A look at some of the things Robin Snyder picked up in his time working for DC editorial in the early 1980s, some stuff he worked on and some earlier unfinished work from others.
The cover is an intro page intended for Ghosts #112, the final issue of the long-running series, featuring Squire Shade, the host for the last run of the book, written by Snyder and drawn by Howard Bender and Larry Mahlstedt.
An uninked Green Lantern page by Don Heck and Snyder (with the hint that there are other unpublished GL stories by Giffen and Ditko).
From E. Nelson Bridwell is a layout for the first page of a Snow White parody, possibly intended for Plop.
A script for the first page of Savage World #3, an unrealized 1970s project from Robert Kanigher and Joe Kubert, this issue featuring dinosaurs (attn Stephen Bissette).
A layout for the final page from "Letter From A Corpse", a western story by Sheldon Mayer, which I believe was an "Ace Coffin" story, a prototype from the development stage of what became Bat Lash.

Mart Nodell is up front, with a 1993 illustration of his Golden Age creation Green Lantern.
Inside Robert Kanigher, a frequent Green Lantern writer back in the late 1940s after Nodell's time, provides a few manuscript pages of an unpublished Green Lantern story he wrote in 1982.
Over in "Under the Gun", the passings of Vic Donahue, Blanche Fago and Vernon Henkel are noted and there are letters from Robert Rowe, Mike Tuz, Nick Caputo, Joe Frank, Gary Poole, Harry Leeman, Athos Bousvaros, Daniel Tesmoingt and Donnie Pitchford.
"And my favorite 'villain' would have to be the pathetic, infuriating, and maddeningly hilarious Grey Negotiator!" -- Gary Poole (on Ditko's new comics)
