@The_Watcher

I was a major EC geek back when he gifted it to me (Houstoncon '74). Actually, more of a geek in every way, including appearance. (...well, there is my avatar)

I first met Al at a southwestern convention in '73. Like any EC fan with artistic ambitions, I made the gesture of offering him a sketch in the hopes of receiving approval from an artist whose work I revered. He was appreciative and more impressed by my work than I'd imagined, but refused to accept the illustration unless I'd accept something he'd done.

So, the following year he brought along a Secret Agent X-9 (Corrigan) daily and personalized it to me at the Houston show. As it turned out I'd brought along an EC homage (oil) I'd done during the year which he liked and graciously agreed to pose with...

Even before me. I started in 1977.

I still think his pencils look WAY better than my inks Still, my inks look much nicer than the image I posted. I may as well post the penciled version now too, since I own it.

	Here's another piece by Abrera- A DPS I commissioned from him a few years ago. I'm trying to work up the nerve to ink it.

Wow I do recreations myself and these are incredible. Good job man. I've found you can't really sell pre-done recreations but I have done several commission recreations. I charge $40 for a cover like these.

	This speaks for itself, but required a rotation to be fully viewable. Apologies in advance for any neck rehab... Here's the other way (more like a widescreen avatar)...

	Great stuff guys! I am fond of Mary Jane, Batgirl and Superhero Splash pages. Here is a wall in my office/man cave that is in progress as more pieces get framed.

	This is a piece done by Joe Simon. It's believed to be from a comic project that he was working on that never got published.
