I am particularly happy when I come across something I do not know but I like it, or I can be helpful. This is the case of these card of the series "Famous Comic Book Creators". A comic book has found an uncut box (36 packs with 12 cards each) in storage and put it on sale. They are the 1992, the Eclipse (American publisher failed for several years) and have the particularity of not being dedicated to comic book characters, but to the authors (U.S. only, with the exception of Moebius). I bought the whole box, hoping to put together the entire collection (110 cards, of which 109 are dedicated to authors and one for the checklist). Each card has a picture of a hand, the author and, secondly, a small picture, biography and major works. In short, it's like having a small book devoted to the comic strip star. Among the authors I quote a few at random: Eisner, Kirby, Aragones, Perez, Caniff, McFarlane, and so on. Among other things I could (as happy as a child) to put together two complete collections. If someone wants to buy a second (15 € in total), can write for info to fioridiciliegio@alice.it.
