Greg Bennett collection of cartoon drawings at Library of Congress

Greg Bennett may have sold his share of Big Planet Comics and decamped to Northern Europe, but part of him remains here... at the Library of Congress. Most of these pictured are from SPX when Greg was more involved in organizing it. The Stan Sakai might have been done at a signing at the store, and I don't recognize Mike Luce at all, but I remember most of the others. Whatever happened to Joe Chiapetta anyway? Reference photos are by Sara Duke.

  1. For what it's worth, I'm Mike Luce and Greg bought the story I did for Tom Devlin's "Coober Skeeber: Marvel Benefit Issue" back when it came out in the 90s. He had the whole five page story, but the image depicted is the last page of that story. Thanks for posting it! While I've continued to make comics since then, that's my only published (by someone else) story to date.

  2. Mike, thanks for chiming in. I have the Coober Skeeber book somewhere, but I haven't seen it in years.
