FF 218
It’s the thrilling(?) conclusion to TAC 42. Someone’s written “3-4” on the front in pencil. Behind that cover by Al Milgrom and the legendary FF inker Joe Sinnott, we have Bill Mantlo…
TAC 042
The great Mike Zeck joins Bill Mantlo writing, Jim Mooney on inks and Janice Cohen on colors for this one. Mike Zeck before he was a big name, I think, in this…
