Hey, I’m back! Credit WordPress with my absence as I was unable to access this site for a week! This being the third time this has happened over the past year, I’m starting to get a complex. I see Steve B. and Doug and DJ David and the rest of the gang has entertained you but booksteve is back (for now)! Let’s get Linkin’!

Let’s start with From Eternity Back to Here, the rare collaboration between volatile Harvey Kurtzman and volatile Bernie Krigstein, two of the great comics individualists of all time.

Jim Aparo, seen here, became the definitive artist on DC’s Spectre in the seventies in spite of having to follow in some pretty big footsteps.

Bob Lubbers was quite a prolific newspaper strip artist back in the day and here we see a long run of his on The Saint.

Finally today, here’s a retrospective tribute to the catalogs of our friend Bud Plant who announced his retirement earlier this year. I used to live for these things to come in the mail!
