Art Show fantasy art fanzines from 1970s NoVA

Over the weekend, I found a couple of fanzines from B. Singer, published in late 1977 and early 1978 in Springfield, VA.

The publisher described them as "ART SHOW is a monthly publication dedicated to fantasy art in all its forms. We hope to provide a monthly marketplace for collectors of fantasy art, as well as information of interest to all fantasy art lovers." However, they're mostly catalogues of art that was for sale. Artists included are Stephen Hickman, Jeffrey Jones, Bernie Wrightson, Joel Pollack, Michael Kaluta, Neal Adams, Vaughn Bode, Phil Trumbo, Charles Vess, Michael Kaluta, Boris Vallejo - and yes that Joel Pollack is the founder of Big Planet Comics.

Bono Mitchell has passed away

Local artist Bono Mitchell, long time-friend and employer of cartoonist Richard Thompson via Bono-Tom studio, has passed away according to her nurse on Facebook.

For many years Bono and Tom Specht art-directed magazines that used Richard's art, and she was one of his closest friends, visiting him regularly as he fell sick. She was a talented artist in her own right, and did lovely watercolors. Beyond that, she was a true character - larger than life in many ways - and a caring friend who will be missed.

 

Here are Bruce Guthrie's pictures.
