| Is this the debut of the Dream, if you wheel???!!! |
|
| From about this issue, there seems to have been a deliberate editorial change of policy for this book. No more superheroes, all 'realistic' action and a sprinkling of cheesecake. And is this the first Senorita Rio? |
|
| Perhaps it's just as well. Fiction house just didn't know how to handle superheros anyway. It was never one of my favorites, like National, Timely or MLJ. But I never had any money to buy all the comics when they were just coming out. So I take this opportunity to check them all out now. I have projected myself into the future, simply by staying alive, and am now able to live a miracle thanks to Comic Book +. |
