Hi Jimmy,
Thanks so much for letting us know that the
Mike Fenton interviews were up on the Academy of American Television Archives site. Listening to him was SO interesting - and not just about his "I SPY" insights, but about his whole career. I had planned on only listening to the first parts about his "I SPY" experiences, but ended up listening to the entire interview.
Mike Fenton - Casting Director and Associate Producer on "I SPY"
I find it so interesting having the names on the "I SPY" credits finally come to life - and finding out more about the talented people behind-the-scenes who made "I SPY" so stellar.

And thanks also for the refresher course in "Comic Books 101"!! I had forgotten some of the details - especially about the poor plastic "enshrined" high-end versions. Definitely reminded me of "Sleeping Beauty" waiting for her prince to come set her free!!
Yes, I agree - comic books should be read and loved, and not encased in plastic for all eternity!
And for those of you still interested, that primo "I SPY" Comic Book #1 is still at $258.00 with 11 bids on eBay. I imagine people are waiting till closer to the end of the auction to continue the bidding.
