Think'n About Beyond Time And Again by George Metzger

First is a dedication sketch George did in the front of a copy of the hardbound, and then I put up a panel from page 2 of the actual story cause the sketch mirrors the story panel.  In the sketch Seth, the hero, has a thought balloon that not only contained the dedication and artists' sig, but onea the were men of Doc Nameless is hang'n down from it!  Genius, methinks, cause I've never seen that use of a thought balloon.  The story panel has a word balloon coming from Seth as he sits and reads a scroll.  I also read stuff aloud when I'm all alone, and I've often wondered why...  I also dig the way Seth's foot is rest'n in shallow water.  If you've never been to the great sand dunes in southern Colorado, you should go at least once.  Medano Creek at the base of the dunes is a spring and summer phenom of shallow water on sand that is incredible to just walk through

Merry Christmas From Cap'n Marvel and John Fantucchio

What an amaz'n forgetter I am!  In the not-so-distant, I put up a cover of The Lone Ranger for the publication Cooper's Hero Hobby.  Lots of us had never seen it (ok, Russ and I had never seen it, and lots of folks came by to see it).  Then, I immediately forgot all about C'sHH!  Who knew big John had done another cover for them?  Also kinda cool that I now find it this timea year

Christmas Came Early With Art Cooper

Oh, my heck!  Art Cooper, the great Canadian fanzine artist of the early seventies' Spectrum fanzines, just recently bestowed an early Christmas present on me!  He found five drawings around his office that I've never seen (and if you search him on here, you'll know I've enjoyed a ton a "art by Art" in the wayback).  Crazy schedule around here, so here's onea the five, the possibly unseen try-out illo of Kadaver, that Art ended up illustrat'n in Orb magazines #4 and #5 (here's 4's splash).  More later!  But thanks so much, Art
