Dynamo The Poser by Wally Wood
So...this is just my way of yak'n about something I just discovered. In early 2001, I printed the last image off of ebay, the back cover of Gosh Wow #2. My color cartridge was shot, as you can see, but I knew nothing about computers (still pretty much status quo on that), and I had no idea I could just save the picture. If you remember Hans dealing with a computer in Zoolander, Owen Wilson nailed my character to a T. For fourteen years, I just left this crummy print in my binders cuz I assumed the back cover was a fancy print of something in THUNDER Agents or Dynamo, and I had all those. Today I leafed through all those with the binder opened and realized it had not been printed elsewhere. Gosh Wow! Now, after moments and moments of exhaustive research, I can tell you the fanzine was using Wally's Presentation Piece (third from last) as their back cover. If you know me, I quickly looked for Gosh Wow #2 all over the net, but nobody scans in the back cover!! Rhot-row, Shaggy! Now I have to obtain Gosh Wow #2, and I'm kick'n myself cuz I remember at least twice in the last decade seeing it in some box at some store and just flippin on past it because of what I found to be a weak Bode cover
