From an introduction by G. W. Thomas: 
I know there are some others who have written comments for this book. I haven’t read them yet, but I have little worry they will be writing too close to what I have to say. This is because, unlike the good authors that M. D. Jackson has illustrated—and I am one of them—I can remember when the artist was twelve years old and drawing scenes from Edgar Rice Burroughs’ At the Earth’s Core. M. D. Jackson and I go back that far.
I know, for instance, that Mike as we all know him, was part of an artistic family. His mother Joyce was a watercolor artist of some skill. Her painting of Morfee Lake still sits on the walls of my home, a wedding gift given forty years ago. Joyce always encouraged “Michael”, as she preferred to call him, to work hard at his drawing. She could see the potential. She had faith.
Mike and I liked to hang out in his basement, watching movies on laser disk (remember those?), listen to music and plan films we wanted to make. Our first collaborations weren’t in print but on 16mm film. Awful and best forgotten. But there was other projects, like our first fanzine Hyperspace. One issue, half stolen from other books and sporting artwork by both of us.
Life goes on and with some practice you get good enough to let other people see what you do. For Mike, that turned out to be computer-supported artwork. (Let’s not pretend that he doesn’t also cobble more than a few words together as Jack Mackenzie. Not all that fanzine work was wasted.) The name M. D. Jackson can be seen on quite a few book covers these days. That’s why this book makes sense.
