My Missive from Marvel's Mooney!


The late "Gentleman" Jim Mooney sent me this letter in the 90s, after I inquired about some art he had for sale.

Jim's family and mine got to know each other at a fantastic 1994 Florida convention we both attended as guests. Jim and his wife fell in love with our then-infant son, and my wife and I were taken with the wonderful Mooneys. I soon saw how Jim earned his Marvel "Gentleman" nickname.

I still miss Jim, as both a friend and a terrific artist. He had long stints on such comics as SUPERGIRL, AMAZING SPIDER-MAN, SUPERMAN,  MARVEL TEAM-UP, and so many more...
