Over 100 Years of Comics Represented on a Ford Model A (Comic Book Resources)
Robert Luczun has shared his love of comics through an antique Ford Model A. Luczun's spent a little over a year covering the antique car with illustrations from the history of comics, dating back to the first published comic, "The Yellow Kid."

Luczun began airbrushing characters onto the truck on October 18th, 2004, the anniversary of the first published comic, "The Yellow Kid" (October 18th, 1896). He finished painting the truck just a few short weeks ago, January 12th, 2006. "As much as possible, the truck was disassembled and a lot of it was painted in back breaking positions," said Luczun. "The only record I kept was on airbrush painting hours-- over 2,000. This does not include the original restoration of the Model A, research and layout. I expanded also into wartime illustrations, political cartoons, movie stars and sci-fi.

The truck will be available for viewing at the New York Comic-Con held at the Jacob Javits Center February 24th through 26th. "The comic guys will be the true acid test! They know their comics!"
