ABC TV Work

Bob sez: "It was a 26 hour rush for a new AD who gave the job to a illustrator who screwed

everything up. He knew I was looking for work after my NBC stuff. I was working for

publishers but needed the big bucks from advertising TV company’s. The job was finished

in the agency with everybody watching me paint over my shoulders. It was a nightmare!

        After that they gave me tons of work and free rides back to the house. Plus dinner."

Bob Larkin: Close Encounters of the Supereroe Kind

Another rare Larkin find!

Courtesy of the site "Browse the Stacks", here is the back cover of Italy's Supereroe (Superhero) #3 from 1978, promoting Marvel's comic adaptation of the classic Steven Spielberg movie Close Encounters of the Third Kind - and the adaptation's cover painting by Bob Larkin, of course!

Enjoy!
