Tom Lyle had some questionable notions about hands. “He’s not a good guy!” I believe at this time, Venom was still starring in a monthly series of miniseries where he certainly was…
ASM 395
Mark Bagley’s take on Puma is, uh, different. ASM is still the province of JM DeMatteis, Mark Bagley, Larry Mahlstedt and Bob Sharen. Bob Sharen: still hanging in there! Been at it…
