Mark Wheatley (R) and myself at our first San Diego Comic-Con in 1982! FWIW, I am sporting a Maxell (cassette tapes) T-shirt, and Mark is looking fashionably feline in his Cat People (1982 film) promotional tee. Mark's Avalon Hill game box illustration and my cover art for Fantastic Films magazine are among the various paintings surrounding us. Importantly, we sold our series Mars to First Comics at this convention.
