CLOBBERED

All-time great Marvel Comics inker/swell guy Joltin' Joe Sinnott broke his right shoulder--that's his drawing arm--in four places on St. Patrick's Day. His son Mark, writing on their website, reports that Joe won't need surgery, but adds:

Needless to say, Joe will not be able to draw the Spider-man Sunday strip at this time or do any other drawing or autographs for some time as he has physical therapy to endure after the healing process. Let's all wish Joe a speedy recovery. Please feel free to e-mail him with get well wishes (belmark44@yahoo.com) or send a card or letter to P.O. Box 406, Saugerties, NY 12477. I am sure that hearing from his fans will help ease his pain.

Get well soon, Joe!
