Appreciate you so much, Charlie! Thank you! 🙏🏽🙌🏽

That's not from me, I don't know who is doing it, but right now the only licensed Murderbot shirts are from worldbuildersmarket.com and the proceeds go to charity.

Appreciated, Simon! Thank you! 🙏🏽

Thank you! 🙏🏽

I really should look into that. I’m rereading my original issues. Or at least the few that I actually own from that era.

Or how much friends of the time influenced our tastes. Some of that passion stuff holds up. And some of it doesn’t. 😂 Loved your nine — all killer, no filler. 💪🏽

Fantastic list and writeup. Pumps me up to go track down some HEAVY METAL mags. Great stuff, man. 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽

Yup. This really is one of the quintessential Michael Golden books. I have it. Need to hunt down a good beat-up reader copy.

Absolutely. I’m re-reading these this week. ✊🏽

We discovered X-MEN around the same time. I was only about a year before this.

I can’t hear about KISS for more than two minutes without your Gene Simmons impersonation making a cameo. I always associate these guys with you. And I say that with full respect & hope Gene doesn’t file an officially-licensed KISS lawsuit upon you. (Gene, leave the Joltin’ One alone. Let it ride.)

Don’t play me like that. Whaddya mean Marv wasn’t??? Growing up, I literally pictured him looking like DC’s Cain in real life (as in Cain and Abel). So sort of mid-transformation.

WITCHING HOUR!!! Great call, man. I need to go back and dig up some of those. 🙌🏽 Perez was a big one for me when I was a kid. I was a little crushed when I found out he was Puerto Rican, not Mexican. 😂 Great, great stuff — you were right — we evolved from some of the same, strange brew.

I said it to you before — I know those were early days, but the leaps you achieved from issue 1 to issue 8 opened my eyes. And of course, your work kept becoming more potent from there. And those SHADE covers….. geezus. 👀 Been Team Fegredo ever since. ✊🏽
