D Con '73 Cover by Dan Adkins
No, not the pest control poison, but the Dallas comic con progress report (what's a progress report? "we are really getting serious about having a comic convention...read all about it"). I guess the most important thing about this great cover is: I have no idea if any or all of it is a swipe, and if so, no idea where from. Speak'n of which, this all started in the not-so-distant, when Russ told us the great Dynamo fanzine cover I'd posted was right from a Doc Savage paperback cover. So here's a Dan Adkins Doc Savage, from Steranko's Comixscene #1 (Adkins was everywhere for a NY minute), and I'm wonder'n if that's a swipe (if so, hopefully from a Wally Wood Dynamo)
Ramrod by Wally Wood
As a tyke, I sat on Roy Rogers' great horse, Trigger. Thirty-five years after that, I calmed my horse and then my wife's rearing horse in a thunderstorm. Other than that, though, not much horse interactions, but I sure dig 'em in the comics, weather it's Kirby in Asgard or Gil Kane in a fantasyland

Tilt'n At Windmills With Dennis Fujitake
This is a real shot in the dark, but I'm wondering if that first image is Fujitake. It's a cropped photo (one of several) for an ad selling New Con 72. I can't see a sig, and then a buncha 71 and 72 Fujitakes, finish'n with a cropped photo of an ad Dennis did himself, in 1972. These drawings would be done first come, first served, for 6 bucks
The Quest For Steve Ditko Part III
Okay, this was originally in the Sci-Fi magazine Questar #3, but not this version. I don't even know which comic it was reprinted in, cause I just found this in a sleeve of onea my many binders. If I did have Questar #3, this would be six big pages in a crisp black 'n white (print'n is pretty sharp on here, too)

A Space Pirate Mystery by Howie Chaykin
Okay, I'm the first to say Iron Wolf rules and Cody Starbuck drools, but this OTHER Chaykin space pirate is pretty right-on, also. Now, about his lost treasure, I can't find out where that last image is from
