The recreations are remarkable for a man of 40, let alone into his late 80's.<br /><br />Also know that as a fellow fan, it's a bit of a thrill for me when I see my name printed in the same issue of ALTER EGO as your own. My contributions to fandom may be small (usually scans, corrections or identifying artists) but I have believed since the 70's fans are all part of a larger whole!BrettJhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00399759208677794664noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7355407830694029222.post-57622872342871990662013-01-14T08:22:56.632-08:002013-01-14T08:22:56.632-08:00I'm sad to say that when I saw that a Golden A...I'm sad to say that when I saw that a Golden Age artist had died, i didn't recognized the name. Now I see he lived his last years in the same city where I live. Thanks for recording his life and work in your blog. I'll be going back to read that long interview in more depth. (I'm even sadder that as a youngster in central Texas, that I didn't know of him. It would have been nice to know of a Texas comics artist when I was growing up.)

If you did not preserve and discuss his work, who would?

The funny thing is that he was friends with fellow Texan Pete Tumlinson while they were in NY in the late 1940's but could never find him again went they both went back to Texas!Doc V.https://www.blogger.com/profile/06815470072568462626noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7355407830694029222.post-27331752580825746352013-01-12T16:46:58.423-08:002013-01-12T16:46:58.423-08:00Another one gone...
