We got us a fill-in. Last issue promised the debut of Silver Sable, but that’s actually next month. I have read that Tom DeFalco was notoriously late with scripts in this period….

WEB 002
Looks like either $5.00 or $8.00 written on that bag. No longer have a clue what I paid for it, but probably not that much. For the moment, Web is still Louis…
TAC 101
Now here’s an iconic cover by John Byrne. I made a cut vinyl sticker of this that covered the whole lid of my first laptop. As we wait for TAC’s next regular…
ASM 263

Uncanny X-Men 190

ASM 245
It can’t be that easy, can it? Dave Simons is back on inks this month. Has anyone inked more than 2 issues in a row of this run? I don’t think so….
