Linkin’ Strings # 449

We didn’t have Sambo’s restaurants where I live. In fact, I’m surprised they were anywhere in 1976 but they were and here’s Katy Keene artist Bill Woggon with a tie-in Bicentennial coloring book for them!

Many longtime fans feel that artist Don Newton would have become one of the all-time greats had he not died fairly early into his pro career. He left quite a legacy as it is, though.

Definitely a cult figure in the Archie Comics pantheon, here’s artist Bob White with issue number three of Cosmo the Merry Martian from 1959.

Finally, Al Bigley reminds all of Roger Stern’s 1983 Marvel Age article of stories he didn’t want to write…and leaves it open to conjecture as to how many of them were written later anyway!

    We had Sambo’s in Jersey in 1976 or so. They later converted to Denny’s.

I.T.C.H is looking forward to your thoughts. Please, no flame. Thanks!
