What made many of the great adventure comics of the 1960s so attractive were their fantastic painted covers by artist George Wilson. Unlike other comic book covers of the era, Wilson's covers harkened back to the era of pulp magazines and were spectacularly eye-catching. He turned in efforts for literally hundreds of comics titles including: Classics Illustrated, The Twilight Zone, Ripley's Believe It or Not, Dr.Solar, Magnus Robot Fighter, Turok, Son of Stone and Star Trek, to name but a few. This new art book focuses on over 300 examples of his cover art and features numerous examples of Wilson's artwork scanned from the originals together with many of the book covers he created including his extensive run on Avon's The Phantom (as well as his work on the Gold Key version).

This book examines what exactly the Jim Crow laws were, why they were established and more importantly, how these outdated laws have cast a lingering effect on the black race in America as we attempt to progress in this country. I then cover a list of different topics that we, as a people, struggle with, the origins of these issues, and explore possible solutions we could implement in order to move past them. My desire is that you reflect on those areas that hit home for you in my book, hoping that a positive change can take place ultimately resulting in unity, prosperity, and growth for all African-Americans.

Four kids break into a house known to be abandoned in their hometown. As they feed their curiosity, one knocks over a canister of gasoline, and the fumes cause them to evacuate, ending their night; what they didn't know was how dark the night would turn as the home suddenly goes up in flames. Hiding with the trees, they watched the firemen come rushing out with a child in their arms. Believing they murdered a child, they carried this deadly secret for over a decade and tried putting the past behind them. But as they attempt to enjoy a vacation in the mountains with close family and friends, someone hasn't forgotten. And that someone is seeking revenge.

In March of 1997, I decided to try something different and unique. I decided to give show business a chance as a career, because my regular evening job was not promising a move up with a college degree. At the present time, I do not recall how I found this agency. I think I might have located the agency through a local Manhattan newspaper that was popular at the time. I registered with the agency, and a couple weeks later, a call came for me to appear in a major motion picture called Godzilla; thus, this was the beginning of my Hollywood career. I was an extra on the set of Godzilla; from this exposure, I developed the talent for writing poetry, short stories, and memoirs. Thus, this book was published.
