8.5 x 11 board, ink and marker and whatever

Held in August 1987, perhaps the most memorable event at the San Diego meeting was the surprise 70th birthday celebration for Jack Kirby.

This board of autographs and sketches was collected at the 1987 San Diego Comic Con. I have two from the Mid-Ohio Con of 1987 and 1988. Featuring (from the upper left), and what they were doing at the time:

Dave Thorne (1930-2012) writer/artist (U Hawaii cartoon teacher); Thorny’s Zoo
