From Facebook. Sal Buscema is no longer with us, but Bill Mantlo is. Even if he's not the person he used to be, it's a treasure. #BillMantlo #RomSpaceknight

I think he and Brandy had the perfect ending to their story and it's just a shame they couldn't resist going in and meddling with it since.

We've got a lot of comic book people on here, right? Did I invent the expression "The Devil of Hell's Kitchen" for Daredevil on Season 1 of the TV show, or was it around before in the comics?

Who printed out a ROM: SPACEKNIGHT iconic image on a gray tshirt?

THIS GUY!

I did it with only 1 pass of white ink base to keep it looking like newsprint.

When i print one on a black T, I'll do 2 passes of white so it's all super bright!
