Thanks for the tip. Dave Dorman is kind of a hometown hero to me. I met him a couple of times at local comic shows, and then one time at his house when my buddy and I got to interview him for a career project in high school. About six years later we were at the same screening of The Empire Strikes Back Special Edition, and he remembered me. Super nice guy and a great artist to boot.

He also did the box art for my favorite 12" Convention set, "The Search for the Sasquatch"

Neat! He did some of my favorite comic cover art as a kid: I remember loving his covers to the Dark Horse Star Wars and Indiana Jones books, and really admiring his ability to capture the style of the Indiana Jones movie posters so well. I didn't know he had done Joe artwork, although I shouldn't be surprised: he seemed to be one of the go-to guys in that era, and for good reason. I grabbed one; the picture of Sky Patrol Airborne alone (one of my favorite figures as a kid) is worth the price. Thanks for the heads-up!
