Doug Hansen Ten Speed Tommy

This is special. Doug Hansen is/was a local artist who did some underground stuff, including something that was in Slow Death #2, I think, which was given to me by a friend of my mother's long before I found myself walking into my first/only local Comic Art Festival with her in 1979, where he was appearing along with Frank Brunner, Alfredo Alcala, Don Rico, Trina Robbins and quite a few others, all significant to me at the time, and still today.
Doug Hansen, on the one hand prolific locally with a newspaper feature that illustrated notable local buildings, including one at Stanislaus and O St, where I twice lived in one of the upstairs apartments of the building. Most memorably, watching The Night Stalker on it's phenomenal original broadcast. I may have run screaming when the refrigerator of blood was opened. I may have finished watching it. I never got over it.
On the other hand, his comic art is a rare sighting on the market,
perhaps twice before I saw something available.
This piece could be the last I ever get, and it would be perfect for that.
It's funny what matters.
