Photo From My Past Turns Up

The picture above was recently sent to me by my buddy, Bill Black.  That’s me and my lovely wife, Doralya at OrlandoCon 1980.  What’s interesting is that until this week, I’d never seen the whole photo before.  

“Wait, what?  The whole photo?” you ask.

Let me explain.  At the show Bill was taking photos.  For this picture he said something to me like, “Look excited.”  I guess I opted for look crazy.  Anyway, Bill used a cropped version of my face on the inside front cover of Bill Black’s Fun Comics #1.  It looked like this…

So I did see the cropped version that appeared in the comic (and so did you if you read this post from 2007) but never the whole version until recently.  It’s weird seeing a photo of yourself from years ago that you’d never seen before.
