Whew!

Weinberg was a bookdealer, specializing in pulp, fantasy and sf books, and a collector of original fantasy and sf art.  He also authored a number of books, both fiction and non-fiction, did a little comic book writing for Marvel, ran conventions, and appears to have been something of a polymath.

This posthumous tribute volume, cleverly formulated to look like an issue of Weird Tales (Weinberg wrote a book on the subject), collects thirteen pieces on collecting original fantasy and sf art that Weinberg wrote for the online magazine, Tangent, along with a number of reminiscences from friends and acquaintances.  Collectors of comic art will find much that is similar to their own experiences.

 I particularly enjoyed Weinberg's piece on meeting Ed Cartier and Harold W. McCauley.  I left the book with a sense of regret at not having met and known Weinberg.

Not available on Amazon, but can be ordered directly (do an online search), or I believe, from Bud Plant. 

Many thanks for you taking the time to put that list together. I am starting to build my list of books to read in 2018 and you gave me several good ideas. Muchas gracias :-)

I look forward to reading it, little is known about them.

When I first came across Dan Dare, circa late 80s, he was a Judge Dredd-style character with a big gun and a robot companion. It was a pleasant surprise when, around 1989/90, the original Dan Dare tales were reprinted in some annuals.

I look forward to more original Dan Dare!
