Cover by Frank Giusto.

Baffling Mysteries #8 (1952). On the cover, three scaly lizard men are holding a beautiful blond woman captive in a cave. One says “We have long sought a queen! You shall reign as queen of the lizard men!”

Look at these two giants casually talking. I love taking pics at cons when I went to them. Here’s a cool snap of Walt Walter Simonson looking like he’s getting a portfolio review from Neal Adams 🤣🤣”Not bad kid”.

Another nice piece from my collection is this cover a prelim to The World of Wood that was published in the 90’s. Here the original sketch by Bret Blevins and the final piece by Bret and Al Williamson they gifted me. It hangs in my studio
