Today I invite you out to a great meal, a dinner with one of the absolute greats, one of the creators of Wolverine, the artist with one of the longest

runs, if not the longest run on the Incredible Hulk ever.

G.I. Joe, Godzilla, show gun warriors, Indiana Jones, just what didn't Herb, Trimpy,

Over the course of 2013 and 2014, we had some amazing dinners.

I finally got to meet one of my idols.

We got a lot of stuff off our chest,

and I'm going to share it all with you today on an all-new episode of Rob'servations.

Hey everybody, welcome to another edition of Robbzorations. I am your host, Rob Leifeld. I have

been making comics, writing comics, drawing comics for 38 years.

This is my area of passion and expertise, if ever there was one.

He passed away in 2015,
