It's...THE DOOM PATROL BY KEITH GIFFEN OMNIBUS. The reason I was sent comps is I wrote one of the introductory essays for the volume and it reprints my and Keith's collaboration on DC COMICS #52, which in addition to the debut of Ambush Bug featured his first time drawing the DP. On sale 12/9!

Boo!

According to my quick research, the last of the original 14 Art Deco buildings to be completed in Rockefeller Center was 75 Rockefeller Plaza, which was finished in 1947. I like that my old man watched the building that would one day house DC Comics and where two of his sons would later work go up.

Just noticed: my name was misspelled in this house ad. Understandable, I guess. At the time I'd only been writing for DC for 12 years.

If it ain't at the Statler-Hilton Hotel, it ain't the New York Comicon...but it ain't 1972 no more neither.
