Kate Hayden - Edgar Allan Poe

2016 add-on cachet from Kate Hayden. Another eBay purchase, so I have no information on the artist

I thought I would show a few of my favorite commercially produced cachets for the Poe issue.

Chaczyk - Edgar Allan Poe

Drawn 1983.07.07 - 2015 purchase

Artist is unknown, besides the name Chaczyk.. I can find little information on the artist, except that he produced a line of cachets for first day covers in the 1980s and 1990s, out of the Detroit area. This was purchased on ebay.. I am a big fan of Poe so I could not pass on this..

Samantha Johnson - business card.

I met Johnson at the Non-Sport Card show in Allentown, Pa. picked up a nice sketch card, but I really liked her Poe business card...

Chris Ivy graduated from the Parsons School of Design, NYC. He started his career working for John Romita and Don Parlin in the Marvel Bullpen. Ivy is most well-knonw for his inking for Marvel over the pencils of Ron Garney (Ghost Rider), Dwayne Turner (Cage) and Michael Bair Tom Morgan (Alpha Flight), James Fry and Stephen Platt (Marc Spector: Moon Knight)...

Ivy eventually moved on to inking for DC Comics - Sovereign Seven, Flash, JLA, Beast Boy; Image Comics - Shadowhawk, Supreme; Valiant - Bloodshot; Dark Horse - Aliens v Predators v Terminator, Star Wars: Bounty Hunters-Kenix Kil; IDW - GI Joe: Cobra Civil War and Dynamite Entertainment - Army of Darkness...

Ivy has also worked as a penciller on JLA, Fantastic Four, Psi-Force, New Avengers, Cloak and Dagger and many other titles...

Ivy has also served as colorist and cover artist for many comics...

I thought the Raven subject matter for the Edgar Allan Poe FDC from 2009 was a perfect match...
