Steve,

Good issue, perhaps not quite up to the first issue but it's hard to find stories as fine as the 'Green Lama' story that ran in the last issue. Kudos for using that particular 'Black Terror' story from 'Black Terror' #16. When you had the entire issue posted, I thought this one about "the Patriotic Americans" was the best thing in the isssue. 'Speck, Spot, and Sis' wasn't at all bad for a humor filler.

Thanks and take care,
Jon

   I agree completly! If I hadn't already posted Black Terror that would have been the lead story. I wanted to use some particularly good stories for the 1st issues of my books and ones that hadn't been used in Pure Excitment Comics.

Last month's quote: 
Janine: "You're very handy, I can tell. I bet you like to read a lot, too."
Egon: "Print is dead."
Janine: "That's very fascinating to me. I read a lot myself. Some people think I'm too intellectual. But I think reading is a fabulous way to spend your spare time. I also play racquetball. Do you have any hobbies?"
Egon: "I collect spores, molds, & fungus." 
-Ghostbusters

This month's quote: "Ooooh, I knew I shouldn't have eaten that packet of powered gravey I found in the parking lot..."
