THE NOSTALGIA JOURNAL #31 (December 1976)
COVER: Well, a nude Big Bards cover drawn by Dave Cockrum in 1972 is definitely a headlight...I mean, highlight. (page 1)
TNJ MEMOS: Lambs lead to slaughter, Part Three: "Long-time Ohio fan Don Rex joins the TNJ editorial crew with this issue. Don was bound and gagged at NYC's Creation Con and brought down to Fantagraphics's executive headquarters in Maryland. Don woke up and immediately started helping out with mailing, sorting, filing, proofing and other assorted chores that seem to multiply with each passing issue" Incredibly, this is our favorite former Comics Twitter person: Donald Rex, Jr. (page 2)
JACK KIRBY INTERVIEW, PART TWO: Kirby talks a few times about his war experience, and about working with Stan Lee (positive at this point). He gets pretty worked up when the interviewer asks him why he doesn't do everything himself, then later gives a logical reason why he didn't ink his own work. (pages 23-24)
