I believe it is mid 60's Ditko. From his "How to Draw Comics" comic he had made for I believe Charlton.
Does anybody have one of those issues that they would mind parting with? I have always wanted to have one of those!

I periodically shift my icon through scans I have from my very, very, very limited collection of original art.  The Green Lantern drawing I was using was from a nice piece by Sheldon Moldoff of GL, Flash, and Hawkman.  The Spike I have now is from a Sheldon Mayer preliminary drawing for a Sugar & Spike splash page.

Hey Narf, your latest avatar.
I'm not sure what that is on your sleeve.
Monkeys want to know.

I will be changing it soon. It was joke from a passing mention of heart on his sleeve. The heart is from the cover of a sixties Eerie publication cover.

Here's the issue I got it from:

Fantastic Giants, year 1966, published by Charlton.

I also remember the book your talking about, but I don't remember if it was used in that book.

Ah, the image was so small I couldn't tell.
Now I get it.

 This thread made me to decide to pick an avatar, and I'm checking to see if uploaded the image correctly. I use an image of Mr. Elixer, who is secretly the Voice, on Facebook so it makes sense to use him here. Mr. Elixer only appeared in six stories in "Feature Comics" in 1940. I like him because, at 150, he was, arguably, the oldest mystery man.

I have grown attached to my Stardust SuperWizard pic...I think his spirit of unpredictability and pointlessness has become a rallying cry for me.  I have an animated one over at ComicCollectorLive, but I wasn't sure that the forums would present it properly here.

well...there you go...it does work!

Stardust pointless!?!?!

I know...sacrilege, right?  Maybe 'random' would have been a better choice.  What was that line from Harry Nielson's THE POINT?  "A point in every direction is the same as no point at all"

Mine is a Dalek (I think, have to check after I post here)
they are a bad guy from the classic Dr. Who sci-fi series.

p.s. Yup, it's a Dalek.  ;D

I'd be shocked if many here didn't know the classic Daleks Charlie.
Perhaps distant cousins of the Borg?  ;)
