Content Description

John Fantucchio, aka "Fandom's Fantucchio," was a prolific artist in comics fanzines, while working his day job of art director at the CIA. His collection contains a comprehensive array of fanzines, original art, comic-con programs, and comics sales lists. Many of the fanzine titles are represented by complete runs, such as "Rocket's Blast Comicollector," and the art is notable for Fantucchio's use of a wide variety of materials, including Duoshade paper and Zipatone.
