I was so happy--he, and Wallace Wood, were my heroes. I've told that story to so many people I don't even know if I've told your Blog that before. Al has not disappointed over the years. He remained a stellar talent to the end and produced volumes of absolutely beautiful work. The reprinted volumes of his work on the Star War newspaper strip were just great! BTW, Russ Manning did a good showing in the same sequence of volumes. I could only wish the the volumes were LARGER! but the way the pages were laid out was better than just copying the original...Al worked on them, too, I understand.<br /><br />Thanks for the tribute to Al. He has meant so much to me over the years...I STILL have trouble believing he is gone. I keep expecting the next issue to come out and one more adventure. -snif-linkyacohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01978093327972068268noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5416308222584724787.post-51055970483953095122010-06-23T12:35:14.642-07:002010-06-23T12:35:14.642-07:00Thank you so much, everyone, you have no idea how ...Thank you so much, everyone, you have no idea how much I appreciate every and each of these kind comments: as I said many times, <b>Raymond</b> and <b>Williamson</b> have been definitely a huge influence on me, so I am glad the love I have for those two masters shines through :)<br />Also glad you guys spotted my Tintin, which was originally the topic for that week (moved now to this week).<br /><br />Cheers to you all!<br />FrancescoFrancesco Francavillahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01387320513644974109noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5416308222584724787.post-20200611341379722022010-06-21T11:23:48.981-07:002010-06-21T11:23:48.981-07:00Magnificent.

The angles, the web, the gun, the rocket, the spider, Tintin, the look on the spaceman's face, the shading, the overall feel of it. It is truly magnificent.davelevinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07809341957525993281noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5416308222584724787.post-76165785877453387672010-06-21T10:45:21.517-07:002010-06-21T10:45:21.517-07:00Beautiful!Beautiful!JunBobKimhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10685264300960130840noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5416308222584724787.post-65340401376176122582010-06-17T21:17:37.462-07:002010-06-17T21:17:37.462-07:00Wonderful, both as a tribute to the man and as a w...Wonderful, both as a tribute to the man and as a work of art standing on its own.<br /><br />Rest In Peace Mr. Williamson.Brianhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15896853636391031482noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5416308222584724787.post-1066117603892881432010-06-17T06:36:30.383-07:002010-06-17T06:36:30.383-07:00That's a beauty, Francesco.
