Great job unearthing this one William!
I have a good collection of JB's published work (I'd like to think 90%+) but I love to see new old stuff.

How in the world did you track this down?
What issue number of Monster Times is it in?

Love it, it's like EC Comics meets MAD magazine!

Great Wrightson vibe.

…the shading on the tap is pure ‘70’s Byrne…

70s Byrne copying 70s Neal Adams!

Twice Told Tale: In my early days, I resolved to sign myself only "John". I did so on much of my fanzine work, but one day at a con I met Tony Tollin for the first time, and he told me he was getting credited for that work. I took another look at my stylized "John" and realized that, yeah, it did look a whole lot like "Tollin".

Thus was born the squashed spider which, with variations, has been my signature ever since I turned Pro.
