Al Kilgore
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Al Kilgore was an artist who has worked as a cartoonist and filmmaker. He was awarded the National Cartoonist Society Special Features Award for 1983 for his Elvis the Paper Doll Book. He drew the crest for the Laurel and Hardy club The Sons of the Desert and was artist on the short-lived Rocky and Bullwinkle comic strip.
Kilgore appeared as an actor in Louis McMahon's serial parody Captain Celluloid vs. the FIlm Pirates. This four-part, semi-professional production paid homage to Republic Pictures and its adventure serials, while kidding the antique-movie subculture of the 1960s. (Kilgore himself was an avid movie buff.)
