I don’t like him? What have I ever said or done to indicate such a thing?
My objection is to his work and business habits. As a human being he occupies virtually no space in my brain.

I remember Chaykin because a buddy had him draw a sketch in his GREY MOUSER hardcover (he had a Mignola sketch and a PCraig Russel sketch in there already).

Steve Coates:: "A single occurrence was found where (where John Byrne and Howard Chaykin) both attended, but it was the Great Eastern Convention of 1994 in New York."
************************
Semi-related but not pertinent :: JB & Chaykin were sitting next to each other chatting/trading barbs most of the time I was in line waiting for a pencil sketch from JB at the 1979 NY Great Eastern Convention.

I imagine any story about sitting next to Howard Chaykin would involve trading barbs :)

I remember the Novi con. I was told the town got its name from being the sixth stop on an old stage line. No VI.True?

That sounds like something from an old science fiction story.

I looked it up. There are half a dozen origins for the name. One is the stage line depot.
