In 1971, a 30-year-old Neal Adams sat down to crank out a Superman cover for Julie Schwartz. Took him an hour or so. It became one of the most iconic comic book covers of all time. Coming up at Heritage soon. Might be a million dollar piece.

The web was a tool created to bring the world together. It opened lines of communication and allowed for new thoughts to be shared worldwide. But just as it brought people together, it allowed for a firehose of hoaxes, conspiracy theories, and lies to spread, dividing people and their viewpoints.

The problem with believing vaccines are dangerous is that by the time you realize you’re wrong, it’s too late and someone you love dies of a preventable disease.

RIP Graham Greene. Every time he popped up on screen when I was a kid, my mom would excitedly point him out for being an actual Native on the screen. Able to be deadly serious and infinitely hilarious (even in smaller roles like Last of Us), he ate up the screen. Nʌki’wah brother.
