Yesterday I visited an old (in both senses of the word) friend, an artist, at his new studio in Glasgow. This guy is the pulp fan and collector I've mentioned previously and he also knows a bit about old comic artists. I was going on about a pile of old Dell comics and an IW Red Mask that I'd recently bought and how I'd found some Kinstler stories in them. I was already a bit of a fan and was telling him how good this guy looked. Without a word, Russell got up and went to his bookcase and pulled down a weighty tome which he handed to me. And there was JVJ's Kinstler hardback in all its glory. Great book, full of gorgeous samples of his work and simply loads of background information. So, it's thank you to Russell for knowing what I was talking about and to JVJ, for producing such an excellent piece of work.
