Thanks very much for preserving these exciting and entertaining issues. I wasn't smart enough to subscribe when they were new, and local news dealers didn't carry every issue. |

I first read THUNDER Agents when I found a beat up old copy in a friends collection and have loved them ever since! While others tried to bring them back, they were mere pastiches of the original run. Now, thanks to you, I get to read Dynamo's stand alone series! A million thanks for making these beautiful copies available! |

My copy of this says the scanner was Tomander. |
