Alter Ego is always worth reading anyway (it & Back Issue are both on my LCS pull list), of course, but #77, which came out yesterday, contains an especial gem -- Ken Quattro's 3-page recounting of his solving the mystery (as much as possible, anyway) of William Ekgren, the man who rendered the following 3 covers some 55 years ago & then seemingly vanished back into the mists whence he had suddenly appeared --

Quattro also wrote an article on Ekgren in Craig Yoe's Arf Forum.
