Al Milgrom’s kind of beating Frank Miller to Sin City on this cover. We got us a fill-in. This one’s written by James Owlsey, aka Christopher Priest, who just seems to keep…

ASM 297
For the record, I have no memory of buying or ever reading ASM 296 & 297. I think I’ve had them for many years, but I don’t really know. Some evidence suggests…

TAC 133
