The letter column has a very nice heading by an artist who signed their name "Ludwig," and features Richard Bojarski's "Baron Von Bungle" at the bottom. Between is a lengthy letter by John J. Fox, Chairman of the Confraternity of Christian DOctrine, who discusses 2001: A Space Odyssey at length.
Page 49 features this ad for the great Flash Gordon reprint book by Nostalgia Press, a bargain at today's prices!
Page 50 features letters from Dan Recchia, Ron Watkins, Tom Lowe, Louis Pallaro, Ray Reistoffer, and Al Westerfield.
A bunch of great fanzines are listed on page 51's ad... I don't ever remember seeing these at any of the last few comics shows I've been to!
And here's the last page of letters... with missives from Carmen Minchella, Kent Kirby, JOhn Mullet, Richard H. Bush, David Soren, Louie Henken, and KEvin Pagann... any of you guys who wrote these and find yourself directed to this blog, speak up in the comments, won't you?
