All the 1970s - 80s Dope Riders, along with other of my comics, are in my anthology Awaiting the Collapse. The comics I've done from 2015 through 2020 are in my new anthology, A Fistful of Delirium. Both are available at www.paulkirchner.com. If you'd like to purchase Dope Rider merchandise, I’ve opened shops on some on-line stores. I have a Dope Rider shop at Red Bubble and have a Dope Rider Store at CafePress.com. Your patronage is most appreciated!

Erich Meyerhoff (1919 - 2015)

Erich Meyerhoff was a longtime friend of my wife's family. He was in charge of the Cornell Medical Library for many years and when I moved to New York in 1970 to go to Cooper Union School of Art he gave me a part time job in the library that kept me afloat. Cooper Union had free tuition bu I had to cover the rent on my Lower East Side apartment--$80 a month in those days. 

Erich was one of those wonderful people you meet now and then. A kind person who was interested in everything.

My sister-in-law took this picture of him a few months ago when he was looking at an album of my recent Dope Rider strips.
