Description

A page from the great Stan Drake (capable of cute and sexy realism in Juliet Jones or a classic funny style in Blondie).
In this chapter of the series, the murder mystery takes place within the comic(con) scene with many cameos of various creators...!

And panel 3, which you can see also in a single image here, might be the most funniest self-irony-joke about us comicbook art collectors within our beloved hobby....

Interestingly, the "published" version differs from the original art exactly in this panel. From "wanna have cartoons all over the wall" to "collect comic strips", so already in a more insider talk language. Why I find this so interesting is not because of the long time in between the original French publication and a presumely different translation from French, as this final volume wasn't initally published in the US before Classic Comic Press took care of, but because the publisher mentions he didn't translate from French but relied on Leonard Starr's old notes. A change by Drake?
So or so, unfortunately I didn't knew in advance that the collected edition was in the making and couldn't send them a scan of this page.

Ingenious work and the commentary was spot on. Lots of modern distractions in any era takes your focus away from history. New technology of video tapes then or tik toks of today will always be there to shape modern society. Towards what? We don't know.
