Another Charles Vess cover. This era has a lot of them, and I am certainly not mad. This is David Michelinie’s first crack at Web, but definitely not the last. He’s joined…

ASM Annual 19
Now here’s an extra weird case. I got this one in elementary school. It was at some kind of… bookshow or something? It was like a book convention or something, in a…
