| That is a good-looking scan of a sharp copy of BABE #1. Gotta love that Boody! Apparently inspired in equal parts by Wonder Woman and Li'l Abner. Only wish we could get the complete run on here. Thanks, titansfan! |
|
| SHMO was funny and Babe is a very interesting read with moments where I chuckled lightly. |
