One more thing: The Ollie Queen story has been an outright firestorm. So far, 30 comments (about six or so by me) in 24 hours! It’s been great to have such an intelligent discussion with input from so many individuals. I just want you all to understand that, after about 5PM Friday, no more comments…
Glorious new comic collection!
I’m heading out for the weekend. In case you’ve all noticed the long absences and grumpiness, it’s like this.
