Here's a link to another on-line obsession of mine (original comic book art)

And about Ron Cobb...years ago, a friend of mine was working with him at a now defunct video game company.
He was still doing great work.
It would be nice to see a new book on him covering his old stuff plus what he's been up to lately.

I think I'm still in LT-shock from just how eerily similar our libraries are... when I scrolled through the books we shared my jaw literally dropped open! wowza! Imagine someone who is as deeply an admirer of all things Neil Gaiman-related as I am! I admit I wasn't sure that was possible. *grin* Didn't you love his cameo in "Starchild" by James A. Owen? I am delighted to see that's one of the series we have in common. The illustrations and narrative in that graphic novel are outstanding! Glad to find a fellow fan.
Well, I can see I'm going to have to spend much more time prowling your library- pen in hand, jotting down wishlist titles with a gleeful smile. Perhaps then I could offer some more clear comments, since right now my mind's still abashedly reeling at the similarities we share. Cheers! (OH, and I'd welcome any comments/suggestions from you as well). :)
Much bliss & happy reading!

Yeah, I'm finally actually getting into the meat of my Ellison collection. Here's some back and forth between me and Keith Kramer about that - just FYI.
Barney,
When I met you for the second time in Cleveland, I had with me a copy of "The Book of Ellison" by Porter, et. al. Harlan signed it "Burn this bag o' crap. - Harlan Ellison." You have 365 (or a years-worth) of tags for Harlan, but no Book-of. Do you not have a copy out of respect for Harlan, or have you not been able to find one?
Serious question....not trying to pull your chain like last time. :)
-Keith
Keith,
I am only beginning now to catalog my Ellison books and materials. When I was the #2 guy on Library Thing it was from listing just "bank shot' materials that I would come across while cataloging other things. Someone else's book with an Ellison introduction for instance. The 365 tags I have up now represent perhaps 25% of my Ellison collection. Much less if you count some audio and video I'll be folding in with the books and magazines. Eventually I'll probably have a few thousand legitimate Ellison tags plus the ephemera where the connection won't be instantly obvious to the outsiders.
As for the Andrew Porter "Book of Ellison", I have a copy (or two) of the Trade Paperback edition, plus the early issue of ALGOL where about 75% of the materials originally appeared. My copy of that ALGOL is signed by Andrew Porter AND Harlan and may be unique in that regard. Certainly there would only be a handful in the world.
Harlan's animosity over that book was not an overnight thing. In the 1970's and 1980's he was reasonably happy to sign it. Problems arose over things Andrew Porter published in the late eighties and 1990's and "oughts" in Porter's magazine and because he may have been associated in some way with "Enemies of Ellison", although I have never seen a smoking gun in that particular regard.
And in terms of PURE SPECULATION - beyond all that - there is the issue of it NOT being a particularly attractive book - which has come to rankle more over the years. And finally there ***MAY*** have been a bootleg of the limited edition of the HC - although, again, that is a whisper of a rumor and I have never seen one of those mythical unauthorized HC's.
For the record, I don't own the authorized Algol Press signed/lmtd. HC but would buy one for say $50-60.00 if I saw one for sale. I've not seen one in a couple of years and when I do I'm never flush.
Now you know what I know. Cheers - Barney

And yes, we are both on the Kaluta list. You'll find more than a few Kaluta related art books in my library.

The Ron Cobb book is great. I was very pleased to find it at a convention years ago, as Cobb's film work was an early inspiration for me, especially his Conan art. There's a lot of his earlier work here as well, cartoons and illustrations for magazine and advertising. If you can find it, its worth picking up.

PS: Isn't this place (LibraryThing) great! I only stumbled across it a couple weeks ago.
