| It's a continuing treat to see all these Dell TV tie-in comics again. They were (and are) my favorite comics, even when they were new. I liked the Silver Age DC's when I was a kid (the Schwartz books, not the Weisingers). But give me a "Sea Hunt" or a "Have Gun Will Travel" and I really got excited.
I always wanted to draw a Dell TV or movie tie-in. Unfortunately by the time I was old enough there was no more Dell. |
