Monday Madness SLOW DEATH "Antarctica!"

The first Earth Day was in 1970...as was the first issue of this environmentally-themed comic!

In 2020, this 50th Anniversary final issue came out featuring a mix of new and classic tales!
This is the cover-featured new story about...
Writer/artist William Stout has worked on movie/tv storyboards and production design, illustrated comic books, album covers, and movie posters.
In 1989, Stout traveled to Antarctica and Patagonia.
His experiences there eventually resulted in a one-man show Dinosaurs, Penguins and Whales — The Wildlife of Antarctica.
In 1991 Stout received a grant from the National Science Foundation to participate in their Antarctic Artists and Writers Program.
For three months during the 1992-1993 austral summer, Stout was based at McMurdo Station and Palmer Station.
He made several dives beneath the ice, climbed the active volcano Mount Erebus, camped in the dry valleys, and produced over one hundred painted studies as he carefully observed Antarctica's wildlife.
Talk about "practice what you preach"!
