Oh Man! ..."The Clock" is great. I just love the super-sterotypical Asian bad guy! I never even heard of this comic before, but I am so glad I downloaded it. I recommend this one to all G.A. comic lovers!
(I don't even know who you are that run this site...but I think I love you!) :D |

Supurb quality scan. The front cover is a little beat-up, that that just adds to the charm. Bright and easy to look at, colors are distinct, text is crisp and easy to read. This is what every scan should aspire to. |
