Hi Andy, I'm following your posts as I too collect comics. This panel is very reminiscent of some classical works in it's composition of the supreme being don't you think? I am actually in the process of opening an online comic shop to sell my excess and anything else I buy, I have a vintage book shop too. Keep posting, I am posting my books and comics also. Cheers Ursula

Hey Andy. I've just started following you... Mostly the comic books I have read were hovering on repetitive subjects - i.e. superheroes clad in belted underwear costumes, japanese manga, and of course, who will say pass to Frank Miller's novels?

But frankly, this kind of obscurity on these comics tops them all. It keeps comics on the ground of entertainment and wild creativity. No one in this era can be brave enough, imaginative or grotesque even to make these panels. I can never get bored with this stuff. I especially took a liking to the Vengeance of the Tiger Queen. Makes me wanna read the whole thing.

Hey, Andy! It's Anthony, Tommy Kovac's husband. Yep, after 18 years together we finally tied-the-knot last October!
Anyway, groovy blog ya got there! It's great that you're spotlighting these comics that would otherwise slip into complete obscurity. And every creation has SOME redeeming quality to it, right? Even if it can only fetch a measly dollar...
