Finally, we come to the end of this sorry disaster. It didn’t occur to me that Tom DeFalco writing SMU 1 was so unusual. He appears so frequently on the blog, and…

This cover has made me laugh for 30 years. This cover just feels fed up to me. “I’m sick of drawing this crap, WHATEVER, Carnage face!” I can’t know where Sal was…
