Tom Artis' Marvel Kids
Unpublished story shows late artist's gift
Our friend Doug Rice passed this unpublished story along to me, and I wanted to share at least the splash panel with you ComicMixers out there. It lead off a 1993 project called "The Marvel Kids" – its intent is obvious from the art.

Doug wrote the job, and our late buddy Tom Artis was the penciller. Al Vey rounded it off with the inks. It's a shame the project didn't go anywhere, as the creative team had more wit and charm than a barrel of pie-throwing monkeys at a Cirque Du Soleil gig.

Hey Doug,
If you're out there, I really sorry to hear about Tom.
Ah, the old Chicago Daze.

Hey Rick,
Great to hear from you, even on such a solemn occassion.
Yes, great 'Daze' is the word. Even Tom would've agreed with that.
Write again.

Dude,
Shoot me an email. ettacandy@aol.com I think of the Chicago daze often.
It started when I found the Jap TV Show theme song tape. Been listening to it ever since.
If there is a place I can send a donation to Tom's family, please let me know.
Big Hugz,
Rick
