| John Skerchock with John Zacherle |
|
| John told me that one of Zacherly's most popular skits on his TV show was dissecting a giant amoeba named Thelma. Zacherle made the amoeba out of frozen jello and spaghetti and other putrid stuff. |

| Art Harvey is my favorite movie poster and publicity photo dealer. I've known him for about two years and buy photos and posters from him at Chiller Theater and the Mid-Atlantic Nostalgia Con. This time at Chiller Art sold me a complete set of eight movie photos from Underwater, 1955 with Richard Egan and Jane Russell and Escape from the Planet of the Apes, 1971 and 22 other photos. I look forward to seeing him again at the Mid Atlantic Nostalgia Con this September. |

| Art Harvey with a nice rolled re-issue 1964 insert poster of the famous science fiction movie This Island Earth. The 175.00 price is reasonable but it's not one of my favorite science fiction movies so I passed on it for now. |

| A rare photo of the Leader at the Empire Dinner after the show Saturday night. The Leader last October attended Chiller with a friend Jim Carlin of Vienna, Virginia. On that trip and a few others in the past the Leader, under Jim's tutelage, developed a modest taste for New Jersey diners and the Leader seeks to indulge that taste on his trips to these Northern regions. On the Leader's shirt is a silk screened image of the first page of the first Spider-Man story from Amazing Fantasy #15. The image is from a computer file of the original art to the complete story which is stored at the Library of Congress. The Leader obtained a copy of those computer files on his visit to the Library last year. |
