http://rob-gustaveson.htm (My not so old and important (to me) blog (on my life in comics and SF fandom and in the New Age.) Fanzines, Ditko, Health, Spirituality, Politics. Tried to update it and stuff vanished so starting a newer blog. Thus this page you are currently on. It may look like the one that got you here but it is different.

Images:
comiczar/image/ Images of Image titles listed by me last month on Ebay that did not sell. See my other photobucket pages of 1000's of images at comiczar. 4sale still. I coined the term comiczar. Others have used it. I haven't except for images. My images are at photobucket under comiczar and graphic-illusion.

Eon #2 © Copyright Rob Gustaveson 1967/1968
Tim Kirk wrap around Cover. All rights reserved.
Note that the Back Cover (by Ditko) of Eon #2 -- on far left says: The Magazine of Graphic Illusions!
Therefore Beyond Infinity #1 (1965) is actually Graphic Illusions #1. Just above is Graphic Illusion (Eon) #2.
And Graphic Illusions #4 (1971) would be the very most accurate and is in reality: Graphic Illusions' Summer 1971 edition. Or #1. lol.
Beyond Infinity #1.
Eon 2 and Eon 3 were included for free in Capa Alpha distribution in the 1970's also. Note: I object to Roc Aloo in Eon #3 due to it's nature and also the subject matter of the front cover for I regard women as equals. I wish I had not printed the ads or Barger strip in Eon 2. Back Cover of Beyond Infinity #1 by me still represents my view on things in this world. But my story in Eon #2 is not timely nor am I for it. (Only because I like certain art and I was not true to myself printing art I wasn't personally into.) There was a sort of ego desperation to publish and be part of my crowd. We used our own money to publish back then and was probably my karmic completion of a past life. To be frank one loved comics, art & SF back then. Still do and lots more.
I do not think most things are black and white but I understand we usually live in duality in this world. My path is of Zen, Church of All Religions, and particularly of Spirit and Spirituality lived.
I do not authorize any printings of these fanzines I printed or the contents of them except by me (for any reason) if I so choose and I do not at this time intend to do it. I retain all copyrights. If someone wants to print something or wants free art all they have to do is ask. Then I will consider it.

In 2001 I put out Graphic Illusion (no s) as a one shot (so far) (just 10 or so special unique copies with free material were released). I called it the 30th anniversary issue. The intent was to bring my fannish activities to the present and a conclusion of the chaos that I think was somehow thrust upon me due to my young age back when entering fandom. I was side swiped by SF fandom, environment, associates and the world stage. To balance then in service to others while clarifying the truth is why I have a blog. And to try to influence others in a positive way. Comic fandom was my center at first. Then Alan Watts. Then as a youth caring about women took over. Now that I am older I can return to realms of mind. And service.
"Matter is frozen consciousness of God." --Yogananda.
I have given too much attention to fanzines. I seek to move beyond them. Yet I am an artist and Journalist and Philosopher so I think during this lifetime I shall not be far from comics, art, fanzines. Just that there is more.
There are many egos on Earth and some get wounded (unintended). Plus memory by me and others is not perfect with the passage of time.
Enjoy life as best you can in the eternal now and forgive those around you for this frees up your energy. God alone is the only reality. People making up stuff about you is painful and inaccurate and the Truth Will Come out. The more Light you bring out the more you get to deal with other darkness in yourself and others. Ultimately I surrender it all to God. (The God who has no opposite). Some have materialistic agendas. Forgive them too.
Video is my main current interest. Also Law and Healing.
I have been maligned online and that appeared in a book and also online (two different people I think) with 99% false statements. Making up something out of nothing literally. It may be resolved now. Retraction still needed and letter of apology.
