Notes from Don McGregor

As Don sends me images of the art that he is selling there's also some notes worth sharing. It genuinely breaks my heart to see him have to part with his artwork.

Don writes: "RAGAMUFFINS is the series I held for Gene [Colan] for years. It is the first comic to print color and pencils. Dean [Mullaney] gave me all the finished color holds. I have everything connected to the series, with the exception of the lost, never printed THE PACK RAT INSTINCT. This was Dean's favorite book of everything he did with Eclipse. If I had to gun to head choose a favorite, it would probably be this or DETECTIVES INC. If nothing else, you get to see some great Gene pencils with coloring by Steve Oliff."
