A photostat of #nealadams logo for WARP (the world's first science fiction play in serial form), which ran briefly on Broadway in 1973. Neal provided the stat for a story in the fanzine THE COMIC READER...along with the story itself, scribbled in pencil on the stat's reverse.

2024 Comic Reads, Day 173/366:

WORLD OF KRYPTON (1979). A comic only a true bone-deep nerd could write, narrativizing every Silver Age factoid about Superman’s birth planet into a Don Rosa Life-and-Times for the Pre-Crisis Jor-El. @paulkupperberg.bsky.social, we recognize and salute you. 🫡

Happy birthday to Julie Schwartz, to my mind the greatest comic book editor of all time, BOTD in 1915. I was fortunate enough to not only meet and work with the man who spearheaded DC's Silver Age revival, but also count him as a friend. Later, Schwartz!

Remembering Robert Kanigher, one of the most important comics writer of the Golden and Silver Age--he wrote the first Silver Age Flash story in Showcase #4, created Sgt. Rock and a myriad of DC's war characters, to name a few, BOTD 1915!
