The Mystery Tent. Whatever Happened to Mike Bannon?
The typical About Comics publication is put out because About Comics publisher Nat Gertler thinks it’s good stuff… but their latest book has an additional reason as well. The reprint of a comic book series drawn by Mike Bannon is being published not just because he thinks it’s funny stuff, but because both the publisher and the writer would like to find Bannon, who dropped out of contact with his comics pals well over a decade ago. Attempts to reach out to him through old contacts and old addresses have gone without any response. And so the hope is that this book will somehow catch Mike’s attention, and he’ll realize that people want to hear from him.
