Exhibit Six-Bill Dubay-1971 Post # 3100


In the 1970s. Bill Dubay went from being a talented fan creator and publisher to being a  controversial and sometimes hated professional. This story, published in the first issue of FOR MONSTERS ONLY I ever say, looks like a reject from the now-legendary WEB OF HORROR series. Dube uses an assumed name. Was he already with Warren at the time?

Tom Sparks: Boy Inventor-Bob Brown/Sy Barry-1951


Here we see a nearly forgotten DC hero who only appeared a handful of times. Timely and Fawcett and one or two other Golden Age companies had boy inventors, too, presumably a carryover from the popularity of Tom Swift.

The Train That Vanished-John Buscema-1960


Within a decade, Big John would be one of the best in the business and he would continue to get even better in the 1980s. Here, he's a mere lad, yet already with the skills! A lot of words, though.

Rip Kirby-Alex Raymond-1949


Everybody worships Raymond's lush art on FLASH GORDON, and rightfully o, but to me his storytelling had improved tremendously by the time of his post-war RIP KIRBY strip!
