I have been a fan of Sean Hartter ever since I spotted his work bumping around geek art sites that I like to frequent. So of course when the opportunity to get some Hartter-made Retroist themed magic made, I jumped at it.

So I am very happy to show you the cover of the very rare (and Hartter-made) Retroist magazine from June of 1974 (a very good issue).

Retroist Magazine had a very short run. Only 16 issues (counting the double size French-Canadian language only double issue at the end.) If you have never seen the Retroist Magazine, I suggest you start poking around in the basement of that weird uncle you have. I am sure he has the entire back catalog. If you do not have a weird uncle. (Really?) Why not enjoy the early version of the Retroist as a website.

For more Sean Hartter magic, check out his work on his blog and on deviantART.

Remember when Mickey Mouse decided to commit suicide?
Unless you lived in the 1930s or are a fan of vintage comic strips you might not be aware of the attempted Mickey Mouse suicide.
