| Man, that cover is rad as Heck! I'll see myself out. |

| I love this. Been looking for this story but couldnt remember where it was from etc. 'The Concrete Coffin' is a great little story. Looks a bit like Kirby in places which is interesting, but Im a huge Don Heck fan too
Thanks for all the hard work on the site |
