I never met Mr. Casebeer, sadly, but he sounds like a guy I would have enjoyed spending time with. If memory serves, back in the 50s didn't a publisher of comic books realize sales increased whenever they had a gorilla on the cover?
And, before I forget, thank you for this blog. It's become a daily visit for me.
I'll buy any magazine with a gorilla on the cover.
ReplyDeleteDid you know Lance Casebeer, Bill? He had a great collection of gorilla paperback covers.
