Heroes of Engineering Comic: Dean is the December Issue

[Vince]

FIRSTers should find the December issue of the American Society of Mechanical Engineer's "Heroes of Engineering" comic series interesting.

Heroes of Engineering Comic Series

To celebrate the 125th Anniversary of ASME, a comic series was created to feature an Engineering Hero from each of the the 12.5 decades of ASME's history. While each of the other Heroes got a decade to themselves, the last issue of the series covers the period 1990-2005 and details some of Dean's contribitions to the decade-and-a-half.

The PDF download is of sufficient quality to reproduce on a large printer. If folks need it, a greater resolution version can be made available.

In addition to the December issue, I hope you find the rest of the series worth a look.

Cheers - Vince

Haha, I never thought I would see a comic about Dean, but you learn something new every day!

Oh, and I don't remember there being two center goals in the 2005 competition (look at the illustration of it in the comic). Hmm, I guess my memory is just going bad.

i like how even at a young age...kamen is portrayed in all denim...talk about knowing your subject (he's also looking pretty ripped in a few of those pictures...maybe he's been hitting the gym? ).

This is the same comic that was auctioned off at last summer's IRI. Actually Vince and Ron donated 2 copies of this comic: one was auctioned and the other was given to Scott and Libby Ritchie.

Thanks to Vince Wilczynski and Ron Spellman for this great effort and their charitable donation.

I believe that since Dean's father was a great comic illustrator, Dean is in a few old issues as a young boy.... (when he was a young boy)
