No telling why anybody would go nuts in this infested town.<br /><br />Last: that doctor wanted to drop acid at the hospital. I'm pretty sure he's safer buried in the basement.

Yeah, I guess there's some decent panels here... my initial intro might have been a bit harsh. <br /><br />>Did the ad come from the same comic book?<br /><br />Yes, this ad is from this issue of Dark Mysteries. I usually try to keep the ad bonus from the same issue but sometimes I use whatever I have in my back-up folder. Some issues contain tons of great ads so I scan them all and save/use 'em later whenever.<br /><br />Thanks for the comments, we have one more Dark Mystery coming up, and later next week I have an amazing, (possibly unpublished?) rarity submission that will blow your coffin lids open!

Again – the power of simple, declarative words. And who would not want to force others to see “what a rough, tough, scrapping, deadly-efficient hellion you can be”? <br /><br />Great post and great story.Mykal Bantahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12148489896145024134noreply@blogger.com
