It has been a while and I apologize for being a tardy Blogger.
While looking for other things, the other day,
I happened upon a real treat!
George Zotti, the long time toiler in and
sometime owner of, the venerable,
Silver Snail
comic book emporium,
had posted this image.
It is the truly amazing, what might be found,
in the catacombs of an old comic book shop and George rediscovered this.
My first visit to "The Snail",
was in the September of 1977 and while I was there,
Ron, the owner, introduced me to Franc Reyes, the artist who's work graced the poster.
Franc Reyes was living in Toronto at that time but later moved to Los Angeles, I believe and joined the workers in the animation industry.
It seems to me, my memory being what it is, that a few years ago,
Franc Reyes self published a sketchbook but I cannot seem to find any mention of it, anywhere.
This one is for Ron Van Leeuwen, without whom, we would not have had the wonderful world of "The Snail".
