The ODD Readers Honor Roll
The index card subscriber records for the 1964 to 1966 editions of ODD reveal some interesting facts. In total, 1,004 ODD issues were distributed. No. 12 was the best seller, with 207 copies sold. Here's the complete rundown. (This list isn't totally accurate. For example, I do not have a card for Marv Wolfman, but I know he did receive all 12 issues.)

Here's what Jay Kinney had to say when he saw the list of names...
|
| Interesting stuff. A few surprise names in there. Ken Sanders in Salt Lake City is now a well-known antiquarian book dealer. Don Zabriskie was a childhood friend of mine whom I tried to get to do stuff for comics fandom. He did a page or two for my fanzine, Nope. Larry Rippee was later involved in underground comics and worked for Gary Arlington's S.F. Comic Book Co. Dick Flinchbaugh was later involved in SF fandom and became a print-maker, if I am not mistaken. Dick Flood was a comics fan who lived in a nearby Chicago suburb, whom I once met while we were in high school. Richard "Grass" Green was a fan cartoonist, and one of the very |

few blacks in comics fandom. Dwain Kaiser was later active in SF Fandom. Gene Klein was also in SF fandom, and was later the leader of KISS (as Gene Simmons). Phil Roberts was involved in satire fandom. John Stanley became a TV critic for the San Francisco Chronicle. Yoe Comic Center was undoubtedly Craig Yoe, later a designer and also editor of cool comic anthology books. And of course, there were well-known comics fans as you noted, such as Buddy Saunders, Roy Thomas, Marty Arbunich, Jeff Gelb, Fred Hembeck, Jim Jones, and Bill Spicer. All in all, a quality readership. |
