Thanks so much for all the Meskin posts! He was truly a master! I wish DC would collect his work. I don't know if you heard but there is a Meskin book coming out this month by Fantagraphics, a bio with lots of art. I got a copy to write a review for my paper. He had such a troubled life that I had no idea about. Thanks again, Rich
I was lucky enough to be able to contribute to the book. The writer, Steven Bower also has a yahoo group devoted to Mort Meskin, where you can contact him.
I am slowly selling my comics, cartoon and newspaper collection on Ebay. In short, when I am done scanning them and they are on the blog, I no longer need to keep the original paper. If you want to go and have a look what I have on sale now, please go to http://www.ebay.com/sch/gerapeldoorn/m.html?item=152381924308&ssPageName=STRK%3AMESELX%3AIT&rt=nc&_trksid=p2047675.l2562. Prices are low and I combine for shipping.

I have been doing this blog for over ten years now. I find more and more that it is used by comic book, newspaper strip and cartoon historians as a tool for their research or additional illustrations. And I encourage that. I have larger uncleaned scans for all self scanned images on this blog for those want to use it for their book or article. Just ask and we'll get something going. Family members of artists mentioned here or anyone who is interested in donating scans is encouraged to make contact. By the way, the quickest way to reach me these days is through Facebook.
I highly recommend
Getting any of these wonderful books will help me fund this page.
I am a Dutch television writer, who has written about comics and television for a number of publications here in Holland and in the US. I love hearing from (forgotten) artists and/or their relatives, so if you are one of those and happen upon this blog, please leave a note.
