Wait a minnit! This picture was published in the most recent Alter Ego magazine, which I just picked up last week! The "George" being referred to is George Roussos. I thought this was common knowledge by now?

Indeed it was, Dave. A friend e-mailed me the image and I posted it BEFORE I knew it was going to be in ALTER EGO. In fact, I told ALTER EGO editor Roy Thomas about it that same day and he did tell me it was going to run.

Joe also drew a "Bat-Man" for More Fun Comics #28 and it was published almost a year and a half before Detective #27.
