Tent of Mystery. Whatever happened to Mike Bannon?
The typical publication About Comics is released because of the publisher About Comics Nat Gertler thinks it’s good stuff… but their latest book has an extra reason. Reprint of a comic book series drawn by Mike Bannon is being published not only because it thinks it’s funny stuff, but because both publisher and writer would like to find Bannon, who had cut ties with his comic friends more than a decade ago. Attempts to contact him through old contacts and old addresses have gone unanswered. And so the hope is that this book will somehow get Mike’s attention and he’ll realize that people want to hear from him.
