See what I did last post? Ho ho. Now here we have an unusual thing, the 100 Page Monster. This was apparently based on something DC did in the 70s that Tom…

PPSM 20
And so we enter a new era. As of this issue, PPSM is the domain of Paul Jenkins and Mark Buckingham. This will be a fruitful partnership, as I recall, producing a…
PPSM 19
Look at that ugly blur. It adds nothing to the image, makes it actively uglier, and makes all the effort Larsen put into the background largely meaningless. I hate blurs in comics….
ASM V2 18
Not the best cover to announce your biggest villain is back. “Can you guess whose hands these are?” This issue is John Byrne’s last (Huzzah!) and to send him off in style,…

Webspinners 12
I did say all the Spider-books had made it to #12, and that includes Webspinners. A stunning $3.50 for this one! Hard to believe I paid it. And I don’t… really know…
