Vintage Richie Rich handmade magnet "FZZT!!" (1977)

Years ago, I had a flood in my beach apartment that left me with many damaged comics- I began to make art out of them, as I couldn't bear to part with them.

All hand-cut glass (cut by me, with many scars to show for it!) and framed in copper, these are all original panels, when I know which comic it was, I identify it..but sometimes I have no clue. People have been sending me their damaged comics to transform.

Richie Rich was never my bag as a kid, but a friend gave me a couple beat up old issues- they are actually hilarious! And I love the art. "This rock is now PEBBLES!" Classic!  from Richie Rich issue #9 (May 1977)

If you search the internet for the hashtag #glasscandybar you can see many of my past pieces.

 I  got a lovely note from JJ Abrams when I sent him a few of my pieces: 

They will come in a box (if the piece fits! otherwise, a very sturdy bubblewrap job) All backings are different things, recycled packaging etc, like so:

I also have mirrors and soon matchbooks in this style, go look around!
