A memory just came bubbling up in my brain. How many of you also recall this FOOM cover, a remarkable representation of the old Marvel offices by the unmatched Marie Severin? That's Duffy listening at the keyhole at lower right.I'm not there, so save you're eyes! The folk appearing either worked in or regularly visited the office. In those days, I met neither criteria. (If I had appeared, Marie's delightful sense of humor would most likely have had me dressed like an Eskimo and leaving a trail of snow behind me.) A whole flood of memories come with looking at that drawing. It was in that office where he is shown at his drawing board that John Romita showed me how to draw the webbing on Spider-Man's costume. (That's Virginia Romita being stolen out the window by the ol' wall crawler.) The bullpen, at upper left, is where I spent a lot of my days when visiting NYC. That's Roger Stern at his desk also at upper left. Roger would eventually be moved across the hall into his own "office," and that's where I drew my one and only issue of IRON MAN. Those interested in seeing the entire drawing (it filled the front and back cover), go HERE and scroll down a bit.
