Celebrating Al Williamson is the spotlight of CBC #49, where Greg Biga talks with the wonderful fantasy/adventure artist’s peers and prodigies about his South American upbringing, emergence as a Fleagle Boy with Frazetta, Torres, and company, collaborations with Roy Krenkel and Archie Goodwin, comic strip art on Secret Agent Corrigan and Star Wars, and Flash Gordon obsession! We also talk with Bruce Chrislip about the Mini Comics Revolution and its impact on the comics world, and there’s Part One of a behind-the-scenes look at the ’60s/’70s Marvel Bullpen courtesy of Stu Schwartzberg, the writer/cartoonist and “Stat-Man Extraordinaire”! And, speaking of bullpens, Ken Gale showcases the inside baseball story of the Fandom Fireballs, the greatest softball team in the history of comic books! In addition, Edmund Trueman explores the Congolese Comics scene and the brilliant work appearing in that African country, and we examine the lives of the husband-&-wife Golden Age comics creator team of Burton & Ruth Geller, who had their own E.C. Comics title and worked, often as Ruth Burton, on children’s comics for decades. Plus Hembeck is here, you bet! Edited by Jon B. Cooke.
