July 1-5 at the Philadelphia Sheraton. Lucky kid me was there, but didn't get to meet Guest of Honor John Stanley, which still brings adult me down. But a good time was had, and consequently, to me, July 4th = FUNNYBOOKS.
I was there, too! Didn't meet Stanley, either. My biggest memory was discovering a room full of giant Jeff Jones paintings! In ore recent years, I was able to become an online friend of the now-late artist and I'm quoted on her website!
Or as Strange Adventures' Calum Johnston (who supplied a bunch of these as pics/files) would say, "coloured". One day I'll have exhausted the remaining supply of these, and I'll be sad. In the meantime, it's pure joy to do. There's loads of these, be sure to click through!

ReplyDeleteI remember a room of Jones/Wrightson/Kaluta/Windsor-Smith art at the following year's show in NYC. Probably off my funnybook radar in '77 :)
