Happy Easter from my frequent partner in comic book mirth Mike Pascale and me!

I should point out that the credits don’t tell the whole story here. Allen Freeman did color the woman in this image. But Mike Pascale colored everything else and significantly modified the art from its original romance comic look.

Happy Presidents’ Day!

I know George Washington and Abraham Lincoln are the presidents usually associated with this holiday. But I wanted to do something different. And I really like this quote by F.D.R.
