It's great seeing all those Pete Rice books with the awesome Baumhofer covers! I bought the recently released Baumhofer book and pored over all the incredible artwork. It was interesting to learn that Baumhofer intended to be a musician, and was quite talented as a child, but an accident while playing with bullets damaged his left hand so severely he had to give it up. A friend suggested he try art since he would only need one hand to paint.

Like them all but this one is cool! I even have a Pete Rice club pin but I'm sure you got the gold plated version...

 

Hmm...no, I don't have a gold plated fan club pin, or any other kind for that matter. hm

 

I'd love to see yours. :wishluck:

I didn't realize that the Baumhofer book had been published. :applause:

 

Did you buy it through the publisher?

 

Yes. They had a Kickstarter campaign, but I didn't find out about it until it had ended. I just went to the publisher's website and ordered it there.

Wow, beautiful art! Not Windsor McKay is it?

 

The GCD says it was by Robert McCay which makes since. Didn't he draw characters for some of the cartoons produced by McCay?

 

It didn't last long. I only see Nemo story listings for a few issues after vol 2 #3. Stories were by Otto Binder by the way.
