Daniel Barry, November 7, 1923- January 1997 was a cartoonist. Beginning in the 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 which dominated comics until the Marvel Revolution brought attention to the Jack Kirby style. This style was characterized by careful attention to lines and the clear delineation of textures. From 1947 - 48 he drew the Tarzan Comic Strip Daily, then in 1951 revived the Flash Gordon Comic Strip Daily. At different times science fiction writers Harry Harrison and Julian May both contributed scripts to the series. In addition, at various times during his tenure, he was assisted in his artwork by a number of artists including Bob Fujitani, Fred Kida and Frank Frazetta. He continued working on it until he took over the Sunday page when the artist working on it, Mac Raboy died. In 1990 he left Flash Gordon altogether.
