Was this early '60s Dell comic by Katy Keene creator Bill Woggon the first comic book I owned? It's the earliest I remember reading, earlier even than the Tintin graphic novel I read when I was five or six.
I found this copy at World's Greatest Comics in Westerville: http://www.wgcomics.com/ As soon as I opened the book, all the images looked as familiar as if I had just read the book yesterday.
Many thanks to all my friends, family and art lovers who attended my exhibit last month. I appreciate the love and the support! I especially need to thank Wild Goose Creative, who's given me so many opportunities to exhibit work by myself and others and who is a real force for good in the Columbus-area arts scene!

A jam page, passed around this year's SPACE convention, celebrating the Cincinnati foodie favorite Goetta.
Unfortunately, I don't know all the artists who worked on this page, but I'm seeing Steve Willis in panel 1, Colin Upton in panel 3 and Matt Feazell in the last panel. I drew the Garbo panel. Bruce Chrislip's probably in there, too.

Steranko's very nice poster for the Cincinnati Comic Expo this last September.
A print I purchased from comics pioneer Allen Bellman at the con. He worked on Captain America in the early '40s and is still going strong!
An aside: the Cincinnati Comic Expo is an excellent show, reminiscent of what the Mid-Ohio Con used to before it got Shamus-sized.
