Daily Birthdays and Events in Sci-Fi, Comics and related areas

February 6, 2012

Deathlok, Rich Buckler, Escape from the Planet of the Apes, Space Jam, Inhabited, Shazam!, Christopher Robin, Close Encounters of the Third Kind.

Happy Birthday to artist and Facebook friend, Rich Buckler. As I've mentioned before I was lucky enough to have Rich do a great sketch for me back in the early 90's. It's never left my collection.

A great actor who was born today was Patrick McNee. Patrick was the fellow who played Mr. Steed in The Avengers. The Avengers was created by Canadian, Sydney Newman, who also created Doctor Who.

Also, I want to point of that the first adult Tarzan actor was born today.

Enjoy !!!
