Jackie Estrada has more than hit her Kickstarter goal so her book, Comic Book People, will become a reality. However, the campaign still has a week to go which means you still have a week to pony up some money to make sure you get a copy. There are special perks and bonuses that come to getting it this way…so go pledge and get one. It'll be a terrific book of photos Jackie has taken over the years of folks who work (or worked) in comics. Most, I assume, were taken at the Comic-Con International and many are from before it was called that.
The photo above is of the late Russ Manning, famous for his work on Tarzan and Magnus, Robot Fighter…to mention but two of his many credits. Russ was a great artist and a great guy and this shot of him signing autographs for a young admirer was taken at the El Cortez Hotel at the 1975 San Diego Con. This photo will not be in Jackie's book because she didn't take it. I did. She's a much better photographer than this.
