Michael Vance reports this morning that there are a number of new arrivals, as well as expected ones. Nearly 300 newspaper strips have come from Wayne Truman, consisting of Smilin' Jack and Dick Tracy. And, get this, some of those strips date back to the 1930's! Not only that, but Don Woods has evidently sent a number of color and black-and-white original Gusty drawings. The Collection will also soon receive originals from Dan Dunn, Tom Floyd and Andrew Pepoy.
Also, due to generous donations (as well as Michael's selfless selling off of some of his own collectibles, I'm sure), there will soon be a mannequin in the museum, sporting a VERY sharp Twilight Avenger costume donated by Terry Tidwell.
Thanks to everyone who has donated art, time, funds or anything else to the O.C.C. It is GREATLY appreciated, and will help insure that the museum continues to wow and amaze patrons for generations to come!
