| This cover is in a class of its own. Haven't been able to get it out of my head since I first laid eyes on it.
'As David raised old Glory on high, Sampson bursts forth from the flaming skull of the dictator!' And at this point I keep editing possible comments in my head and am rendered speechless.
But I'll try.
>You have three Nazis with guns feeding a woman into a furnace.In the shape of Hitler's head. What's your priority?
Why, put up the flag of course.
> Anyway one of the Nazis is just about to shoot his colleague in the head.
> Sampson is now Giant-sized, so he should be able to scare the Nazis to death anyway.
> Why is he so cheerful?
>The girl's feet have just burned off.
> And would you look at the eyes on Hitler's head?
He just knows Samson has just smashed through him.
> And I think that plane is about to crash into the sub.
What kind of coffee did they drink in those studios?
Some kind of classic. Not sure what kind tho.
