| Notes | I really like this first edition. I trust that darkmark will not be offended by my adjustments to his great scan. I've straitened a few pages and have also enriched the colors. If what I've done is against the rules of this site, I then apologize in advance. Hopefully, you and darkmark will approve. If not, then I will not be making adjustments to your comics again. There is more information about this book at the bottom of the page | |||
