Hannes Bok

Ciba Symposia ~ 1943-47
This medical journal is easily the most obscure, and hardest to find,
of the professional magazines that Bok contributed to
these are the only covers I'm aware he did for this mag

Happy 4th of July

Every 4th of July from 1968-1976 I attended
Phil Seuling's Comic Art Convention in New York City!
What incredible memories! There never has been or ever
will be the equal to those gatherings!

Highlights from the program booklets of those years!
