Ken Meyer, Jr. Takes Us into the Realm!
Ken Meyer, Jr. presents a monthly column called Ink Stains. In the column Ken (who is an amazing artist) posts a fanzine from his collection. Here’s Ken…
I have a collection of over 200 fanzines from the 60’s-80’s that I plan to scan and talk about, one at a time. I hope to have some of the participants answer a few questions. Many of those participants are established comics professionals now, while some have gone on to other things. I will show a few snippets from each zine and give you a link to download a pdf of the whole thing, which I hope all of you will do!
In Ink Stains 103, Ken shares with us Realm #5 which features an interview with Ray Bradbury, a Berni Wrightson checklist, a story by Jan Strand, art by Michael Kaluta, Vaughn Bode, Darrell Anderson, Dan Adkins, Alan Weiss, Carl Barks, Roy Krenkel, Barry Smith, Frank Frazetta, Richard Corben, Gil Kane, Bill Black (whose art is posted above) and many others.
As always, thanks to Ken for bringing back great memories of fandom!
