Here's another great fanzine from G.B. Love's publishing group (SFCA), an extension of the phenomenal success of his ad-zine Rocket's Blast Comic Collector (RBCC). Rocket's Blast Special #8 provides a brief history of Fawcett's Captain Marvel and C.C. Beck's brilliant contributions to the history of comics...    [FC]  [BC] The zine's full color wrap-around cover was contributed by then-fan artist Don Newton, a huge fan of Captain Marvel known for entering convention costume contests in the early 70's in full costume as the character. He'd go on to a successful career as a respected comic illustrator for D.C. in the mid-70's. Sadly, a tragic health issue brought Don Newton's career to an abrupt end in the mid-80's at the height of the artist's popularity. . |

| Chicago Wizard was fun this year even though attendance seemed a little down from past years. While I didn't have time to take many wall shots or photograph cosplayers, I did manage to get some images. So, pop some popcorn, chill a few brews and kick-back for a little vicarious con-going... First up, the Verzyl family booth (lots of cool books)...   . |

How many comic fans bought these index booklets? These were great. I think they inspired me to create comic checklists.      |

Comic Forum was a comic fanzine for amateur artists and writers to indulge their talents and passions for collecting. Earl Blair, Jr. (aka Captain Bijou) who drew this cover is one of the founders of Houston area comic fandom, heavily involved in running early conventions. He still posts on serial boards and occasionally attends regional comic conventions as a dealer and historian of early fandom...  . |
