around 2003, i'd recalled reading in "letters of ayn rand" that king features serialized howard roark's architectural adventures as a kind of comic for syndicated papers between 1945-46... something which -- as an artist and the world's laziest objectivist -- positively blew my mind. sadly it would take another couple of decades for them to be available online, and even then in smudgy microfiche quality. anyway, i've edited down and posted most of them here for my own convenience.
unfortunately there are four missing installments, which may have appeared in the (color?) sunday supplement, and thus wasn't archived by the boneheaded powers that be back then because, y'know, they were only comics:
#12 - january 6 1946 - stoddard temple verdict
#18 - january 13 1946 - roark visits the wynand household?
#24 - january 20 1946 - toohey tears off his mask?
#30 - january 26 1946 - roark wins and builds wynand tower (grr)
also, apparently the ayn rand institute released a book of godwin's work called "the illustrated fountainhead" back in 1998, but i haven't been able to find it on abebooks nor amazon.
