Artist Matt Baker (Dec. 10, 1921 - Aug. 11, 1959). Active in the Golden Age, he is most remembered for his amazing covers & beautiful women. Tragically, he died of a heart attack at the young age of 37. #BlackHistoryMonth

THINGS THAT MAKE ME HAPPY: DC Finest Hawkman: Wings Across Time. I liked Hawkman as a kid. I grew to love the character & the intricate plotting and world building of writer Gardner Fox when I reread the comics for my own Hawkman run. These stories are some of the best from DC’s Silver Age. 1-23-26.

Gardner Fox's Ys is my favorite concept in the DC Universe an inversion or negation of this/here without causality but with narrative.

My youngest and I were able to attend a prerelease for Lorwyn Eclipsed! I think I picked the right top! 😂 He lost early and wanted to go home, but it didn’t tarnish the event because he loves the cards so much!! That art!! We are going to play our decks again and make trading piles from our chaff.❤️
