David Sanborn, one of the most prolific saxophonists of recent decades, died May 12 after a six-year battle with prostate cancer. He was 78. The list of artists he worked with is long and varied. en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/David_Sanborn

Just ran across this gem from Marie Severin, along with the key of who the beachgoers are! Seen recently on Facebook. There are a few differences with the key shown above: "Here's the complete list written by Roy Thomas. The Bullpen personnel on the splash page of SUB-MARINER #19 were all drawn by Marie Severin, without prior consultation with me or, far as I know, anybody else. She just drew them. Above the unconscious Namor is John Verpoorten (with camera); behind him is Marie Severin herself; to her right, with glasses, is me--Roy Thomas; below me is, Morrie Kuramoto; leaning over Namor is Gary Friedrich; crouching behind him in an orange bikini is Jean Thomas; at top, running towards the group, is Tony Mortellaro; the bald guy at top right in a baby blue shirt is Larry Lieber (the man holding the child and woman with red hat surrounding Larry are Marie's friends); waving to the reader at middle right in a grey long sleeve shirt is Stu Schwartzberg; lower down, in the yellow Hawaiian t-shirt, is Sol Brodsky; beside him with the red towel is Jack Kirby; behind Jack in light green is Don Heck; grinning at the reader above the credits in orange is Bill Everett (Namor's creator); gasping in awe in the striped tank top is Herb Trimpe; above Herb, with the goatee, is Stan Lee; behind Stan is Nancy Murphy; beside Stan is John Romita (with white towel); the lady with the green bathing cap next to John Verpoorten is Susan Lane; behind Susan is Frank Giacoia."

I just noticed - look at what they're all chanting in the first panel - "Big dog! Big dog! Bow wow wow!". That's a slight modification of Cole Porter's Yale University fight song: "Bulldog! Bulldog! Bow wow wow!". The song was featured in the movie "Night and Day" in 1946, so it would have been reasonably well known when this comic was written.

I'm curious to know if anyone had this one..... It's an adaptation of a movie, about a pair of real cops. An odd product, for Archie Comics (even with the Red Circle imprint) and an odd film to license. Yes, I bought it when it came out. And yes, it was odd. In real life the duo were nicknamed "Batman and Robin", but the comic doesn't mention that at all, for obvious reasons. There's a vaguely bat-shaped symbol on their shirts in the lower left-hand corner of the cover. The art was well done, by Gray Morrow's usual Red Circle crew - Vicente Alcazar, Carlos Pino, Frank Thorne and Gray himself.

This just in, from the comix-scholars list: "Dear colleagues, I am pleased to announce that my book on Jean Giraud/Moebius, part of the Biographix series, is available for pre-order on the University Press of Mississippi website: www.upress.state.ms.us/Books/M/MoebiusIt's cheap, it looks good and it was a pleasure to write. This is not a straight biography, as it focuses on Moebius's career rather than his life, in an attempt to examine (and question) his status as a "genius" in the field. My working subtitle was "The Genius as Professional", which I still think is a neat encapsulation of what I tried to do. If you're interested, I have a few blog posts in French about the process, including attempts at redrawing various panels in order to understand Moebius's gestures and craft: picturing.hypotheses.org/?s=moebiusI hope you'll like it! Regards, Nicolas Labarre"

Students protesting the war in Gaza recently occupied the library at Portland State University for three days. Yesterday's newspaper brought this: PSU library occupation: Dark Horse Comics collection appears intact, archivist sayswww.oregonlive.com/education/2024/05/psu-library-occupation-dark-horse-comics-collection-appears-intact-archivist-says.html"Portland State University’s popular Dark Horse Comics collection appears intact, though a full inventory must be done to confirm that, the university’s archivist says. Early reports that the collection might have been stolen from Millar Library during a three-day protest occupation likely stemmed from a misunderstanding, said Cristine N. Paschild, the university archivist and head of PSU’s special collections."
