Yes, Larry Todd original artwork is very rare due in fact to a fire which burned Larry's house to the ground and burned him severely at the time. Back then I gave Larry back some of the originals I had bought from him cuz he had nothing left.

Awesome collection of autographs by legends-some of whom are now gone. By the way, I believe the "eeep" signature belongs to Kurt Busiek.

Why thank you deeply Steve. I believe you to be correct as Kurt did use eeep for a while. I always enjoyed his comics and at the time the stature in my noggin matched up to who slowly filled up that page. Every one of the hundreds of autographs many most with drawings of creative bent I talked with - interviewed - over a life time now inside comics. Mr eeep and one other yet remained the only ones the memory jogs were not clicking on all cylinders.

Truly amazing! Love Chris' lettering on this one. Thanks for the story.

Your are most welcome, Dries. I treasure this drawing of me Chris unexpectedly drew of me whilst I was immersed in deep research along with a few dozen other dedicated friends more than a decade ago now ferreting out forgotten proper origins of the American comic book. Most of the history books before 1999 remain simply wrong. It's been both a blessing and a curse as forces of pure research collided with certain "marketing" forces seeking to maintain a time line easier to huckster aspects of this wonderful art form.

GROO THE WANDERER Sergio Aragones 1982

Hi Ted! Every one of the pieces in my Memory Book started back in 1974 has a fun back story. Having a nice Sergio Groo drawn over six months prior to it first getting published is quite an honor and a treat! Hopefully see you at one of the up-coming shows. Life has been keeping me closer to the grind stone as it all gets sorted out!

Very cool..and a very early Frazetta to be sure! Btw, checked out your amazing Rick Griffin pieces..one of my all-time favorites..incredible stuff. Must have been great to have known and worked with the man.

Just noticed this, back in the summer I was going to a lot fo comicons. When he got in to his art, Rick was a tough task master. It was an honor to have opened up whta ended up being a Rick Grifffin art gallery grand opening June 1 1991. We began work on it in early Feb. Took five months, was one of my main high points of my life on this planet

Hi Ray, your print should be with you now, I trust. Thanks for your order as well as yer patience -:) Am almost out of these first prints I published back in 1971. I was the very first publisher back when I was a teenager on a mission to save it for posterity having no idea then what it truly turned out to be: The First Superman Cover 1933

Both Don Thompson in CBG and Gary Carter in CBM published a different two thirds of my original longish article (well, they each condensed down a diff third -:) which really lays it all out as far as what my (so-called) comics archeology told me. All conclusions I ever reach on most any aspect of my comics business research I vet against zillions of my peers over the decades. Nothing comes out of a vacuum. Every place this has ever appeared in print has been a copy of what I paid to print back in 1971. I was just a teen ager back then, and all I knew was I felt an overwhelming need to preserve this for posterity. Uncovering the mystery of what this cover represented was a great intense challenge which part of what runs my wagon in the wonderful world of comics

When one compares this cover to the three known 1933 published Humor comic books, Detective Dan Secret OP 48, The Adventures of Detective Ace King, Bob Scully, Two Fisted Hick Detective, one quickly notices distinct attributes the boys lifted to make their creation's appearance conform to the same "house" look, is what I and many others now think after decades exploring this conundrum Where it was signed copyright 1928 JOE SHUSTER and JEROME SIEGEL remains a mystery why 1928 was chosen to place there. No one thought to ask either of Superman's daddies. Incredible oversight sure to be lamented by future historians.

Hi Ray, For a short spell am offering these up for $80 post paid. Eighty bucks PayPal to orders@BLBcomics.com gets it sent post paid in a very sturdy crush proof tube. Just going to to let five this way, as I run em $100 in my eBay store at http://stores.ebay.com/BLBcomics if one feels they need to. Am almost out of them. A chunk of them I had brought out to Calif got destroyed in Best of Two World's warehouse flood of Feb 1986. Evidently I had left a small stash in my parent's house when i moved out to northern California to help found Comics & Comix Aug 1972.

Great memory book, Bob, thanks for sharing! I;ve seen some great sketchbooks over the years, but this one is one of the best!

Hi Johnny, just catching up on all sorts of backed up stuff. Thanks for the kind words. Every one in my book is a friend I have met along the comics world path of enlightenment. Vaughn was a friend I first met at his art show with Larry Todd and Jeff Jones at the 1969 St Louis World Science Fiction Convention. He was a brilliant person, I thought.

Yep..and you can certainly see the evolution in his drawing style!

As an aside, I still feel proud I supplied Bill with the very last Frazetta comic book he needed to complete everything Frank every did in comic books which was Leroy #2 published by Standard in 1949. Others were on the trail for Bill for some time back in the day, twas I who lucked into this rare Golden Ager

Wow, a rare old con drawing by Bill...interesting how he has the dino sorta floating in the background. Cool!

The color portion was done in 1974 in Hollywood, the B&W dino in 1999 a quarter century later at a New York City show -:)

Most assuredly this is where Diana met Frank. She worked half a block up at the street at Comics & Comix - up until this event I hosted along with a staff four days after the debut of Daredevil #181 along with a near perfect very dedicated staff then of "diamond in the rough" comics fans I was training who were mostly all in awe of our honored guest, Frank had pretty much been working in a vacuum. These thousands of fans who came thru Saturday waited out in a rain storm, lined up down around the block for most of the day. If you can find the reference you read, or some one else knows it, I would appreciate it greatly.

I have been coming out of a virtually enforced five year hiatus in all my fanac research whilst i sought medical repair after being canceled by HMO Aetna citing "undisclosed pre-existing condition", then a yearlong healing process still ongoing. I am glad i posted this now, as I learned a couple Miller morsels re his fascination with Eisner, rightly placed that may be -:)

There were fliers made for this event. Mark Stichman thought to make up a four page brochure with a then-complete index to everything Frank Miller touched up to that point, even Twilight Zone #84 85 IIRC. Might be mistaken on that last note re TZ issues, most of my original archives were destroyed in the Feb 86 flooding of the Best of Two Worlds warehouse same week end Eclipse Comics was washed down the Russian River. I am actively seeking and re-collecting the artifacts of my business life in comic book stores from those days which used to be.....

This is one of my favorite sketches in my book. Right now it functions as the "cover" to me two inch thick Comic Book Store Wars manuscript I am working on again.

Which issue of TCJ was that in? Yup, Ronin was his next project which came down the pipe line. I have always felt I had a small hand in Frank's evolutionary process in his story telling art. We were importing comics from all over the world to offer in my stores. I was even bringing in Hindu comics from India then -:)

Marshall was saying at the time this was a new character he was fleshing out for Eclipse. He and Steve Engelhart were riding high off their Batman success.

It easily could be. At the time I had accumulated some 580 out of the 618 Spirit sections published. Had all the Eisners plus closing in on the part of the run done by Lou Fine, Jack Cole, etc. A lot of the comics collecting world revolved around Will Eisner at the time now closing in on 30 years ago. Carl Barks was also still "hot" then. That week end I also showed him original Japanese imports we were having transported over the Pacific of Lone Wolf & Cub which also blew his brain and became excited about. Some months later Rick Obadiah, then publisher of First Comics, announced he was doing a much anticipated English translation reprint series - sporting Frank Miller covers!

Thank you. Bill drew this from the heart in my sketch book inside my San Francisco Haight Ashbury comic book. We did the fly in thing for 3 or 4 years in a row. Tis one of my favorites in the book.

Marshall Rogers passing away was a great loss for his many many fans and friends. His sparkling wit was always a joy.
