That's Bill Wallace manning his table in the dealer's room. Hard to see in the pic, but behind him are one-sheets for MIGHTY JOE YOUNG and THE NEW ADVENTURES OF BATMAN AND ROBIN SERIAL. On the table, are dozens of Golden Age Timely comics including CAPTAIN AMERICA, THE HUMAN TORCH and MARVEL MYSTERY.

More Houstoncon '71 dealer's room action. When you look at these photos today, it's astonishing at the caliber of quality posters, comics and collectibles that were being sold.....all at a fraction of what they would bring today.

Not only was Superman at Houstoncon '71, so was Blackhawk!! Kirk posed for pics in a costume that belonged to "Bronco" Bob Mitchell.

Pro comic book artist and fandom great Don Newton, who died far too young. Don regularly contributed artwork for Houstoncon program books, ads and door prizes gratis....

Kirk receives his Houstoncon plaque in appreciation for his portrayals of Superman and Blackhawk. Deservedly, he earned the title, "The Last of the Serial Kings."
