My old pal Sam Maronie<\/a>, who took so many wonderful convention photos during the mid-’70s, many of which<\/a> included me<\/a>, just surprised me with yet another taken at the 1975 Mighty Marvel Comic Convention<\/a>.<\/p>\n

You’ve already seen the one of me and Moon Knight co-creator Don Perlin<\/a> snapped during that same weekend. I don’t know whether this one was taken before or after that one over the March 22-24 1975 weekend, but it’s definitely a different day, because I’m wearing a different shirt and yet another hat loathed by my wife.<\/p>\n

That’s bearded me in the back, looking down.<\/p>\n

All of those around me — the ones I recognize, anyway — are long gone. That’s Len Wein<\/a> to the far left, and Duffy Vohland<\/a> looking back and up at him. On the far right are Michelle Brand<\/a> and Marty Greim<\/a>.<\/p>\n

That long-haired guy with his thumb to his lips might<\/em> be Doug Moench — but it might also just be yet another long-haired guy. There were a lot of us back then. I reached out to old friends who might remember young Doug better, and will update this post once I hear back.<\/p>\n

I don’t recognize any of the others in the room. If you do, let me know.<\/p>\n

Thanks, Sam, for letting me do some more time traveling!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
