Lee only taught the first semester, but we became friends and stayed in touch. 1983 marked<BR/>the last year of TCR publication,<BR/>so there is a gap in time there.<BR/>1983 was also the year of my first<BR/>professional comic book sale: the inside of Red Circle's THE FLY #4!<BR/>Ditko cover and lead story!
