Dan Barry

Dan Barry was an American cartoonist. Beginning in comic books during the 1940s with Leonard Starr, Stan Drake and his brother Sy Barry, he helped define and exemplify a particular kind of "New York Slick" style. Barry's early comics work included Airboy, Doc Savage, Blue Bolt, as well as covers for the Captain Midnight comic book. In 1951 Barry revived the Flash Gordon daily strip, where different writers such as Harvey Kurtzman, Harry Harrison, Bob Kanigher, Sid Jacobson, Larry Shaw and Bill Finger contributed scripts. When artist Mac Raboy died in 1967, Barry assumed responsibility of the Flash Gordon Sunday strip also. In 1990, he left Flash Gordon.
