I had seen Roger a number of times in passing at shows, had heard stories about him, and had even sold him a couple of Wally Wood text illustrations through the mail, but had never been formally introduced to him. About eight or nine years ago I acquired a large Jack Davis pencil sketch on EC office art board. I took it to OAF Con to show it around and Roger was incredibly generous with his knowledge. We ended up clicking and chatted for the duration of the show. Towards the end of the show he came over and gave me a copy of the program book for an EC art show he had curated in Oregon. The program book was done in fanzine style as an EC Fan Addict pamphlet and the artwork presented inside was ridiculous. Nearly every cool EC piece was represented in some form or other. And Roger had pulled all of this stuff together from a number of prominent collectors. As I went through the catalog I came upon the cover for Haunt of Fear 18. I asked Roger if he could tell me who owned that piece as it was a grail of mine. He sheepishly said that it belonged to him. I mentioned to him that if he were ever to think of parting with it to please think of me, but I never thought that particular comment would lead anywhere. We continued to email and call and stay in touch talking about the hobby. One day he called and asked if I was interested in the cover. YES! Absolutely! He shot me a price and I gulped and said YES! Absolutely! He and another friend drove down from Kansas and spent a day at the shop delivering the cover. Roger was always such a joy to be around and chat with and nerd out about the coolest stuff in the whole hobby. He had seen it all.

I may be able to get that done for you. So I texted her and this is what she sent back. Not sure what it means...

I may be able to get that done for you.

Thanks Greg. I will throw a few other freebies in with them.

Groucho Marz "Many Happy Returns" hardcover w/ dust jacket - c 1942 Simon and Schuster - $100 SOLD! Wartime humor, including Hitler, Tojo, and Mussolini on the cover. Most of the defects are pretty evident in the photos. The dust jacket has a stain at the bottom front and back. There is a light correlating water stain on the last two interior pages. The back board also has some water spotting. Otherwise everything is in pretty nice condition (I have been told that "pretty nice", or pn, is an accepted grade in the book collecting hobby).

Thanks Bill!
