The Way We Were



Here's a page from an issue of WHAM! in August 1965, drawn (and possibly written, if not by Walter Fearn,) by the larger than life living legend that is Leo Baxendale. It's not only the clarity of his storytelling I admire, nor the hilarity of his approach, nor the wonder of his penmanship, all of which I love, but also the attention to detail. And this particular example has a wonder from a bygone age, a child imbibing whisky! I love it! You couldn't get away with that today, and that's another reason I'm glad I grew up with WHAM! and Baxendale!

KIRBY

Jack Kirby died twenty years ago. His colossal body of work will never be surpassed either in volume, quality or significance. I can't think of anything more to say.
