I don't know about that. I mean Jack Cole blew his own head off, I know of one at least comic artist that got whacked by the mob in the 50s and so many people that worked in comics in the 40s and 50s died penniless and alcoholics and no one cares about them or knows about them today.

I remember someone here reminiscing about Jerry Robinson sitting off by himself at some Con at a table. Imagine that. Jerry Robinson by himself. The boardie went over and had a conversation with him. What a coup that would have been for me. I would have LOVED to have been able to speak with Jerry Robinson.

I was reading about the last days of Mart Nodell and Sheldon Moldoff the other day. Active right up until the end. They live on through their work.

This is why I avoid auctions like this one: https://www.ebay.com/itm/AMAZING-SPIDER-MAN-1-CGC-SS-9-8-STAN-LEE-SIGNED-10X-IN-COLORED-SHARPIES-1-1-/264742245901

Somebody made Stan sign this book nine times in 2017 using different markers so this seller could put it on eBay for a quarter of a million dollars. This guy, StockDoc777, always makes me feel a little sick when I see his auctions. If you look at his other items, it’s a bunch more signed and multi-signed books from Stan, and many are from the time when he was clearly being abused. I sometimes wonder if and how this seller was tied in to the circle of predators who made Stan’s last days so miserable, but I have yet to see any evidence (aside from his inventory). 

I wonder if any of our board detectives know the story of these books.

Last update on the sale looks to be June 2020, so I'm gonna go out on a limb here and say the guy will never, never, never, never, never, never, never, never, never sell the book!
