Thanks to macsnafu for pointing out this title. The stories are entertaining and the art is good, especially on Ted Hardy and Thunderbrand. My only quibble is that Jonathan Jones' sidekick Kewpie O'Toole and Rusty "Crash Kid" Adams look so much alike that at first I thought they were supposed to be the same person.
