First is how half a Conan appeared in Conan Classics #9, then how it originally appeared as the contents page for Savage Tales #3. Okay, about this title: for years, I've had three or often four K-pods of coffee (onea the reasons I dig all the coffee-stained artwork out there) by midday, every day. A while back, my wife noticed there was a milder coffee pod called Half-Caf, and she suggested I start drink'n that one, cause everytime I do a chore/project/job, it's always half-caffed

Four That Got Away by Frank Frazetta

Give Me Liberty by Steve Ditko
Recently had the one-year anniversary of wish'n I could see this entire little strip from the fanzine The Collector #29, and, viola (as Bugs Bunny always pronounced voila), here tis.

For me, it began on Friday, March 13th, 2020, when I was told to go home from work

Hopalong Cassidy by Gil Kane
Oh, my heck! Two names I been familiar with pretty much my whole life, but I never connected them (seven degrees of Kevin Bacon?}. Che cool that young Gil Kane drew the actor with silver hair and dark brows long before he himself had silver hair and dark brows. Yeah, yeah, his name is Savage and Cap'n Marvel had that look, too, I guess
