Attempted Bloggery: Bob Hemminger's Copy of Let's Boogie! by James Stevenson

For those keeping score, this is the second copy we have seen on this blog of the cartoon collection Let's Boogie! (1978) by James Stevenson personalized by the artist for a single person, Bob Hemminger, with an included sketch. This one from Space Cadets Collection reportedly comes out of the estate of comics historian Bill Bush, as did the Charles Saxon book in yesterday's post also made out to Hemminger. We have also seen a book from Edward Koren dedicated to the same individual with a superb drawing. It's possible, then, that Hemminger collected these by mail, sending a book (or two?) and requesting a signature and drawing from the artist, but there are other possibilities. Brilliant.

Space Cadets, I may have mentioned yesterday, is selling much or all of its inventory for 25% off this weekend only. So while this very loose self-portrait may not be the best Stevenson drawing I've seen in one of his books, the price is right.
