Joe Kubert had this hanging on his wall.
Probably my greatest artistic achievement to this day. I was 12, had taken Joe's advice to draw from life - so I drew my Kenner Alien. He liked it so much he asked if he could have it and, with me in his office, hung it on his wall.
Conceivably, he could have taken it down the moment I left, but it was (for however long) hanging on the wall in Joe Kubert's office.
I'd like to fantasize that he still has it... and looks at it each day while sipping a bordeux. All I have is a creased photocopy of it - but I still have the Kenner Alien.
For those of you who don't know who Joe Kubert is - shame on you.

Now THAT is a great story!
When I was a kid, I traced an ape face from one of Kubert's Tarzan comics - and I really doubt he would have wanted that on his wall.
Thanks for commenting on my Blog. How did you ever find it?
I've got an even BETTER story that involves a 9 year old me, Stan Lee
AND Joe Kubert. And I've even got pictures.
And I really do have a couple spacesuits in my closet. The only
benefits of having had your pilot canceled before filming began.
