The bad points you earned in my book for your previous entry of NFL SUPERPRO is erased with this entry. An unknown gem to me. Historically important too! And with most of the copies not even distributed and probably destroyed, Boy! is this thing going to be hard to buy cheap from now on on Ebay! I must have it though. Must. Western comics are cool! A black western hero is even cooler for 1965! Cool!

I must have it though.
Must.

[/i] Anyway, great column, very interesting to hear about this character who should really have some greater recognition in the industry. I read this column every day, it's my favourite one on CSBG that isn't written by Joe Rice. Let me try something here, to turn off the italics. [/i]

I guess having grown up in the '80s, I find that kind of ignorance dumbfounding. And really it wasn't the readers, rather the guys at the shops who decided its fate. Crazy world. :( It's amazing that there was that kind of racism in 1965. I guess having grown up in the '80s, I find that kind of ignorance dumbfounding.

Little Lulu, the Barks Ducks, Alex Toth on Zorro and other stuff... Y'can't screw with Dell. Lobo looks cool, and I'd like to see him reprinted. TOTALLY agree on the Maurice Evans Pooh. My ex-girlfriend found a file of one of 'em using Napster or Bittorent or one of those other computer things that make my head hurt. Very, very nice. And I loves me some non-Disneyfied-and-horrible WTP. In defense of Dell: They were probably the strongest comic publisher outta anyone in the fifites.

I have periodic eBay searches for 'lobo black' and 'lobo dell' that never return what I want. It's a <I>little</I> bit like looking for eBay copies of a Winnie-the-Pooh book-on-record I had on LP (one of a series of three read by Maurice Evans; <I>the</I> best audio Pooh ever). Search for Pooh and you are immediately mired in up to your neck in Disney crap. Finding one specific slightly rare thing thus becomes that much more impossible. Moral of the story? Never name your band 'Wolverine.'
