[QUOTE=The Darknight Detective;4126532]Heh. Never saw her in the local department stores back then. Besides, I'm pretty sure my mother would have said no to purchasing that. :)
The snap-together ones? For my seventh birthday back in '72, I got the Allosaurus, Neanderthal Man, and also the Saber-Tooth Tiger.[/QUOTE]
Yeah. I started getting them in 73-74 when I was 7-8. Had those ones, the Wooly Mammoth and Rhino, The triceratops, the swamp set, and the Cro-Magnon Woman.
My Grampa was cool about getting me all the girl models and toys when I wanted them. Was into models a lot until I started collecting Megos in 74 and on.

He was one of the better artists of that time. I especially loved his work on [I]Dolphin[/I].

Rather than singling out only one honoured individual, here's the full page for the ACBA Awards announcement in the November 1971 cover dated issues--

O'Neil and Adams looked young courtesy of whichever artist drew them, but the other guys were made to look old--especially Bob Oksner, yet he was fifty-five at the time. I thought he was a senior citizen based on that pic and every year after that I was amazed he was still around. In fact he lived until 2007, passing away at ninety.

Thanks, Jim. I thought there was more to it, but I couldn't find it.
