An original art piece Guice did for a fanzine circa 1981, before he started working professionally in comics.
With comments from Guice about its creation, in celebraion of DETECTIVE COMICS' then-pending 500th issue, Guice's comments about it re-posted by the guy who posted this page online :

As I've said before, guys like Jackson Guice, Bret Blevins, Kerry Gammill, and Mike Mignola, were all doing pro-quality fanzine work for years, before they finally got their break and entered comics professionally.
I think Marshall Rogers is the one I've read interviews of, who was twisting in the wind the longest, before he finally got his big break and did his first work for DC in 1976.



And here's another "Butch Guice" piece dated 1983, that looks as if it could have been a page included in the above MARVEL FANFARE 9 portfolio.

Does anyone know the back story about why he started in comics as "Butch" Guice, and then changed his name after a few years to Jackson Guice ?
