Walter Simonson and Arthur Adams - Persistence of Memory (Disney Adventures digest 1991)



"Persistence of Memory" was a collaboration between two of comic's modern titans, Walter Simonson and Art Adams, that appeared in the August 1991 issue of Disney Adventures.  Both creators were life long dinosaur fanatics, dreaming of becoming paleontologists as kids, so this little 8-pager must have been an exciting dream project for them.  Why it appeared in a small digest-sized Disney magazine for kids, and remained mostly obscured from their fans all of these years, i'm not sure. I noticed that the late Len Wein was the Editor-in-chief of the magazine's comics sections, so i'm assuming he had something to do with bringing this pet project from two of the most known dinosaur fanatics in comics together. 

until it is given a new home, ideally printed somewhere at full size rather than the criminally small 5x7 dimensions of the digest, here are some high res scans for scholarly review.
