I want to give a shout out to my local shop that I buy at. Parts Unknown owned by John Hitchcock has been nominated for a Will Eisner "Spirit of Comics" Retailer award. A lifelong collector and fan, John regularly tells stories about the greats in the business. From being befriended by Will Eisner himself to eating dinner with people like Al Willamson, having close personal friends like Scott Hampton and George Pratt, or knowing Alex Toth well enough to write a book about him sharing their personal correspondence back and forth, John is an encyclopedia of knowledge rivaling Mr. Bob. And I would LOVE to see his original art collection....I can only imagine. I know he owns some of the artist editions from Jack Kirby himself....how cool is that?? Congrats Parts Unknown!!!!
