Was the pin-up you did for Hep Cats ever published? I forget were I heard you were doing one but I was never able to find the issue it appeared in...
Thanks...
Antarctic Press was scheduled to publish Hep Cats--an ongoing series as well as reprinting the original. Martin contacted me about doing a pin-up for one of the issues. It was immediately after I sent the art to the publisher that Martin dropped out of sight. Even AP did not know what happened.

The art was never published, though the original was returned.
Has there been any change in the status of the Hepcat series or a return of the artist?
Any chance of this pin-up ever being published?
Any chance of posting it on the Dojo web-site?

Thanks,
Abayo...

There is still no word from Martin Wagner.

I do have the artwork in my files somewhere. I'll either post it when I find it, or send a scan to someone (like you) to post.
