I know who has it, and I've been trying to get it back. He's had it since the late 70's. He told me he was going to stick it on Ebay with a really high reserve, and then sell it to me for whatever the high bid was!!!! WTF? I lost contact with him after that, but I REALLY want this back for sentimental reasons.

Ok this is outrageous, I didn't click on it at first because I didn't hit me this could be yours,I thought you were uploading it as an early influence or something...

This very magazine changed my life in the most positive of ways. I was just a couple years younger than you at the time. Thank you for the inspiration you radiate out into the world, Joe!

What a stunning professional debut. Your High School art did show the promise. It looks like your parents and teachers encouraged and supported you.
