"Comic bok grammar" may have been a typo, but an artist working under the name Bok did achieve significant success in early sci-fi and fantasy commercial art. His color work was pretty well known for use of an oil-based "glaze" technique involving layers of transparent, colored coatings over a base color to achieve luminous effects (learned the technique under Maxfield Parrish). I believe he was the very first recipient of the Hugo Award for sci-fi art.

Just posting that because I'm sleepy and it made sense at the time.
