Scott Turow, good Chicago kid, had hell of a run putting out brainy Legal thrillers in 80's-90's - all set in same fictional universe. Ever looking for a good read, hard to go wrong with any of his books

On my Mount Rushmore of all time illustrators. Only quibble - wish he'd done more "dramatic" comics work. Some of those EC covers hint at what was possible - but gotta believe those TV Guide covers paid WAAAAY better
