Chuck Rogers

Stephen Cobert has provided the following information about this early work by Keith Giffen

In the summer of 1974, Montclair (New Jersey) State College published a copy of its art/humor magazine titled National Galumph. (The magazine was done in the style of the then-popular humor magazine, the National Lampoon.) Early in the magazine was a 14-page b&w comic titled Chuck Rogers Comics (Featuring the Original Legion of Super Assassins). The final page of this comic offering identified one "Keith Giffen" as the penciller for this work.

I contacted Giffen's art dealer and he confirmed that the Keith Giffen who worked on that magazine was in fact the same Keith Giffen who went on to be such a name in the comic book industry. (Keith did not in fact attend Montclair State, but did the work as a favor for a friend who did attend.)

Steve has has scans of the comic online:

Cover, Page 01, Page 02, Page 03, Page 04, Page 05, Page 06, Page 07, Page 08, Page 09, Page 10, Page 11, Page 12, Page 13, Page 14.

An early draft of the cover, found on the Editorial page of the magazine. Notable mainly because, if used, it would have given cover credit to Giffen's contribution.
