Jon Sable Freelance #18 pg.15 by Mike Grell (1984)

No matter how big a splash you make in this world whether you're Corey Feldman, Frankie Muniz, Justin Bieber or a talking teddy bear, eventually, nobody gives a s**t.

Another great looking Sable page.  I'm getting a Shelley Winters vibe from the waitress.

love seeing pages from this series everytime. lovely intricate illlustrating of hair and faces, and beautiful deep black inks - top notch work by Grell

 Very cool! 

The Case of the Curious Teddy Bear nears its conclusion. Issues 17 and 18 have always held a place in my heart - I think it is the inclusion of the LA Olympics.

As litigious as the IOC is, I'm actually amazed the rings are in this. 

The official mascot for the 1984 Olympics was Sam the Eagle, this teddy bear is from the US Boycotted 1980 USSR Games called Misha.  

Such beautiful pen work. I remember when I would flip through the issues as it was coming out, I'd immediately think how obvious it was that this was the project he was most passionate about doing up to this point in his career, and seeing this again, it's still obvious!

Terrific addition to your collectuon, Rick

Very cool Grell Sable page from an absolute favorite storyline, congrats!
