Soft cover. Condition: Very Good. 1st Edition. First edition (Number Line to 1). Signed and inscribed by both Pete Fornatale & Bill Ayres. I'm not finding another signed book for sale on the Internet. The book's in very good condition. There isn't any soiling on the covers but there is what looks like a little cellophane scuff on the front cover. There aren't any tears on the covers or on the pages. The book is very solidly bound, pages and covers. There is age darkening/toning on both inside covers and end papers, also a little bit at the margins of the pages. The pages are in excellent condition. I'm not seeing any creasing. There are no markings. No attachments of any kind. And the signatures (with Pete Fornatale's inscription) of the two co-authors represent the only writing to be found anywhere in the book. Pete Fornatale was a New York City disc jockey and author of numerous books on rock and roll. He is considered a 'pioneer of FM rock,' who played an important role in the progressive rock era of FM broadcasting. He was the first person to host a rock music show on New York City's FM band, commencing November 21, 1964 on WFUV. By broadcasting progressive rock and long album tracks, he was noted for introducing a musical alternative to Top 40 AM radio in New York in the late 1960s and early 1970s. Billboard called his station 'a legend, affecting and inspiring people throughout the industry. He gave early exposure to country-rock bands like Buffalo Springfield and Poco, and did one of the first American interviews with Elton John. In 1991 he was co-host of Paul Simon Live in Central Park and was often called to be an expert guest commentator on PBS specials, including those featuring Bob Dylan, John Fogerty, The Grateful Dead, Jimi Hendrix, Roy Orbison, Peter, Paul and Mary, Simon & Garfunkel, James Taylor and others. Bill Ayres is a talk radio host and executive director and co-founder of World Hunger Year. Ayres became a Catholic priest for the Archdiocese in New York in 1966, but always had a fondness for radio.'. Inscribed by Author(s).

The Hot Rock Glide reproduces a full aviation adventure sequence from Smilin' Jack at the height of its popularity, when the strip blended pulp-style aerial action with humor and serialized storytelling. This particular arc is notable for introducing several recurring figures, including the grotesque villain Head, the heavyset comic foil Fat Stuff, and the enigmatic Downwind, whose unseen face became a memorable visual device. The reprint format preserves the pacing and panel rhythm of the original newspaper run, allowing modern readers to experience the strip as it unfolded for contemporary audiences on the eve of World War II. Mosley's clear line, mechanical accuracy, and instinctive understanding of flight culture remain evident throughout. Contextual and historical significance: Zack Mosley's Smilin' Jack ran in more than 300 newspapers from 1933 to 1973, making it one of the longest-running aviation comic strips of the twentieth century. Appearing during the golden age of barnstorming and early commercial aviation, the strip helped popularize flying for a mass readership and influenced later aviation comics and illustration styles. This 1979 Gulfstream Printing edition represents a late-career retrospective moment, produced when interest in classic newspaper strips was resurging among collectors. Signed copies are uncommon, particularly with dated inscriptions, and appeal primarily to comic-strip historians, aviation art collectors, and institutional libraries documenting American popular culture. Subjects: Aviation comics, Golden Age newspaper strips, Zack Mosley, Smilin' Jack, American cartoonists, 1930s aviation culture, syndicated comics, Comic art, aviation history, American popular culture, newspaper strip reprints.
