In part 3 of his reminiscences of Moe Gollub, Mark Kirkland talks about Moe's time on the east coast in Comic Book Land (Dell comics and Tarzan), Moe's years at Hanna-Barbera, and Moe hiring a young Cal Arts artist named Mark Kirkland to be his assistant.

What comes through is Moe Gollub's love of art and his passion for the work. (This made it hard on Mark when Moe was criticizing Mark's early layouts, because it's never easy to suffer under the lash of a volcanic and opinionated boss. But Mark survived quite nicely...)
What's amazing to me here is that even decades after the '41 Disney strike, old Disney hands were still suspicious of Gollub when he applied for work at H-B. Old grudges die hard.

Hello,
I have a painting signed by M. Gollub on the back, in 2 different spots. The painting is roughly 2' x 3'.
It is a black and white painting of8 American Indians on horses, running around, with lots of motion and character. The painting has a 1.5" red stained simple square frame.
This painting was left to me by my father, who said that he found it in an abandoned theater in Missouri.
I am wondering if anyone knows anything about this painting or what it might be a painting of?
Thanks for your help, please contact for pictures me via my email address:

Thanks,
Richard Buchanan
