Favorite Movie Quotes: The Untouchables

Al Capone: "A man becomes preeminent, he's expected to have enthusiasms, enthusiasms, enthusiasms. What are mine? What draws my admiration? What is that which gives me joy? Baseball! A man, a man stands alone at the plate. This is the time for what? For individual achievement. There he stands alone. But in the field, what? Part of a team. Teamwork. Looks, throws, catches, hustles, part of one big team. Bats himself the live-long day, Babe Ruth, Ty Cobb, and so on. If his team don't field, what is he? You follow me? No one. Sunny day, the stands are full of fans. What does he have to say? I'm going out there for myself. But I get nowhere unless the team wins."

Cryogenic Comix # 6






1st edition, 1998, 15 copies, green cover, yellow guts, regular digest size.

1st Danger Room Reprint Edition, June 2005, 5 copies, all yellow, regular digest size.

There were two short comix I drew in the early 1980s: Fun in Acapulco and Pacemaker Defect. I can tell some of these drawings were prep work for stories in one or both of those titles. Arnie Wormwood shows up on 3 pages here. The gentleman with the beard and glasses is Dean True, who was once a neighbor to one of Ernest Borgnine's ex-wives. Page 7 has, for reasons I have long since forgotten, drawings of Woodrow Wilson and Herbert Hoover. That's Al Capone on the bottom of page 6.
