Year: 2024

Hey, look, it's Claudine Longet! Happy Wednesday, everyone. Weekend on the horizon.

This is from Ghosts, but DC not only had Weird War Stories, but Strange Sports Stories. It only lasted six issues, but good on you, DC. The 15th (!) annual Tween-Fest coming up the weekend of April 6th. See you there, we hope!

I'm too tired to think of  a joke, so have at it, guys. So, I'm not dead or anything. I was felled by a spring cold for a few days, though. Great timing, since I still wasn't caught up at work from Basement and B-Fests. Oh, well, there you go. Back to detailing B-Fest…
