Robot Man Posted March 25, 2019 Author Share Posted March 25, 2019 I don’t know how but they even did one on yours truly. Hell, I can’t even polish these guys shoes. Not going to post it because it is basically a rehash of my origin of my Son of my 50 Year Junk Obsecession. I have a bunch of these that I saved. Seems like I save everything. If I get the time and there is an interest, maybe I’ll post some more. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just watched Rollerball 1975 for the umpteenth time, saw this scene, and immediately thought of Mr Bedrock. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Second paragraph - Fish has the cover to JIM 89? Is that correct? That's a real classic and so early? Edited March 26, 2019 by Bronty Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Robot Man Posted March 26, 2019 Author Share Posted March 26, 2019 Got a couple for you EC fans... First up, noted jazz guitarist and EC author and historian and a good friend, Grant Geissman. Probably the best collection on the planet if you like EC and MAD. Personal friends with Gaines and Feldstein. I can’t even begin to tell you what it is like going over to his place. Nuff said...

Robot Man Posted March 26, 2019 Author Share Posted March 26, 2019 How about EC legend Roger Hill? This guy was around since the beginning and a very close personal friend of Johnny Craig. He is still selling Johnny’s file copies and art for his family on eBay. A heck of a nice guy and a wealth of EC info if you ever need it.

How about that picture above of his cover to Detective Comics #28 which is prominently displayed in the Metro offices hallway. Apparently his first OA cover purchases for something like only $800 at the time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
