For Chic

The only image that caught my eye was of the book jacket that had Gustave Dore as the illustrator. I believe that he was the artist that did some fabulous drawings for the book "Don Quixote". Having worked on the original Broadway production of "Man Of La Mancha" which remains my all time favorite. I have quite an accumulation of Cervantes stuff.


Chic, didn't you recognize Gargantua on the cover. Below is another illustration of Gargantua by Gustave Dore. I bet you thought Gargantua was an acid scarred Gorilla from back in the day. That's probably why you don't know who King Tusk is. Fact of the matter, there are a half dozen Gargantua's, take your pick. Couple of million Tommy's, take your pick. But only ONE King Tusk.
