Boggling, when one stops to recall that these same amateur magazines, most of them produced by high school kids with mimeograph machines or ditto, originally went for one “sticky quarter.”This has prompted a couple of my more devoted collectors (a polite way of saying “crazed completists”) to email me, asking for a list of all the stuff I published way back when the world and I were both young. One suspects a mania verging on masochism, truly… but as a crazed toy knight collector myself, I understand.So here it is, a list of all of my contributions to comics fanzine in the 60s.published artwork (!!!)THE COMIC WORLD NEWS # 6, December 1963
