Fantastic share! Thanks. Loved the comics stuff and that Godzilla poster is awesome. (I'm making it my new screen image.) The two-page comics story was a winner as well, a story fit for Plop!
ReplyDeleteFor sure! The artist's signature on that looks vaguely familiar, but I just can't place it. He's not credited in the ToC and not listed as one of the contributing artists in the indicia.
