Creator: Dale Enzenbacher




I was introduced to the work of Dale Enzenbacher in the mid-1970s at the dealers room of the San Diego Comic-Con when it was at the El Cortez Hotel. His art is truly remarkable. At the time all I could afford to buy were the belt buckles you see above. A folded handout was available at his table. Below are a detail of one side; the full image on the other side; and all the text and images on the inside.





For more information on Enzenbacher, see Starlog #25, August 1979, page 17, “SF in Bronze: The Mad Sculptor of San Francisco” by Bob Woods, which can be read at the Internet Archive.

Enzenbacher was a member of the Merry Marvel Marching Society (M. M. M. S.). His misspelled last name appeared in Kid Colt #126, January 1966.
