We just got a copy of the cover to #1 in color, and so we pass it on to you.

A sad good-bye to Tony Randall. I once went to a taping one of his TV series “Love Sidney,” and was impressed by his confidence and professionalism. Also saw him in a touring company of “The Odd Couple,” him and Jack Klugman. Also encountered him in the streets of New York many years ago and chatted with him for a minute. Always wished we could have done lunch or something, but never had the chance. And I’ll never forget his two line acceptance speech after winning the Emmy for Best Actor in a Comedy…after Klugman had scored it several years in a row, and when the show had just been cancelled. It was something like, “I’m very pleased I won. Now I just wish I had a job.”

The ones I feel the worst for are his kids, who won’t have a daddy as they’re growing up. Seems unfair somehow.

I think I’ll put on my laserdisk (yes, I still have some) of my favorite Randall work of all time: The Seven Faces of Doctor Lao.

Yes, the picture above is some of the first artwork from the upcoming MadroX series. We also have a character study and a page of art featuring a familiar face…

Order early. Order often. Order multiples.
