No dinosaurs today, but man, look at that splash page! For those of you revisiting this post - I have replaced the old dull scans with hew ones by Sandy. Man, what a difference!
Been following these for a while now and I'm gob smacked by Meskin's artistry. Although I can see some similarities with Eisner Meskin is in a league of his own. I wish these were available in some more affordable format so I could hold them in my hands to peruse them at will.
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.

I hope my continuing efforts to spotlight these and other Meskin sories will shame DC into publishing them... and getting me to do the intros.
