A comics fanzine cover for FUTURE GOLD (Dec 1980/Jan 1981. By fan artist Rudi Franke, who was much more visible in the 1970's and early 1980's period. His work was frequently seen alongside artists like Lela Dowling, Frank Cirocco, Ken Macklin, and other artists who originated from the San Francisco bay area. I'm less familiar with his work outside of comics, I suspect he also did fantasy art for illustrated books and SF/fantasy pulp magazines.
He did a lot of work for comics fanzines, and also had several advertised portfolios and prints.
I love the name FUTURE GOLD for a comics fanzine, implying the future value and appreciation of the books and art we all love.
