazette newspaper. Here are a few samples of the strip.
One of Jack's many unfinished projects is his graphic novel Eagles. This was Jack's tribute to the Golden Age of Hollywood, an epic story about the motion picture industry. As he briefly lived in Hollywood, Jack has a special place in his heart for the mythmakers of the silver screen.
A few pages have been drawn out, along with a cover layout. A story outline has been written. And Jack continues to draw sketches of the characters for the story. In his spare time, Jack continues to dream and draw his ideas for the story.... if only he had the time to finish what surely would be a compelling masterpiece. |
