That's a monkey. I haven't read this issue yet (been crazy busy) but I have felt for a long time it's a greatly underrated cover among WWII covers.

Joe is one of the nicest human beings ever, period. I haven't seen him in a while, which is my fault for being a busy sandwich generation person, but I give him a quick call now and again. I interviewed him a couple times more years ago than I care to remember (as a newspaper reporter -- my first career, and for CBM) and he has treated me as a friend ever since. He was really appreciative of the career retrospective (thanks Pat Calhoun!) One place you can usually catch Joe is the Albany, NY Comic Con. He lives barely an hour south of Albany, so it's his home team show. A couple fun facts: he illustrated Dell's Life of the Beatles one-shot, and it is the work he is most proud of. (If any of you Overstreet advisers can get that in there, it's his fond wish). He is a huge Bing Crosby fan and hosted for years a weekly Bing show on local radio. For all his exceptional teamwork with Jack Kirby, they only met in person three times! Joe told me the only thing he ever fixed in Kirby's work was ears. He said ears were the one thing Kirby could not draw. When we did the CBM retrospective, in the late 90's, Stan Lee was in California, beginning Marvel's first movie negotiation efforts. (Remember when Marvel movies were rumors of possibility for the longest time?) Given Lee's focus on the project, I recall everyone doubting that I would ever get him on the phone, including his receptionist in California when she answered the phone. I asked her nicely to let him know that it would be for a career retrospective on Joe Sinnott, and she came back on sounding shocked that he agreed. I thanked Stan profusely when we got on the phone, and he cheerily said that when he heard it was for Joe, there was no way he would be kept from making time for it. Joe was just too important to him and to Marvel.

Maybe PM Zzutak; he does. He helped me out with the pin-up centerfold from Capt Marvel 13, so often missing.

I will never forget the impact his work had on me as a child. Much as I loved horror films, his was the first that truly scared me. I read about it in glorious B&W in Famous Monsters long before I ever saw it, and those photos haunted me. Then, one Friday night, (I think I was maybe 11, tops) it was on at 11:30 and I snuck it quietly on the tv in my room. At that level, it was a frightening horror film for me. Years later, it delivered me the same societal message that's at the core of Walking Dead, a couple decades earlier, I guess. Kirkland has fleshed out the theme, but Romero nailed the heart of it off the bat. Thank you, and RIP.
