Few covers in the period scream “We got Photohsop!” like this one. Peep that drop shadow. At least this is the rare situation where having a bunch of different fonts on the…

PPSM 22
ASM 22-24 are a 3-parter, so we’re sticking with PPSM for awhile before getting back to it. I’m not complaining! Sure looks like a Byrne swipe from Chapter One on the cover….
