After a harrowing drive in a freak snow storm last night, especially nerve-wracking when going through the Berkshires, Denro and I are in Albany for a comic book convention. These one-day shows are nice because they’re small and manageable. Joltin’ Joe Sinnott is here, and this is a picture of Denro with Joe.
Dennis is holding the original art to page #19 of Fantastic Four #46, the third issue of many that Joe inked over Jack Kirby’s pencil art. Technically, it’s the fourth issue of FF Joe handled because he had inked ish #5, before leaving Marvel for a while when he was under contract with Treasure Chest comics.
The power is out at my house and at Dennis’ too. I’m told there is a large tree down that’s blocking my street. It’s a dead end, so I’ll be returning to a dark, cold house in a neighborhood I can’t leave!
Joe’s had his share of sadness, but drawing comics for a living sure beat his cement factory job.
What gets me every time I see a photo of Joltin’ Joe is how damned happy the guy looks. We should ALL look this serene and fulfilled in life. I’d give my right arm for one-fifth of this guy’s well-being. More power to you, Joe! 🙂
