Noel Sickles
I'm not sure where this ('60s?) Sickles illustration first appeared (can anyone help me out?).
One thing that's clear, though, is that Sickles continued to grow both in technique and in influence as an artist.
Just as his loose, noirish, chiaroscuro-based style made its big impact on Milton Caniff in the '30s (culminating in the styles of Alex Toth, Frank Robbins, Lee Elias and so many others), so this '60s style predates and sets the stage for many of today's indie cartoonists of what could be called the Fantagraphics/New Yorker school, any one of whom could have drawn the figure at the top of Sickle's illo.
