Not a request per-se, but a suggestion! I love DC's supernatural heroes, like The Spectre, Deadman, the Phantom Stranger... John Constantine, Swamp Thing... so if you have any of those to post, I would LOVE to see them! Long-time fan.

of course! I can definitely keep a look out. I have a big backlog of scans I haven’t combed through yet, life has unfortunately just been a bit busy the past few months to fix them up and post. Rest assured this blog still remains one of my favorite little pet projects! Thank you!
