Multi Eisner-award winning author of Bandette, Bunny Mask, Colder, Plants vs. Zombies, Genius Factor, Wrassle Castle, etc. Elite cookie eater. He / him.
Speaking of great covers, here's one of my favorite Mary Marvel covers. This is also my earliest issue of Wow with Mary Marvel. She wasn't in the first eight 8 issues, and the early ones with Mary are rare and $$$$$. 
Lugosi supposedly gave the photo to Clara after the two (allegedly, according to Hollywood legend) had a brief, but torrid, affair that began when Bow saw Lugosi performing in the stage version of DRACULA in New York in 1929. 2/3 
I mean, don't get me wrong, I LOVE the look, and have used it myself, but I'd love to see a few more conceptions of what "future city" might look like. A more nature-integrated city, for instance? (BTW: that Serge Pellé art is from the Orbital series of books) 
Four more of these hunka hunka hunks of burning love, with girls crying on every cover. 
A couple more Tales To Astonish, and then a pair of Thunder Agents comics. I would LOVE to write a Thunder Agent series. Haven't really enjoyed any of the modern takes, maybe because I have too many of my own ideas. 
Okay, those love letters were strange to go through. I seem to have had ongoing romantic correspondence with girls I only remember meeting once or twice. There are a couple names I don't remember at all. (in my defense, this was like 30+ years ago)
Three more. 2/3 
I mean... there are dance battles! 
Any time writers reference ANY other show / movie / book, etc, it's a problem. What it did for me this time was remove me from Legacies & make me think about Harry Potter. Secondarily, it removed me from thinking of Legacies as "real." That's what such references ALWAYS do. 2/7
The Magic book is the one I count as my biggest book. It has smaller dimensions than the Gasoline Alley book, but it's MUCH thicker (well over 600 pages) and it weighs something like 12 pounds. There's SO much wonderful material. 
And a HUGE part of that is how @afwassel, @DamianWassel, @TimDanielComics & the Vault Comics team choose interesting / unique voices and then Turn Them Loose. 
Jackie was elected to the Eisner Hall of Fame in 2018, a well deserved honor. She was a champion of comics, and civil rights. A true warrior and a talented artist. (I'd love to have some of her original art, but I've literally never seen a single piece for sale) 
Don Martin has a STRONG presence on my collection, OF COURSE. 
As many of you know, Colleen rarely sells her art, and doesn't sell ANY art from the 3-time Eisner-award-winning Bandette (her husband is too fond of it) but this is a way we can help BLM, and do some good for a world that needs it.
A few more originals. I should add that I own absolutely nothing I'm posting here. Wish I did! 
A few more pieces. Wish Billy had been able to do a lot more in the industry. 
A couple of books by my friend Karim Friha, and then one by Jacques Tardi, who I've never had a chance to meet, but I'm sure I'd totally fanboy out on him. 
I used to buy the Overstreet Price Guides with GLEE. It was a yearly release that kept me on a fever pitch. The internet changed all that. I kept that hardcover because it's the last Overstreet I ever bought. Kept the others because Bill Ward and L. B. Cole covers, duh. 
These cartoons start at the very beginning of Bill's "war cartoonist" career, when he was just growing as a creator, and the war was still something people could laugh at. Eventually, though, everything grew darker, and Bill's humor was more tongue in cheek satire.
