Great story Steve! Reminds me of when my comics fan mate Martin robbed my copy of Mister Miracle #6 (Funky Flashman issue). He'd swapped it weeks earlier but clearly regretted it. I'd love to say that my Mum tooled up, booted his door in and got it back, but I had to wait until the DC Kirby Omnibus to read it again. Bah! (as the Thing used to say).
(My own favourite Neal Adams cover is Tomb of Dracula #1)
I guess that was the ultimate expression of what a mother is. She may not agree or like everything you do, but loves you so much that she’ll defend you from anyone else who gets in the way of you doing it! Bravo, Missus Cook!

Thanks, John! I remember that Tomb of Dracula cover too!

Yes, she was awesome, and I miss her greatly.
