| John Goodwin of Galaxy Press with Frank Frazetta print based on the stories of science fiction author L. Ron Hubbard. John told me that he was able to keep the original Frazetta paintings done under commission that these prints were made from. Frazetta usually kept for himself his original paintings. John and I briefly discussed our favorite sci-fi authors and he encouraged me to check out L. Ron Hubbard whom I've never yet read. |

| Cory Glaberson of Reel Art Collectibles sets up at many collector shows and I've seen him before at the Chiller Theater show in New Jersy, where I bought some original magazine sci-fi art two years ago. Cory always has a great selection of vintage science fiction and horror movie photos and posters. |

| Marvel & DC velcro patches |

|
| Marvel comic book logos of Hulk, Thor, Iron Man |
|
| These are large posters reproducing the cover logos used on Marvel comic books in the 1960s. Each Marvel comic in those days had a logo of the comic's main character featured in the upper left hand corner of the front cover. |

|
| Here's a nice print of the original 1960s Star Trek cast. The Leader didn't care for the later Star Trek TV versions so he never photographs those up close, with one exception; see the next photo at right. |
|
|
|
| |
|
| This closeup is from a post 1960s Star Trek episode I presume. But it shows what appears to be the big circular time travel machine called the Guardian of Forever which was featured in the Leader's favorite 1960s Star Trek episode "The City on the Edge of Forever." Does anybody know if the Guardian was used in a later Star Trek episode? |
