1989 San Diego Comic Con Blood Drive Portfolio

Since the 1970s, the San Diego Comic Con has held the Robert A. Heinlein Blood Drive. In 1989 they gave people who donated a small portfolio of printed plates by different comic book artists as a way of saying thank you. The plates were 5" x 8" and printed on glossy card stock and enclosed in a plain white envelope. Here's the plates from that portfolio. They're tough to find on the second hand market.

Sergio Aragones


Jack Kirby & Michael Thibodeaux


Frank Springer

Alex Toth
