Do a wiki search for 'joe simon illustrator'. Many of your questions may be answered.

Wiki is your friend - quite often.

Not saying 'NO' doesn't mean 'YES'.

The foolishness of one's actions or words is determined by the number of witnesses.

Perhaps if Brains were described as an APP, many people would use them more often.

Respect, like money, is only of 'worth' when it is earned - with all due respect, it can not be ordained, legislated or coerced. Anonymous

Here's a link to what is described as the original art to what looks much like your second print. Yours seems to have more characters added on the left side. Looks like 1970's drawing style to my eye. Not an expert on the subject.

Now this one appears to be just like your second print. Says it's original artwork.

Well...not just like. The one in the link is the original artwork, whereas OP has a reproduction print of that original, with different size, and with the copyright mark before the signature.

I stated "your print" in both of my replies. Was simply trying to provide something a bit more helpful than get yourself over to google/wiki.

Yes I know. I was just trying to clarify / avoid any misinterpretation given the OP's request to "know what I have." I wanted to point out the reasons for the difference.

Litho is short for lithograph . You most likely have an offset lithograph print produced mechanically versus one made from a stone or metal plate which would be numbered in the lower margin.
