I got this email today

Just a quick heads-up to our readers who are interested in science fiction / fantasy art.

George Scithers's personal art collection has been consigned to Worlds of Wonder, and they listed the items on eBay over the weekend. If you're interested in originals and prints by people like George Barr, Frank Frazetta, Frank Kelly Freas, Tim Kirk, and many others -- check it out! There are a bunch of Conans, a Fafhrd & the Gray Mouser, magazine interiors, etc. A lot of stuff you'll never see again.

I'll try to turn it into a link. If it doesn't work, go to ebay.com and search for Scithers Estate (check the box to search both titles and descriptions)

http://desc.shop.ebay.com/i.html?_nkw=s ... itleDesc=1

I'll put the Worlds of Wonder announcement at the end of this email. More info there.

Yeah, I noticed the email was a Wildside Press email, which means I got it because I'm a Weird Tales subscriber.

I didn't know if you were now a sworn enemy or an ally.

I am, in fact, helping with George's estate matters.

Really? Are you being serious or is this one of those Ironic IMWAN posts? :)

I am being quite serious. I was at the funeral at Arlington National Cemetery this morning. (Before he was the Hugo Award-winning Asimov's Magazine editor and the World Fantasy Award-winning Weird Tales editor, George was Lt. Col. George Scithers, Army Signal Corps, Korea.)

Hey all,

Just noting that there are about six hours left in the auction of George Scithers' art collection. Original Frank Kelly Freas artwork from Astounding! Original art from the legendary '60s Conan fanzine Amra! An unbelievable one-of-three-ever-made Isaac Asimov-with-a-robot mug/sculpture commissioned when Asimov's magazine was launched!
