One side has a B&W version of the cover of the issue, the other side a letter from Joe Brantacelli.

Can anyone verify, and maybe recall which came first? That art was also used in at least one ad around that time. The other stickers were reprint, although maybe the last one, "The Calling Card", an image of Mr. A's own card, should be listed.bobhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02357760578699371017noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19782351.post-63262867164618698212009-09-17T16:03:21.761-04:002009-09-17T16:03:21.761-04:00And you can delete the period after his name in th...And you can delete the period after his name in the title -- Mr. A., 3rd draftMike DeLisahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10088464114642427648noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19782351.post-89237077810544110912009-09-17T16:03:00.425-04:002009-09-17T16:03:00.425-04:00If you are going to include "Masters of Comic...If you are going to include "Masters of Comic Book Art", which included some Mr A images, you should include J.
