Just trying to contact Rob, to thank him for neat (and insightful) review of Russ Kick's
The Graphic Canon, especially the part about the Gilgamesh entry!
Kevin Dixon, the artist, spent first two years of his life in Asheville, where I had gone back to teach, 1965-67, having finished MA at Hopkins, after 4 yrs at UNC, and the five before that as a student at Asheville School (9155-60!) Just wanted you to know the Asheville connection, and
thank you…
