I never heard of that, but sadly I ...Hi Rob<br /> I never heard of that, but sadly I heard from a another pro, Tim had been in a terrible accident years ago. He's still not fully recovered I guess. Just like writer Bill Mantlo was while roller blading in the late 80's or early 90's. Was hit & run & left gor dead on a street. His brother Mike still takes care <br /><br />of him. I guess Bill is in a home & will never be the same. Sad to think one human being can do such things to another. Even if it was a total accident, then just drive away. Bill wrote Rom: Space Knight & the exiled Hulk story line in the early to mid 80's.Mike Mikulovskyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13426364090992151914noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7897120082101927069.post-28445274418296177012011-03-07T01:42:37.569-05:002011-03-07T01:42:37.569-05:00For some reason, I think I had heard or read that ...For some reason, I think I had heard or read that Tim Conrad was working in a bank, but that would have been many years back. Had both b&w and color work in Epic Illustrated and was in some of the Pacific books. He should be drawing Thor.Rob Schultznoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7897120082101927069.post-85327663041673540892010-08-18T06:35:46.731-04:002010-08-18T06:35:46.731-04:00Hey Groovy One!
I think I love B & W...Hey Groovy One!<br /> I think I love B & W wednesday the most of all your articles! Man Marvel indeed pulled out all the stops even in just their ads! Love them! Especially the Monsters Unleashed/Crazy ad. Wow! I never realized how many great ads were run for Marvel Preview also! I wonder what ever happened to Marvel doing the Hobbit? <br /><br />I guess that's why they did Weird World with Mike Ploog & I believe I read John Buscema did it one issue somewhere as well? I loved Marvel's Monster mags, Planet of the Apes, Dadely hands of Kung Fu, Unknown Worlds of SF, SSo Conan, & Marvel Preview. They all end way too soon! <br /><br />Doe's anyone know whatever happened to Tim Conrad? He drew this beautiful conan ad. As we'll as the covers to the Conan#2, Thor#5 & Dr.Strange#6. Marvel Comics Indexes. Published by G & T Enterprises from 1976-82. I'd love to see you do one or I would on those indexs. I own them all & they all had beautiful covers by the likes of Tim Conrad, Jim Steranko, Neal Adams, Frank Miller & Ken Steacy to name a few. I attempted to track Tim Conrad down. All I found out was that he once worked out of Chicago I guess in the 70's/80's. <br /><br />If anyone can put me in touch with him or Ken Steacy. I'd greatly appreciate it.

I remember them as a young kid in around '77-'80 and thought that they were for "grown ups", as they were in the magazine section next to things like <i>High Times</i> and <i>Rolling Stone</i>.<br /><br />Besides that, they were too much $$$ for my meager allowance. <br /><br />Yep. As usual, all the good stuff was gone by the time I was old enough to appreciate it. But at least Ol' (Uncle) Groove has this handy blog to tell us about those great comics. :)Abe Lucashttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13991534345391655980noreply@blogger.com
