Both are cool finds, but I already have copies of both of them.

One of these days, I need to make a list of the few fanzines I have which contain early artwork by Stan.

I saw that Steve, but figured you'd have done the same and would buy it, hence I left it

I really expected it to go for a lot more because I thought you would be bidding on it also, so I was shocked it sold for what it did.

I wonder if this is Stan's first published multi-page "story" or if there are any even earlier.....

Now if I could just find Chronicles #5!

(and maybe 3 & 4)

Here is a link to another early story by Stan....
