I was especially interested to learn that the banquet's program was illustrated by Frank Cho!

It is not the only work of this kind that Frank Cho does. He is a member of the National Capital Pathans--the Baltimore/Washington chapter of the Burroughs Bibliophiles-- and he and fellow member and comics artist Mark Wheatley supply the covers to the club's bi-monthly journal.

Finally saw ENOLA HOLMES on Netflix. It was decent, B-.
Henry Cavill who is dour and wooden as Superman is a fine Sherlock Holmes.
Anyway I rather see Cavill return as Sherlock then see him as Clark again.

I just watched a very entertaining 1961 noir thriller called Cash on Demand. I mention it here because it stars Peter Cushing and Andre Morrell, who had starred as Holmes and Watson in the 1959 film version of The Hound of the Baskervilles. Both films were made by Hammer.
Historically, comic book artists have supplied covers to a lot of non-comic book stuff. Wally Wood for example did a bunch of pulp sci-fi novel and magazine covers. Wood even supplied a cover for one of my father's books, I don't recall which, (my father was a minor contemporary of the big name sci-fi novels from the 50s through the 70s, though he's been published in about 80 languages and had fans writing him up to his passing, so he wasn't entirely minor, also winning some awards, mostly in the mystery novela categories. Anyway, it was a typical Wally Wood cover).
I guess just doing comic books doesn't always pay all the bills.
